Any other SHDAs notice decreased ILP QA? - sm


Posted: Aug 23, 2014

Since the transition, I have not gotten nearly as much ILP QA as I used to.  Not much in the way of US MTs either, but I expect that with their blank contest.  I have a feeling they have made ILP work only QA'd by ILPs now without the extra step through US QA.  If that is the case, there is going to be a lot more garbage reports going to the hospitals, especially considering ILP QA barely even look at reports before sending them on.

And,,,who will get blamed for the garbage? - sm

the US transcriptionists.. I have to wonder how many of the docs actually realize that this stuff is being shipped out of this country.

The initials on the garbage will get blamed, not the US MTs. - And yes, they know, They pay less to SM

ship it OS, and that is what they are concerned with, the bottom line. They know, and they like the lower rates.

First Time Right - CPL Being Decreased If The QA Submission Rate Is Too High
Mar 07, 2010

I've had time to think about this whole First Time Right plan.   I've seen a lot in my 32 yrs in the business and in my humble opinion, I think it will be okay except for the part about CPL being decreased if the QA submission rate is too high.  There must be an alternative other than taking away hard earned pay.  Anyone else agree? ...
