Accuracy requirement - old and burned out
Posted: Mar 09, 2013
Very shortly our accuracy requirement will be 99.6%. Since this company cares nothing about accuracy, my conclusion is two-fold: 1) As they always have, they are going to use this as a marketing tool. 2) Anyone who falls below 99.6% will have their pay docked thus reducing the company's labor costs even further and will probably result in administrative bonuses. For new employees - welcome to MM. For everyone else - get out if you can.
Accuracy requirement - cr
[ In Reply To ..]Or, anyone who falls below 99.6% will be terminated and an IC hired in their place, which should be cheaper for them since they won't even have to pay minimum wage, just whatever lousy lines that person can make.
I don't think MM hires ICs do they? I am going to ask (sm) - broke
[ In Reply To ..]some attorney friends of mine and also call the labor board and find out if docking out pay is even legal. We could fall below that for a preference of a particular QA if you think about it. We are human and not perfect. They put erasers on pencils for a reason. This company will never cease to amaze me. I still can't believe I'm back here. I worked so hard getting away and now here I am again.
Please let us know what you find out about docking pay. - sox
[ In Reply To ..]It just seems very wrong......and illegal
My thought is that if I was not hired - knowing that my accuracy
[ In Reply To ..]rate would have to be 100% (they'll have to raise it up to this sooner or later), I have every right to claim UE if I am terminated or docked since I was hired under false pretenses. I have already "failed" one audit (98.910% or some such nonsense) and just ignored it. If they don't like it, they can kiss my fat ___ as I head for the UE office.

Just Under 99% Accuracy
Oct 24, 2012
I've made lots of 100% accuracy scores, but I just saw that I made a 3.0 Critical error on a VR dictation at Nuance. It was where the doctor said a medication amt that sounded very much like another amount. I have been extremely careful with the medication amounts and the laboratory values, but made this mistake!! Anyway, that brought my accuracy to just under 99%. I want to go back and listen to that dictation again, bet it was hard to tell the difference in t ...

99% Accuracy
Sep 04, 2013
With Nuance's high standards and QA picking apart every report, I am feeling pretty down on myself. I question my ability to do my job. I question every comma, every word, and dread waking up to this job for fear of making mistakes. It isn't a good feeling. I have been in this field since 1992 and have never felt so incompetent and stupid. ...
99.7% Accuracy
Mar 29, 2014
99.7% accuracy when told to a recent business school graduate. Sure 99.7% accuracy is what they strive for in production of goods in a factory..To try for 99.7% accuracy in a job that has as many variables as transcription is a completely unrealistic goal. Speech patterns alone of different people makes errors almost inevitable. What they are striving for is an impossible goal. Hum, wonder who is running the company because this is from a 22 year old ...

MM Accuracy
Feb 27, 2015
We've all seen the blogs lately. Failing audits for not putting a comma, getting marked off for adding or deleting a word to make the sentence make better sense, not following CP and so forth. Here's something for MM to ponder (if they were actually reading all this). If accuracy truly means something to you, and that is one of your "selling points" to your clients (their website boasts "industry leading accuracy rate"), then why don't you give your MTs a chance ...

Accuracy Rate Of 99%. Does Anyone Know...
Jun 16, 2011
if the 99% accuracy rate also applies to the ILP? After all, CBay and Medquist have become one company called Medquist (something, it has changed too many times for me to remember), but I would think if it is company policy it should apply to all. Most of us have an average of 99% or above accuracy rate, but I still have a problem with making it the standard rating. Especially given the consistent inaccuracy or ASR and the increase of lines per hour for many MTs. If this ...

New MT, Accuracy Is Not Improving
May 27, 2013
I started at Nuance about a month ago. I am a new MT, graduated from CareerStep with Honors at 94%. I've been transcribing for 2.5 weeks now. I have quite a bit of anxiety because my QC scores are not improving, sometimes even getting worse. I seem to have troubles with numbers in particular. I will listen through labs or vital signs again and again and I am sure that I am hearing 116, not 160. I am just beginning to feel hopeless, like I am not good enough. A goal of 99% seems so far when ...

FlashCount Accuracy

I downloaded FlashCount and love the ease of use. However, it gives a count which is slightly higher than when I manually do it in Word by dividing characters with spaces by 65. Is there a way to adjust the settings in FlashCount so it will give me the same count. I wonder if it is counting things like bold, etc. Or, is there another counting program that will count batches of files and do it accurately? It need not be freeware. I will pay for it. Years ...

Question About Determining Accuracy...
Jun 15, 2010
Hey y'all, Just wondering how you determine your accuracy on the job? I mean, is it that you are 98-100% accurate the first time you transcribe something or do you send your transcripts back and forth to an editing department and the final product determines your accuracy? I'm just trying to figure out exactly how everything in the MT biz works before I take the plunge in the next few months after I graduate. Any insight is greatly appreciated. ...
Has The Fat Lady Sung? 95% Accuracy.

I had a conversation with my personal physician today. He was using a laptop throughout the course of my exam. I questioned him as to whether this was EMR. He stated that it was. His entire practice has converted to EMR in conjunction with front-end speech recognition. This is the part that knocked me off of my feet--he stated that the physicians in the practice consistently get 95% accuracy in the drafts that present on the screen for them to edit. Note: They are editing the ...

Accuracy Requirements Of Nuance
Dec 01, 2013
A friend of mine works at Nuance (formerly worked at Transcend, but of course Nuance is gobbling up every MTSO) and said they require 99% accuracy. And rather than an average, they run the accuracy on every single report so that even though, for example, 5 reports may be 100% accurate, if one is 98%, you're screwed. Since when did the industry standard go from 98% to 99%? Plus apparently you are marked down for blanks no matter what. Whenever I have worked in a "real" healthcare organizatio ...

Complaint About Doctors And Accuracy

I wrote them back and asked if I could give my SS# after I took a test, but have received no reply. I've put in several applic ...
