so-called testing - uuggghhhh

Posted: Jan 29, 2012

Let me see if I got this right.

You send me a few voice files. You send me a few templates. You send NO other instructions whatsoever. I wing it, based on my years of experience and common sense. The fact that I left out a blurb the speaker "always" wants in there (but never dictated) causes me to fail your so-called test?

A blessing in disguise I think. You should add "needs to be a mind reader" in your job post.

Just a thought - notamindreadereither

They might have QA check their tests who are used to their normal way of checking reports ... and forgot that people testing would have no way of knowing about the blurb.

I would contact the company about it just in case it was just a silly oversight on their part.

At least you got templates. sm - medtrans

I got a few voice files for some of the companies I tested for and no templates. When I asked for templates and instructions, sometimes they quit responding to my emails and calls or they said that those were confidential because they have personal info on them. They could remove the information and put "Patient Name", "Chart Number", etc. I'm pretty sure I could have figured it out a little better with some kind of guidelines. It was on the ChartNet program and ended up that everything was supposed to be transcribed in paragraph form with no headings unless dictated. I'm with you. I think it was a blessing in disguise. Who really wants to work for a company that doesn't care enough to assist someone in understanding what they want.

templated accounts - me

[ In Reply To ..]
Well, I explained in great detail on the phone and send instructions on how do do templated work on my accounts, and the transcriptionist I had routed these to did not follow one single instruction. Not one. So now I have about 40 reports just today alone I have to transcribe myself because I cannot route them out. Why would a transcriptionist remove the templated text of several lines and type "Normal." Makes no sense. Or if the patient had a cholecystectomy, why is "No gallbladder disease" still there in the template.

I wonder if those of us who have a higher PTO hourly rate may be pushed to the side, as they screen thru those who get a lower rate.. Its always about the dollar, bottom line. Interesting that Tier 2's seem to be getting responses. Save the Tier 3 and lower hourly PTO rate for the trenches? ...

I hope this post quells some tempers and fears. Obviously there are a lot of audits going on. I got the call and my CCM said "just wanted to let you know that you are going great.

Why does an employer, who let you go three times in three different type of work settings, yet call me back again to work for them? It is like they had a layoff a year ago with all this BS in mind. They have to know that I would hate to go back there with all this wishy-washy stuff; it is almost like they did it on purpose so that it would be a year and they could see if they could get something for nothing. I am having enough trouble trying to get out of this insane "career" without this type o ...

I was reading the posts from below, so if anyone is interested, that is the name given to it by the people who distribute it.

Now I have the responsibility of disposing of it into the garbage because trash it really is. If it was serviceable (well, some of you have found uses ...

If you want to work as an employee, try Patient First in VA. They pay by the line, never run out of work, pay hourly wage if any unforeseen downtime, and type straight dictation. If you can type dictation non-verbatim, this might work for you. Check on CareerBuilder or Monster jobs. I was not able to type non-verbatim, just against my ethics. ...
