Another example of SR cannot learn.In PE,Dr ALWAYS - dictates abdomen then lower extremities. Sm


Posted: May 03, 2013

VP always sticks "lower" onto the abdomen exam. Have to delete it from abdomen and add it to the PE subheading "Lower Extremities."  There is no other way to edit it, everybody has to edit it this way.  But SR keeps getting it wrong.  We all need to have a couple of these examples ready for when Phil the IT guy says it is US editing wrong that causes the program not to learn.  Or if you abbreviation says it is everyone with different editing styles causing the VR fiasco.

Here is the proof. - sm

You can pull up completed documents by that dictator, and you will likely see that your fellow MTs have been correcting this correctly for eons. That is what I did and I let them know that too. IT said, well, if it continues to happen, contact your TSM. Of course I did and there has been no response just as I expected. Before 7 and before IT was transplanted OS, they, well, at least one, IT would just manually change it into the system.

They always shift the blame onto the MTs, BUT WE ARE DOING OUR JOB RIGHT as evidenced by the fact that I can look at many many reports done by my fellow MTs and see that every document was properly corrected, and this has been done for YEARS. Either they have messed up the program and they can't manually changed it, they don't know how or they are just plain too lazy.

Why waste the time and money - sm

on an expensive smart IT group when they can pay us garbage and have it fixed that way..Bottom line, money..Last company I worked for was small, but had the smartest IT guy I have ever run across, he could fix anything. An expensive investment, that does pay off in the end. But that makes sense so it isn't gonna happen.

Need To Learn New Accounts Or Learn DEP
May 26, 2011

Just got an e-mail today that we have to learn new accounts with new account specifics, in addition to working on our present account. They are sending our present account to India, but still keeping some of it. I don't know which would be easier - volunteering for a new account or learning DEP. I was told that if we start to type on DEP, they will have to send us a new computer with new programs, because we can't have Cornerstone and DEP on the same computer (probably).  I did a ...

Dec 08, 2009

It's almost 2 months now on Escript and I'm still straight transcribing more than VR. I can see a lot of ready for editing reports but I hardly get any, and not getting my lines either. Some days, I only get 2 short VR reports. I'm in a really foul mood lately because of it. I'm still averaging a combination of 800 lines a day, rarely more, usually less, and I refuse to work over my shift until I get the necessary daily lines. It's bad enough I wind up working ...

Once in a while I come back here and read the posts and am reminded of how much I despise this corrupt, ruthless, cutthroat company. They have NO IDEA how to manage money or to treat their employees. The higher-ups still get paid top dollar while everyone else keeps getting pay cuts. They thought they could pay us as little as possible and expect near perfect work but karma is a bi...... as they say. I can't believe what is going on and I feel so bad for all the wonderful MT/MEs, especially ...
