that the guy who is in charge of the mail system is going to be put in charge of something else. Like the transcription platform. Know what I mean?
Another is inviting us to email her/him as well with specific information. They advise to first set up an anonymous email account. They are contacting lawyers and Erin B. There are 2 separate threads on the M*Modal tab. They want help from every MT out there. ...
I thought they were 2 different services. Everyone is buying out everyone, so who knows. All the small companies have been merged I guess. I thought Nuance was out of New York and were the primary with VR. Maybe one has to keep up with the changes and be a member and pay the dues and go to the meetings with AAMT and be a CMT to keep up with the changes, even though you still get 4 cents. ...
I try to get to page 2 and it just spins and spins for an hour and nothing. I cannot even get back to the main page. I have to log out and get back in again. I end up missing a bunch of email because I cannot get into other pages. ...
I am sure these are closely guarded as they would let MTs actually communicate with each other..and that would be a no no.. MTs might actually band together ...
Found this in the Letters to Editor in AdvanceWeb.com. :
I feel compelled to voice my thoughts on the topic of credentialed MTs; the reason being I work with a fantastic group of MTs under my management.
We work at a community hospital in a centralized setting; all departments dictate their patient records and we transcribe them. They are highly skilled, productive and accurate and simply the best staff to manage.
Here are my thoughts.
* Are Credentialed MTs better? If t ...
Good Morning MQ-ville.
I was reading a posting below, started yesterday "Whadayaknow" and there were a couple of responses to the posting that I think are worth you reading.
We should all be much more PROACTIVE in the auditing process and ask questions or if we disagree, tell them we do! We should also not take BS sitting down! I agree that too many of us have just accepted being fed crap because we've begun to feel "beaten down".
I also am 'MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO ...

Oh my gosh! Open this article and read what is down below at the VERY BOTTOM LEFT OF THIS ARTICLE! Somebody by the name of Kumar is asking a question about night shifts and the associated illegal activities that comes out of it. Some of us are called the Y generation!

in the MT Stars archives a post entitled "MT's and Unions, and past mistakes:". This was posted on 11/23/10.
I am contacting various union representatives, among other things. The most important thing is to get the word out as much as we can about the unfair policies on MT's by various companies. I know it can seem futile, but I think if enough of us communicate long enough, someone has to listen. Thanks. ...
The older I get, the less able I am to tolerate these mush-mouthed, lip smacking, gum chewing, burping, toilet flushing dictators. And those are the good ones that I've had lately which should give you any idea of how the rest of them are. I so wish I could quit this lousy business altogether, but right now that's just not possible.
I will now get off the soap box and let someone else have their turn. ...
I just found out that a mail clerk, working in a mail room at a local company, earned more $$$ than I did last year! QC with 30+ years' experience! My God. Nuance is killing me! Cannot wait to say Goodbye :( ...
This particular board, the New MTs board, is devoted to assisting the newcomers to this profession. It is here as a help, an assistance, a way to advise and mentor newbies. It is NOT a place to slam, discourage, handslap or pick fights between newbies and experienced MTs.
We are not going to have an ongoing war or scuffles between the experienced MTs and the newbies or vice versa in regard to who should or should not be in this industry, who does a better job, who knows more, ...
The HITECH Act: Will You Be Fine, or Fined?
FRANKLY, OUR GOVERNMENT SUCKS BIG TIME! I AM STILL USING A WORK COMPUTER, IS THAT GOOD OR NOT???
Under the new Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act) that takes effect this upcoming February, you as a transcriptionist could now be directly liable for any private health information (PHI) that is stolen or somehow reaches the public domain. That could include any transcriptions you produce that are emailed ...

Transcription Technology Wars — Navigating the ASP/ASR/ARRA BattlefieldBy Dale Kivi, MBAFor The RecordVol. 21 No. 22 P. 10
Choose an ill-fitting business model and healthcare providers may become economic casualties, according to an industry insider.
Why have new equipment sales by previously dominant transcription technology leaders such as Dictaphone and Lanier all but faded off the face of the planet in favor of thin-client application service provider (ASP) and aut ...
Just spoke to someone I know in TAA/Unemployement office. FIRST TIME RIGHT is a gray area. We can fight this because it is a gray area.
It is not right that if a doctor dictates and we cannot understand what they are saying for sure and we can get docked in pay, literally take money from us. IT IS NOT LEGAL.
That is probably why the big bosses are on this board to see what they can get away with. We have every right to fight them. It is just wrong!

Let me introduce myself. I am a full time MT with 25 years experience in this business, averaging typing 2000 lines per day, audit scores 98% and above, who willingly works OT when requested, and I have never taken a sick day. I consider my job a serious employment commitment. I am the bread-winner in my family. I don't say this to indicate I make the most money. This means I PAY THE BILLS. You know, mortgage, car payments, insurance, light bill, food on the ta ...
This is my yearly ode to all of you during MT WEEK, and I want to again express my humble opinion. For just a few minutes, please put aside your depression and anger at your profession and just take a deep breath and listen to what I have to say.
I am truly awed by what you all do. What other profession would you have to be a medical terminology specialist, pharmacology specialist, English language expert, AND a computer/software expert all in one? There is no other pr ...
