Another report telling me how unproductive I am at ASR - Duh

Posted: Oct 14, 2011

And how I need to do more, more, more. You're welcome MedQ (not)

I got one of those too - MQer

Tried to find my last one so I could compare, but evidently threw it away which I'll do with the new one also. All they want, more work, less pay.

Not quite sure why we all just dont - sm

Send it right back to them saying "EXACTLY.... YOUR ASR IS SO UNPRODUCTIVE, IT NEVER LEARNS AS YOU ALL SAY IT WILL, AND IT TAKES TWICE AS LONG TO DO A REPORT THAN TO JUST STRAIGHT TYPE IT! SO TAKE THIS GARBAGE OUT WHERE IT BELONGS!"

send it back - verla

Amen to that.

Can I just ask what the - heck is this for?

[ In Reply To ..]
I mean, seriously! What can I compare my count to? What can I compare my mouse clicks to? Who the heck cares if I use my mouse as long as I am getting their required lines in and at the required accuracy?

I would love to know what the pay the person to sit and do this crap all day. Bunch of flippin geniuses at this place, hey?

I think before they cut our pay any more, they 'otta get rid of the useless jobs, like this and the poor fool calling everyone who has quit to ask why.

what the heck is this for - verla

Double and triple AMEN to that!!

I don't work for MedQuist, however - nina

I do work on the eScription voice recognition. Several of us find it easier to just type the reports than to sort through all the VR crap. So, our supervisor told us if we think we can type the report quicker, then delete the VR and type it. So, that's what we most of the time. You should give it a try, you might be surprised by your line counts. We used to get those productivity reports too, but we ignore them and just keep doing what we are doing.

Report measuring my productivity - BH

[ In Reply To ..]

I haven't gotten these reports for a while now. They measured quite a few things. They transferred me to 3 new accounts, and then asked if I was interested in a 4th. When I asked where it was, the CCM said I was assigned that account too now. I'm sorry I asked. Now after trying to get used to these doctors, and trying to get OLC help and nobody answering, then now I get a report rating me on productivity.

Stupid me!!! - Former MT

I used to get those reports too. Stupid me, I kept improving. As a reward my pay got cut twice cuz I was not in line with industry average. After my account went away mysteriously one morning I left 2 days later...

Please don't listen to those telling you that MT is in demand. Those are either schools. or recruiters who work for MTSOs. I suppose we could twist this to mean that MTs are still needed, but what they don't tell you is that the pay is horrendous these days. That being said, if one still chooses to do it, go in with your eyes WIDE OPEN and remember these posts...... ...

In FIESA I was corrected for, but didn't lose points for, leaving out the word "of" after the word "off," as I learned in transcription school that it is not correct to say "off of," you just need to say "off." Should I tell my TSM to mention this to the QA person or does no one care since I didn't lose any points? I have also seen blanks in reports that this QA person added to my reports for words that I know I typed correctly because I am very familiar with my accounts and have ...

Yesterday when I logged in to type in Emdat I could get a report started and then Emdat just shut down. I logged back in and it closed itself again without me telling it to. I was working fine Friday at the end of my shift. I don't understand what is going on with it this week. I can't call the Emdat help because I do not have long distance on my home phone. I emailed them but they didn't know how to help me. This is very frustrating. I CA ...

how many times I clicked the mouse while doing ASR last week and how many minutes I was idle in a document. Gee, could it be that I was looking up a word or checking on a previously dictated document in order to complete the document I was working on in order to produce a good report with no holes? If I want to click my mouse I'll click my mouse! Oh yes, the good news is the e-mail said that I could attend an online class so I can learn how to be more productive and use the "hot ...

obligations to them --WHAT ABOUT THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO US?!! I still see that "plenty of work TODAY" ad and it makes my blood boil. I have an email formulated regarding this subject with plans to send to my PM and possibly copy it to the VP of operations, although I am not sure it will do any good. At this point, though, it seems there is nothing left to lose. They need to address this issue and explain why they have no work for the current employees yet continue to ...

It used to be you could file a ticket regarding a word, format or phrase and IT would fix it. Now, all I get is an email stating that the speech engine will learn it from all the MTs' corrections. I even presented them with proof MTs were editing a particular item correctly, and I got the same email! With that particular email, I was told to contact my TSM if there was still that problem. ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...
