scary thought...

A friend of mine was just fired from MQ with no warning whatsoever! Apparently she had CC'd the wrong doctor (very similar-sounding names, ESL dictator). I know this is a major HIPAA violation, but everyone makes mistakes...we are only human. My friend always had excellent QA audits above 98%, 15+ years as MT, no other issues with her work. You would think they would look at this on a case-by-case basis, consider past record, when it comes to firing someone on the spot like that. It is ...

doctor clearly states "a fair amount of adhesions;" ASR transcribed "some adhesions." That is so bizarre to me and if I wasn't really LISTENING and was just flying through proofreading, I would have missed it. Not particularly treatment-changing for the patient, but certainly incorrect. ASR just flat made up dictation there. Absolutely amazing. If I did that, I would be fired. ...

An app to help interns and residents figure out just what to do in the ER? There's an app for that? They need an app to treat me? IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM? omg http://exclusive.multibriefs.com/content/new-app-helps-med-students-diagnosis-quickly-in-er/medical-allied-healthcare ...

During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand. As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc. On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement. Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc. I made a comment ...

I was just searching the web to find a type of surgical camera and found this on a used equiment site... Can you imagine...if THAT voice recognition worked as well as MQ's voice recognition... what kind of things might get taken out during surgery. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Surgical robot, AESOP, voice activated - $6,500 List: $75,000. MedCon: VG. Aesop model 2000 surgical robot, made by Computer motion medical robotics company. Also called an automated ...

A doctor who cannot pronounce encephalomalacia! She fumbles around with it for a while and then says "oh well, I will just spell it" and did so like she was asking a question (did spell it correctly though). This is an English speaking dictator with an MD credential. Must be a resident as she has a co-signer but, my God, she should be more familiar with terms by now you would think. She also fumbles around with common medication names and mg instead of mcg for Synthroid. Fo ...

Dictated: "The patient arrived from home by auto." VR's Version: "The patient arrived by curvilinear polo player." ...

VR: has been taking a lot of Tylenol. Should be: has been taking allopurinol. VR's way of "thinking" is getting a little bit frightening. It seems like it's changing context to accommodate its own errors. I've seen it insert words and phrases that are clearly not dictated but would "fit" with the mistyped term. ...

I have this doctor I've been working with for a few years through a company, who is very old. He frequently loses his place while dictating and often doesn't make sense. Today has been bad already. One report he dictated 3 sentences that did not make sense, nor was it clear what he was really trying to say. Another report he dictated the exam, paused, started to dictate exam and then realized he already did, started with the impression, dictated #1, t ...

dictation found on the internet back in 2008. Just now reporting this apparently to the general public. Just saw this on Facebook. ...

This is getting so scary. It's more than just holiday slowdown and winter storms. Where is all the work? Please, please, please, if any CURRENT employee knows anything, I'm begging you to share with the rest of us. ...

Too long to post here, but this is a must read. Link below. ...

Just had one dictate that this teenager took: Insulin 300-unit meal bolus plus 1 unit per 15 g carbs. Considering 300 units is a whole vial, that could be deadly. Looking back at old records it was supposed to be: Insulin 300 units/3 mL. Meal bolus: 1 unit per 15 g carbs. ...

work and be happy they had a job. But now, those same MTs have turned into slueths sniffing out less than honest MTSO. Must be scary to know any day, you could get a call from an attorny, like what happened to Transcend management. Like what happened to MM several years ago. Must be scary to be an MTSO and know that you have to do business in an honest fashion, or else, these days, good chance you will be caught being dishonest. Must be scary to think at the very least y ...

Anyone else get a status update that included "Skip the scary movie marathon and work overtime"? Them constantly asking for OT is what's scary and full of horror! But I need the money, so I guess I'll batten down the hatches and "find an hour or two before or after my shift" to help them out! Heaven forbid the managers ever hop on and transcribe! But I know they don't because when you ask them a simple question about account specs, they have no clue! If ...

