spending more time fixing demographics than transcribing

I have an account where the doctors never enter demographics. I'm spending 5 minutes on each report filling in demographics and cc's from doctors who only slur a last name. Many partial doctor names need to be Googled. If I do about 36 reports a day at 5 minutes each with demographic research then I'm spending 3 hours of my shift working for nothing! How is it for the rest of you? ...

Why can't we do the test once (they seem to all be about the same) and have it posted somewhere centrally for these potential employers? If you can't get footpedal to work with the transcription section it is a real time consumer and PITA. ...

waiting for work, trying to figure out the protocol for no work, trying to figure out remedy, remembering all the different passwords, wondering if my time card is correct because I clock in and out so much on a daily basis! I have never, ever been no nitpicked to death. I feel like an unpaid prisoner in my own home. My printer right now is just about smokin because of all the crap I have to print just to remember all this garbage! MM = MICROMANAGEMENT!!!!! I do bel ...

Well their new update has sure messed up ASR. I am fixing every other word. UGH! HATE THIS! ...

I clocked out later than my regular time because I lost internet. How do you fix time on time sheet? I appreciate any help. Thank you. ...

I am so TIRED of fixing doctors mistakes constantly. I dont get paid for that. I get paid to pound out reports per hour. Instead so far today, my first 3 hours have been fixing reports, leaving notes to the hospital....line 10 blank..dr stated..., line 24 blank..dr stated, etc. These guys have to take some responsibility for their dictation. They are so messy and haphazard in their dictations. It would be different if we were getting paid by the hour, I would not ha ...

Exactly - Agreed Posted: Oct 2nd, 2012 - 10:39 pm In Reply to: FYI - Anonymousno one inhouse or outhouse pays for filling in demographics and it is quite plainly wrong when paid on a production basis - at least in America. We are not indentured servants but are heading there - if not already there - by working without being paid for all characters transcribed including demographics. The MTSOs just don't want to expend the money or effort to adjust the technology to count everything they ha ...

Why are we getting multiple e-mails about spending extra time on them because HIPAA is so important these days? ...

It must be just me. My CTL just informed me that she wasn't aware that our e-mail was so slow. It takes me almost 10 minutes just to read my first e-mail of the day. She wants us to check our e-mail three times daily. That would be 30 minutes of my own "free time." Personally, I prefer not to waste my transcription time as it counts against me when I do in my average hourly PTO which is fast dwindling to minimum wage (used to be $18/h). Now I read on this ...

Anyone else having this problem? ...

extra holiday pay you earned for working on Thanksgiving? Nuance is so generous, aren't they, to make you work and to compensate you so well for your time too? (insert sarcasm). Hope it wasn't too bad for you ladies (and gents). Let's hope they let you take off Christmas. ...

The pleasures of spending the past 4 months being micromanaged at TTS has resulted in my leaving for greener or shall I say different pastures. I actually am very glad I learned the eScription platform...it is a pleasure to use. My account with TTS was a real plumb ripe for the picking...sweet and fast...really didn't have much trouble making 350 lph editing; however, despite hitting this line count, I barely made more than $10 an hour. Well, this notwithstanding, I persisted working ...

Just so sick of the run-around by Nuance and the crappy speakers. Feel so trapped. ...

Today I get the paperwork from the HSA that we had the option to join for the new insurance. Included is a bunch of tasks they want us to hurry up and do (which we cannot do since they have not given us insurance cards and their website won't let us register without numbers off the card). Also included is an "account fee and rate schedule". They get to charge us $15 to set up the account and $2.95 every month thereafter. They say this "may" be paid by our employer (y ...

I am going to receive 2 DVDs from a client containing focus group videos. I use Express Scribe for my clients. I have never transcribed a DVD and am wondering if there is a way to use Express Scribe for this. Researched this and found no helpful info. Has anyone done this, or is there another free program that I can use for this? Thanks. Lynn ...

This might be considered controversial, but has any MT out there used a VR program to "transcribe" dictation instead of actually using a keyboard to transcribe? So I am not misunderstood, I'll be very literal here: As the MT, you listen to the dictation and instead of typing it out, you speak what you are hearing into a VR program on your computer to produce the "transcribed" report. I can't be the only one out here who has thought of this and the only reason I can co ...

I wouldn't put anything past them. It might even get worse when the QCs start receiving production pay. ...

I'm sorry, I need to blow off some steam and perhaps those who have their own accounts could shed some light. I have been an MT for a very long time and in the past, what an MT did was TRANSCRIBE. We didn't follow account specs or change sentences, etc. Why has the MT industry come to this and why do the MTSO owners agree to this? I don't mind at all fixing broken English, because I understand that process, but changing what a doctor says, because it's ...

Is there any way to find the QC ID# to see if they are transcribing on my account? Just wondering because there were apparently a large number of people transcribing on my acct in the last few hours yet when I come on to work there is no work. Just wondering. ...
