we're "document control specialists" now? - wondering


Posted: Sep 01, 2010

Encompass is calling us document control specialists now. I'm still trying to get used to "medical language specialist."

Okay, I actually find that quite interesting given - Poppy

the talk of different functions we MIGHT perform in future. As SR takes over some of our function, your title definitely suggests replacements.

In any case, I'd be happy to move on to that over the groping-for-something "Medical Language Specialist," a title I basically keep secret.

that's a hoot - rank and file

"Document control" is what the medical records department does.

We MTs have no control over what happens to our documents once they are produced.

It's a foolish title devised by foolish people who do not understand the function or scope of our job.

Life After Nuance, And PLEASE Remember DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, COVER YOUR A$$
Jun 20, 2014

Other than the stress from worrying about money,I can not believe how good it feels to have the giant elephant of stress off of my back. I just had an interview with the people from unemployment. Of course, I think Nuance is trying to fight me getting anything. Thank God my husband was very supportive and saw how Nuance and FIESA were eating me from the inside out! I have been filling out applications and have been on only one interview so far. PLEASE, PLEASE, Don't be foolish like m ...

QC Out Of Control
Jun 12, 2013

It looks like I'm not alone judging by the posts I just read but have to vent anyway. Anyone else think QC is out of control? The minor things they are editing for defeats the whole purpose of having eScription. There are dictators I've done for years that I used to breeze right thru and now I find myself micromanaging every chart, to make sure every pause has a comma or period. All this is just slowing me down and then the clients wonder why their account is so far behind? I can' ...

Pain Control With ?CAD Infusion
May 18, 2010

This is a note on a patient with lymphoma.  "...pain is being controlled with cad infusion, with basal rate of 1 mg/hour".  Dictator pronounces "cad" (not individual letters c-a-d).  Am aware of chemotherapy combos (i.e, cyclophosphamide, Adriamycin, dacarbazine, and cytosine, arabinoside, daunorubicin) but am wondering if they would be used for pain control.  Also, earlier in the report, the dictator makes it sound as if chemo has been d/c'd.  In the back of my ...


USB Hand Control/SUM Program HELP!!
Jun 05, 2010

 I am in college right now for transcription, and am just getting in to using the SUM program... I start summer semester on Monday and am disabled with no use of my legs, I use the Phillips USB hand control in place of a foot pedal. Well SUM doesn't work with it... I tried downloading the audio files to my computer and then importing them in to Express Scribe, which DOES work with my hand control, and I guess the permissions on the files won't allow ES to open the files. Is there A ...

Nuance Trying To Do Damage Control

My friend works for a hospital who is being taken over by Nuance.  They have the option to work for Nuance and had a meeting yesterday with several of the "higher-ups" from Nuance there.  Along with the blatant lies about how they'll make so much more money than they're making now, this board was specifically mentioned in an attempt to do some damage control.  They were told not to believe what they read on this board, disgruntled employees, BLAH BLAH BLAH.  The fun ...

Do QA Percentages Include The Stuff That Is Out Of Our Control?
Jan 21, 2013

I'm an ex-Transcender and when I was approving my time sheet this morning I noticed that my time sheet said my percentage sent to QA was 20.2%.  I have NOT sent this many reports to QA as blanks, but have sent a lot of stuff due to discrepancies, no demographics match, no dictation, etc.  Are they seriously counting stuff that we have NO control over against us for purposes of denying bonuses?  I asked my TSM if that would be the case after we got news of the new pay cuts and ...

I am also looking into an app to download as I don't have room for a set of speakers up on my work area to plug headset into.   I am going to research more on this with  l ...
