Can't take much more of this either. Lost an account in my region and getting all crappy work...line counts way down. Waiting to hear about that soon. Already on written quality performance management. Maybe soon.....would be a relief!
Compliance Coach BS - MT
[ In Reply To ..]
So they make a corporate decision and eliminate the BEST Performance Coach this company has ever had position but now they need compliance coaches? What a bunch of BS!

This company needs to wake up and realize the good in employees who worked their ASS off above and beyond for this company and for their team.

Compliance coach???

What the hell is an HDSM for????

Exactly - sm

Seems like if you could get one person to FULLY do their jobs, you could cut out all this extra crapola..All the while cutting the worker bees pay..bad business..

seems a little suspicious to me - anon

Especially since someone who did similar work for supervisor was let go earlier this month. Will have to wait and see what this is all about.

Maybe they're setting her up to be let go too, just like the last one. - sm

We've all seen too many times at this place, they'll create a new position, move people to it, then eliminate the entire position. Why they don't simply lay them off individually is beyond me. I would never move into a newly created mid-management position here...

Or maybe - somebody s cousin

Smacking Makes You Sound Like An Idiot

I have had it with these idiots who can barely dictate for making smacking noises.  That is right up there with burping/eating/peeing/chewing gum/driving/mumbling/groaning/ uhh, uhhh, uhhhh/playing with the dog/helping the kids with their homework while dictating.  If dictators were held to the same standards of dictation that we are held to as MTs, only a handful would still be dictating.  Let's cut THEIR pay when they are idiots and smack loudly after each word.  ...

I understand that things will stay status quo, until such a time as they don't.  I want to kno ...


New Quality Coach
Jun 09, 2010

Just got an email about getting a new quality coach.  This, of course, answers my question of why no emails for the past week from her.  I hope she didn't lose her job.  She was a really good coach, the best one I've had in the last 7 years, and wasn't one who corrected little things like punctuation in audits or things that made no difference in the report integrity.  She is one I will miss.  I only hope the new one is also with a strong QA ...

Most of us are typing for many, many different hospitals.  If you send out e-mails lumping all the hospitals together with helpful hints on what we are doing wrong and what we should be doing, where should we be filing these e-mails for future reference?  If we take too long to try to find the info in your e-mails, that gets counted against us in the Inactivity Graft that we have to stare at each day.  Unless you have a better suggestion, could you please simply split up ...


Schedule Compliance

So, our CCM sent out an e-mail that she has received a directive that if we are not working our exact schedule, we are going to receive an oral warning and then be performance managed. If there is no work, we have to put in a Q-Care ticket or we will be performance managed. Remember when we first were pitched the idea of working at home? One of the points was that we could be flexible in our schedule. Now we are just slave wages on an assembly line with no deviation in schedule. Just anot ...

This is the 3rd one since being put in this pod. I liked the last one because she was laid back, calm, answered the actual question you asked and actually gave useful nonshaming advice. The first PC I had in this group was hyperactive, never could seem to understand or answer the question asked, always had something to say about absolute correctness, and never let you get a word in edgewise if you tried talking to her on the phone. We'll see about this one. She sounds like she might be ...

MTSO/ICs - HIPPA Compliance Question
Oct 13, 2009

If you have your own personal business or contract with a doctor's office, not working for an established company, what kind of things do you have to do to be HIPPA compliant? Do they actually go and inspect and/or question your business practices? Does your work get questioned through the doctor's office? Does HIPPA give certifications and/or anything to tell a perspective client that you practice HIPPA compliance? Are there any other legal things that someone should worry about whe ...


Detailed HIPPA Compliance Protocol

Any suggestions on where to start for drawing up the HIPPA protocols, etc? ...

Advised To "reach Out" To My Performance Coach For Low Line Count.
Sep 04, 2014

I thought they got rid of that position. Our performance coach became our compliance coach. I NEVER had line count issues before I was transferred to this group. My line count soars when I get jobs outside my usual accounts. I actually get better counts when I am in the cesspool. I haven't had an audit in at least a month. Guess I should go back to editing for speed instead of quality until they go back to quality coaches. I should probably quit looking up doctors and location ...


Did Some TSMs Become "Compliance Program Directors?"

Just googled my former TSM ("former" because I got laid off in August) and on her Facebook page she is down as Compliance Program Director at MModal.  This was/is the North region.  To those of you so inclined......PLEASE spare me the "you don't have a life..." or whatever just because for a moment while on the computer I became curious and her name popped into my head.  I have a life, just fine.  Thanks. ...


What To Do When Dr. Makes You Gag
May 07, 2011

Everytime I do this doctor's transcription (ironically he is a pulmonologist) he snorts phlegm in the back of his nose right into the microphone and will even cough from it sometimes because he does it so hard. Tonight during an 11 min. dictation by him, halfway through I had to get up and run to the bathroom because I was gagging. He did it 5 times in the first 5 min. of the job.  I once reported a doc who uses voice recognition and apparently did her dictation on her lunch break WHIL ...

It confirms that we are truly at the bottom of the totem pole and that they just want results, not happy employees. ...

This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such.  This person is claiming essentially they ...
