Article on Bosses from Yahoo this morning

Totally made me LOL this morning, especially the "You get to decide your own hours" line. I cut and pasted this section of the article but the full report can be found here: http://education.yahoo.net/articles/flexible_careers_that_pay.htm?wid=1 Career #4 - Medical Transcriptionist Medical transcriptionists listen to and transcribe dictated recordings made by doctors and other health care professionals. As a medical transcriptionist, you would need to understand medical terminol ...

Check out this article on outsourcing and the newly passed healthcare bill. This article talks about how the massive job increases are pretty much going to go go India and not stay here in the U.S. http://news.yahoo.com/s/csm/20100325/wl_csm/290215 ...

You expect me to be 99.6% correct. Yet, I can go into the repository and see where your examples are wrong (spelling incorrect, two words when should be one, and formatting) and contradict what another report has. NOW do you SEE, why I screw up? You cannot logically ask for perfection, when your OWN QA people are wrong. In order to make people better at their job, you don't confuse them..AND YES, HIPAA or not,I have the examples saved...Because now that I am on PM, when you fire me (wis ...

Below is the link to a TIME Magazine article, which details new laws being put into place to finally crack down on bullying bosses, criminalizing their abusive treatment toward employees. It's about time! The article could very well have been aimed at any number of MTSO's who have screamed, swore, berated, threatened, and even physically abused us. During the past seven years of an "employer's market" economy, bullying employers have gott ...

No one "leads" anymore, they just direct traffic. I can remember when the "leaders" used to help their employees so they could get a better line count, get through the hard dictators, or just do whatever was in their power to be encouraging. Now it seems they just use their positions to grab the good jobs that have good dictators or normal dictations like the ops, collect their pay and act like you are a total burden if you need help. I can assure you it is not encouragin ...

I am not sure if tihis is the right place to post this, but I used to ask questions there all the time. Now just recently I went on there and could not believe all the profanity and inappropriate subjects they let people post there. It is really awful and I am shocked to see some things that are passed up for censoring. People call each other jerks and bigoted racists all the time. I am wondering where are their moderators and why is no one doing anything to stop thi ...

Suddenly now I have to sign in every time all day long on My Yahoo, even though the box is checked to keep me signed in for two weeks. Anyone know how to fix this? It's a PIA to keep signing in over & over. No reply from Yahoo when I wrote them (surprise, suprise!) ...

This is an interesting article about using medical scribes to do transcription. It is a way for doctors to create electronic medical records and not have to enter information into computers themselves. http://articles.latimes.com/2010/sep/06/health/la-he-medical-scribes-20100906 ...

I don't work for Nuance or the other 3 MTSOs listed, but I found this article clear and with devastating details about the exact cost of what happens to the local economy when employers opt to switch to the offshoring companies: http://www.abc4.com/content/news/slc/story/University-of-Utah-Hospital-sending-local-jobs/ApYQbQl0d0OqwCx2vzmjlQ.cspx or search "University of Utah Hospital sending local jobs overseas" "Hundreds of people just like Rachelle are losing their jobs at medical tra ...

I just brought in my mail and there was the March 28 issue of "For the Record", a magazine that was part of my AHDI membership benefits. I don't know why they're still sending it to me because my AHDI membership ran out, but I the cover story of this issue is "The MT Credentialing Debate: What do Medical Transcriptionists Gain by Adding RMT or CMT to Their Resumes?" I haven't started reading it yet, but it should be interesting! ...

http://ahdilounge.blogspot.com/2011/08/medquists-new-ceo-re-branding-on.html They seem pretty happy about having 28 sites in India and want to keep offshoring more of their work. I really wonder how many Americans, if properly educated about the whole thing, would really want their medical history sent overseas. I know clinics/hospitals don't care. They are using MQ and other services that offshore because they want to save a buck on services. Yeah I know, s ...

Here’s an article by For the Record magazine that is worth reading. Sometimes, their articles are a lot of fluff, AHDI stressing we need them, or words just filling a page, but this one affirms what we have all known for a very long time. http://www.fortherecordmag.com/archives/091012p22.shtml Interesting what is written about the Transcend lawsuit too. What can we do? At the end of the article, it mentions “MTs need to work with their employers to develop a fair compensat ...