Do you wonder how much the person makes who is sitting there reading all the First Time Right Essays? Sure would love to know that! How do I get that job? I guess I would qualify as I have reading skills. ...

I think this was a very large account and they could have divided the MTs who had this as their primary and put them on various other accounts. Yes, this would have overstaffed those accounts and more MTs would be getting NJA as we all scrambled for what work there was. Also, this way WMX would not be putting out unemployement for anyone and soon most of us would not have benefits because we couldn't keep our line counts up with NJA all the time. All in all, looks like the ...

What the heck happened to that 6.1 upgrade drawing with the TV and all????? Did anyone ask support or their CCM? ...

I'm just wondering what is with companies not calling you after you have passed a test and said they will? I don't understand it. Yes, I realize that they may have several people, but is it too much to ask for a phone call to do an interview or something? I am looking for a job and when I do pass tests and get excited that I actually did and no one contacts me like they said they would, it really bothers me. ...

I just realized that no one cares about the quality of medical records anymore. I have had to go to VR and I am now making anywhere between 4 and 12 dollars/hour. I guess people care more about the quality of their hamburgers than they do peoples' healthcare. I have started to just send them through. I don't even really listen to the work. I look at it and change any major spelling errors, but other than that, what the VR says is what they get. The fu ...

Could it be that the MModal and Nuance are buying all of these smaller, better MTSOs because they want to limit our employment options? If MModal (the Q) and Nuance are the monopolizing companies, and an MT who works for them just had all she/he could take, where could she/he go? Just a thought.... ...

This phrase was added at the end of an advertisement for employment. Obviously it was in-house, but found it.... well.... rude, I guess. Although I understand their position and their experiences, to include something like this in an advertisement would certainly send me running elsewhere. Any opinions??? one last comment, and from prior experiences we have to make this statement: if you have had mutiple jobs a year, have gaps in time in your resume without explana ...

that Alliance Medical Transcription in Houston TX is hiring for acute care account with a large teaching hospital with mostly VR but some straight typing and mostly OP notes. Good luck to those who apply. just passing this on because I have very little experience with OP notes and this was not a good fit for me. No "ulterior motives" for me. Just trying to help those in need. ...

What if we asked for stocks in the company as a benefit? I know Wal-Mart does this for their employees, because my SIL, who has worked for Wal-Mart for a long time, drew from her stock and traveled a distance and paid for a birthday party for her 3-year-old grandson and went shopping at our local mall and bought herself a wonderful new set of pots and pans (that new kind that is green and made out of ceramic) and just lived it up more than she could have done otherwise. Si ...

Have you all ever thought of letting your own doctor/s know that you will no longer have a physician who sends his or her work to a company to be done overseas and that you will now demand that your medical records be done in the US or you will seek medical attention elsewhere? Maybe start making a lot of noise on the doctor/hospital level? Just a thought. ...

I am making stupid, idiotic mistakes that I never made before. Yes I know I am older than when I started this mess of a job. But, I think with this ASR garbage, first being so wrong all the time, then trying to remember what keystrokes to use, blah blah it actually kind of puts you in a "trance." Its like you see but you don't see. Does that make sense or maybe I am just going insane? ...

Uploaded, now stuck downloading ...

As my husband pointed out (he sees how stressed I get) our local grocery store employs people with mental and physical disabiltiies as grocery baggers and they get paid more than I do with less hassle, better benefits and more time off. Not saying everyone should work in a grocery store but it is something to think about when you are getting grief for maybe being 1 point off on a BP supposedly putting a patient's life at risk or getting a major error for not including "include" w ...

If it impacted the physicians being able to dicate, would be having all these problems? ...

what will happen when the doctors start using templates and no longer have us to edit their reports. at some point they still have to dictate text, right. or will they be using templates for everything and just pulling information from the EHR. just curious how that is going to be with doctors completely being left on their own and accountable for their own records... for example, take the worst dictator you have and try to imagine them seeing their reports without any of the editin ...
