Corporate letter --- QA markers QUESTION - whatever

Posted: Mar 02, 2010

HELP PLEASE. The way I read the letter a QA marker will no longer automically route a report to QA, that we must request that it go to QA. So how do we do that? I'm stopped on a report with a marker because of no ADT feed. Thanks in advance.

For now I think you just do as you normally do. - Just sent as you normally would send.

This doesn't go into effect yet, I don't think.

tomorrow it goes into effect to check the box - dying

If we have to leave a QA marker, why wouldn't we send it to QA?? If we have a marker and don't check the box, what happens?

If you put a QA marker and don't check the box, it will go to the client with the QA marker to alert them that there is a problem (a word that could not be understood, a discrepancy . . .) If there is a word or phrase that is fairly clear but you're not familiar with and can't locate (like the brand name of a trocar) you check the box and let someone in QA listen. They may have heard of it before and can fill it in and send it on to the client.

The purpose is to not let those reports with QA markers in them that no one else would be able to hear or fix either (a discrepancy in the report that the dictator needs to correct, the dictator sneezes while saying a medication . . .) sit in QA and become out of TAT.

I'm not sure I agree with the whole thing but I do know that I waste an awful lot of time having to check my QA submissions when I knew the were not going to be filled in.

I have to admit that I think it's only fair that they consider raises if our submission is less than the average. A lot of people are missing that part. The word "raise" has never been mentioned as long as I have been with MQ. At least they seem to have acknowledged that the word does exist.

A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks, appreciate the help ...

I'm fairly new to MQ and learning the skip marker thing. Could someone please tell me, are we suppose to remove the markers that say <non-s>? I've had so many reports that are FILLED with these markers. Or, are they suppose to stay in? I'd appreciate input/answers. Thank you, Happy. ...

I got a call from MQ regarding the amount of <skip> markers in my ASR reports. I was told that there shouldn't be more than 3 to 5 skip markers in any given report??? This sounded absolutely ABSURD to me and I told them to give a listen to some of the reports I edit and explain to me how exactly I am suppose to accomplish that! Has anyone been told that or something similar? It doesn't seem to me that the "ASR machine" will learn if we simply do correctio ...

I was wondering why in the new 6.1 version, it takes more words to get an automatic S marker inserter (highlighting words then using the delete button). I used to have to count the words and if 5 or more, used to place the S marker. I wonder why now the difference. Do you think the Q keeps track of how many S markers are generally given in our documents as their ASR system is developed, and now wants to give themselves another pat on the back, exclaiming how their stellar ASR s ...

Since the new upgrade 3 days ago, the ASR reports are showing continuously these red non-s markers.... Annoying. And I don't hear in the report any lapses of time. I thought this was supposed to be something that was manually put in, so my guessing is Yes, we are editing ILP work!!!! Oh well, I am just ecstatic I now have high speed internet and now no longer at the mercy of dial up on top of NJA and other problems. I actually do li ...

My first report of the day was an ESL (typical for a Sunday when that's all I get). I had QA markers, but when I went to send the document, the QA box was already checked and I couldn't uncheck it. I didn't think another set of ears would have heard what I couldn't. Obviously this report went on to QA as I was given no choice. Aren't we supposed to have a choice to check that box starting today? ...

I had a few extremely difficult ESL dictations tonight and reluctantly sent them to QA, only to get them back with some of my QA markers listened to, and others left in the report. I thought they had to listen to ALL of the QA markers and either correct them or blank them? I thought we weren't supposed to send reports with QA markers in to the hospitals? Is this just the MME not doing their job, or something else? By the way, 99% of my QA markers were turned into blanks b ...

When a doctor uses markers at the beginning of each patient's dication in a recording, how can I access those in Express Scribe when listening to it? I have e-mailed the company twice, and the first reply was totally unrelated to my question. There was no reply to the second query. I am currently using the free dl version of ExpressScribe but would glady upgrade to the $30 version if I was sure I could access the markers. Thanks for any help! ...

Okay so I am going round and round with this. I understand that MQ will be using weekly figures to determine the submission rate. I understand how the submission rate is calculated but what I cannot figure out is how they determine what lines to pay the reduced amount on. My super's comment was that you will be paid the rate on everything after the 10% (3-14 - 5-1) or 5% (after 5-1) that is sent to QA. So, maybe one of you posters out there, who is not visual ...

To all those who won a prize last week for MT week, congratulations. Now for corporate, if you can afford to hand out trips, flat screen TVs, and other prizes, why can't you give us a COL increase?

A prime example of that is when I work every holiday for time and 1/2, but low and behold, there is mysteriously no work in the system. Because they press a button and send it all overseas for some poor sap to do for 5 cents a day, instead of paying me time and 1/2. There is no appreciation for the MT and our expertise anymore.
