Any other MMEs get a sick pleasure from - marking up ILP reports
Posted: Aug 13, 2012
Although it does make me sad these are the people taking our jobs, and I don't get paid as much when I do it, it gives me a little hope (although false) when seeing how awful these reports are; when there are more corrections than not. Keep in mind I only put the really bad stuff under a marker and still end up with a few dozen errors.
Nope. I doubt they learn anything - from what I correct.
[ In Reply To ..]If anything, I just get really pi**ed off by the time I get to the 10th blank. No sick pleasure at all. I doubt they read any of my feedback at all, all I feel is anger.
I never leave feedback for them - They can figure out what they did wrong
[ In Reply To ..]I'll leave feedback for the US MTs so that they may know why it was marked and learn from it and be the best. As for the ILPs, no feedback, they can keep making the same mistakes and hopefully someone will take notice. Unfortunately, it'll probably be when a lawsuit comes along.
I dont bother. I doubt the actual typists see anything concerning - a job after they are done with it. sm
[ In Reply To ..]I think the supervisors disregard anything we correct on a job. Surely the ILPS never learned from their mistakes so I quit worrying about trying to teach them anything. I fix the mistakes (qasar, what's that? lol) and move on.
And the ILP Editing is a sad, sad joke. If I sent through what they - send through, my PC would explode. nm

ILP jobs go through 3, yes 3, levels of OS editing. It is the - editors we are correcting and I doubt they SM
[ In Reply To ..]ever see a job again once they send it on. Heck, they have us, the US MMEs, to make a facility ready document.
OK so do you guys ever mention the fact that they are no good - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I know when I originally trained ASR years and years ago..You could tell almost to the day they let them use it, it was screwed up in no time..Why doesnt the company see that? Or does the company get some kind of government incentive to ship our jobs over there??? gotta wonder.
First, MM is a private company. Gv'ment has no more to do - with it than if you owned it. And yes SM
[ In Reply To ..]I have told those above me, incountable times, how the ILPS suck, they are subhuman, they lie. I tell them ILPs are the human version of ASR - untrainable. I have told them I wont use qasar to make corrections because they cannot learn. Does it make any difference I tell this to everyone? Nope. Not one iota of difference. Except it makes me feel a teensy bit better.
Uhm private industry do get gvt subsidies as well - just saying
[ In Reply To ..]I feel you frustration,,I also feel like a lot of times, we are fixing their reports as well..just a gut feeling...you can kind of tell when a report has already been "fixed" and moved through..I tried to organize people years ago to stop the outsourcing and couldnt get enough help..to me sending any information about any citizen overseas is a violation of homeland security..I am very uncomfortable with my info out there. especially in the computer age with id theft on the rise...
Gvt subsidies help the business, not the gvt. And you can see for - yourself how many ILP editors got the SM
[ In Reply To ..]job before it got to you. Just go into Documanage and search for that job#. Then click go by the job audit window and it brings up the job history. You can see who had the job before you got it and how long they had it for. At my bought out MTSO, the OS had the job usually less than a minute. You can imagine how good an editing job was done on those jobs.
As far as your info going OS, your financial info and SS# is out there too. I have often said I would rather OS knew I had a runny nose rather than they have my financial info.
who would we mention that to exactly? - Drone
[ In Reply To ..]once in awhile I'll send an "abuse of flags" email to my QC but I can't exactly email her and say hey, these people don't know what they're doing.
Why cant you email her that? I email my qc and CMC that - msg all the time. Often include *I hate my job*. n
[ In Reply To ..]x
Btw, they always agree with me. - nm

Y dont we send the indian ESL docs over there - maybe they can understand them
[ In Reply To ..]just an idea...

MMEs
Nov 22, 2009
So a girl I worked with at a local hospital here now works for MQ, and I found out she is an MME, so I ask her, what exactly is an MME, she says she gets what we send to QA, corrects it, and types. So....basically they are just QA people? But, don't QA people type too? I just don't understand this MME position. Any MMEs here that can tell me what an MME is (and I know it stands for Master Medical Editor, for the smarties)? ...

Just got a request to test for the MME position. I'm tier 3, 99% accuracy, and I've been here for 7 years, but I didn't take the test when they first offered it because I knew that my pay would take a nosedive. I have a feeling they will be getting rid of all the regular MT/MEs shortly and keep only MMEs on board, but if the pay is actually worse, then it may be better to be given the boot. I was told by CCM that it is mostly transcription work and not so mu ...

I've been getting a lot of reports from the ILP with "full review" or something similar in the QA note, but the report itself is not flagged for 100% proof. After a couple weeks of doing full review at less pay, I've decided to just delete their request and fill in the blanks. I figure if they want their reports fully reviewed, they can request their manager to put them back on 100% because I'm a bit fed up with wasting my time and money on making these ILPs look prett ...

MMEs Scare Me Sometimes
Feb 03, 2010
What's with checking the whole report when there's 1 flag in it? Sometimes I'll leave 1 or 2 flags in a long report, and when I check my feedback I'll have 3 or 4 minor feedback, really little things that definitely do not impact the meaning of the report. Scares me, feels like I'm being picked on. Sometimes it's hard not to turn into a raging paranoiac around here. I HATE leaving flags. ...

Are any other MMEs out there coming across Indian MTs who conveniently leave out portions of dictation, because they don't understand it?

Whether to repot to QC or just leave feedback (which is probably not checked anyway) and move on. ...

Dear MMEs
Aug 12, 2013
This is to those nitpicky comma MMEs, so if you aren't one of the offenders, you can ignore this. Seriously, leaving a feedback marker for every single comma that should or should not be there in your opinion is wasting everybody's time and is making MT/MEs fear sending any sort of blanks and may make some of them guess for those accounts where blanks are sent automatically, compromising patient care, just so it doesn't get sent to you. You really should take your QA t ...

First Time Right - MMEs Will Be Docked If Over 10%, Then 5% Later?

Really, there are a lot of times where something is just not interpretable, no sound, etc. That will be kind of nice that we don't have to send reports to QA for those types of things. That would be most of why I usually have to leave a QA marker. So really, when I think about it, it may not be as bad as everyone is thinking.

Question For MMEs About Their Position
Mar 19, 2012
I was just offered to take the test to be an MME today. I was wondering what that promotion entails in regards to pay. Do you really make more than you did before? From what I've heard and seen over the years, it doesn't seem like a real promotion. Plus, right now I'm straight typing and I'm desperately afraid of going back to ASR (the horror, the horror!) The last time I was with MQ was back when the MME position was still fairly new and I don't ...
