Critical Care MT getting clinic notes?

I lost my primary accounts recently and was switched to an account where most of the jobs are really short clinic-type notes (less than a minute). This pay period, my paycheck will be over $200 less than it was when I had my primary accounts, and I'm barely making my minimum line counts. I've been doing this job for a long time and have always had really good line counts before. I've been feely really down in the dumps like maybe I've just kind of lost ...

Has anyone started to get more work in the last year (in a clinic setting)? It was steady for me a few years ago, and now I am overwhelmed with the amount of dictation I have!! Each of the doctors I work for are seeing wayyy too many patients in one day, thus more dictating, etc. Im putting in like 10-12 hour days now, whereas I used to only work 5 or 6. They are scheduling the patients all at the same time, making them wait in the waiting room for a couple hours, and ...

I applied to this ad and received an answer. I got some very vague instructions on how to type the voice file. Did anybody figure it out? It sure would be nice to just receive a voice file in the email, transcribe it and then send it back to their email address. ...

Are there any companies anymore who do not do progress notes, clinic notes and office notes? I want to get back to the basic 4, especially operative notes but they seem to be far and few between. Maybe it is just me but I cannot get a decent line count when I have to jump from one clinic specialty to another all day long. ...

The doctor says the patient is simvastatin 300 mg, metformin 1000 mg b.i.d., glimepiride 2 mg b.i.d., multivitamin, and calcium. The patient has myofascial neck and shoulder pain and is diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I have never heard of simvastatin given at 300 mg, but was wondering if maybe this is some sort of alternative use for fibromyalgia or whatever. Anyone? I reference the only other note that this patient has and it lists simvastatin 300 mg as well, but I'm ...

And get hired? Opportunites are limited with clinic work, which is all I have experience with, but nobody will give me a chance. Should I apply for acute care positions anyway? Anyone MTs who only did clinic work have any stories about breaking into it? ...

I have been doing clinic transcription for 8 years. I really want to learn Acute Care transcription. What is the best way to do that? Anyone know any companies that might give a chance to learn Acute Care? ...

I have been a clinic MT for 18 years. How can I advance to Acute Care? Can anyone explain to me how exactly Acute Care differs from clinic, other than the obvious such as types of notes (I already type H&P's and consultations with outpatient op notes). Thanks for any input. ...

I have always hated it when the doctor crams in every disease the patient has in the first line whether or not the list is relevant to the chief complaint. I can't think of anything more pointless than having a PA or resident dictate discharges when all he or she does is lift the consultants' impressions and plans and then plug in his or her standard "vital signs remained stable and the patient was discharged in stable condition." They just chant thru it, as fast as possib ...

I see they are hiring for an acute care and a clinic account. But they say you must have acute care experience. Does anyone know if this is true? I know I can ask the company, and I will, but I thought I would see if anyone here knew. ...

Hi, everyone, I wondered if you would be willing to offer your opinions on clinic transcription versus acute care transcription. Which do you prefer? What are the pros and cons of each? Which has better schedule arrangements/working hours? Anything you would like to offer is appreciated. Thanks! ...

Is anyone hiring for clinic work these days? I've only done clinic work for the 5 or 6 years of my career, and I can't get any company to hire me to do acute care. Any tips on getting hired to do acute care when you've only done clinic?. ...

The dictator said "... will get cardiac enzymes and will get a carotid Doppler in the morning...", or something similar, I have deleted the report. I left out the second will. This is not a verbatim account. Critical error for omitted dictation pertains to lab results, normal values, etc. I didn't think the word will meets that criteria. I also had Tylenol No. 3 changed to Tylenol #3. The drug lists still show it as No. 3. ...

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

Isn't it "strange" how it goes from NJA to "critical backlog" in nothing flat? SA5 here... Must be the weekend. Here's a laugh for you though: ASR report (of course) - social history: "he lives with his wife who is alive"... Good thing huh! LOL! ...

I have very rarely ever gotten critical feedback and today I have gotten like 7-8 reports returned to me. I find it so hard to believe that I am all of a sudden I am getting all this critical feedback. :( ...

Has anyone at the Q been getting hit by "critical errors" on crazy stuff that has never been an issue BEFORE? All of the sudden, after no feedback for about a month, no audits, nada, zilch, I got my audit and was given critical feedback for not capitilizing a department! (recovery room, radiology suite, cardiac cath lab...) AND, in a verbatim report, with a client profile that says specifically, DO NOT ADD A HEADING IF ONE IS NOT DICTATED, for NOT adding a heading! This makes me nuts ...

GD SOB! Have been passing all the audits with flying colors (99% or better), even the audit earlier this week. but then I got an email today of a report with critical errors. Real bad doctor who mumbles and changes his mind in midsentence but doesn't say 'scratch that' or 'correction' or anything like that. sheesh. so do they automatically put you on disciplinary action or cut your pay for one bad report? or do i hope that on my next ...

I'm supposed to provide feedback. Okay, fine, here it is: It was a typo. I sure learned a lot from your snarky auto message. Why do you have to keep making people feel bad for making a freaking typing error? Whoever is running the show at Nuance really needs to seek help. All you (they) can do is cut our wages and find fault with our work? It must be stupendously reassuring to be you and be so perfect. ...

Just had my first critical error ever! I'm so upset. BP number. I know I lose major points but am I in any sort of trouble, reprimand or anything like that? I know this job isn't the greatest but I so need it! Very worried. ...

We have been getting notes saying we have "critical backlog", when we usually get NJA. I'm wondering if we can start sending notes saying "critical pay check deficiency" when we get NJA. Since we are kept informed, maybe we should keep them informed also. ...

on a single report, would give me, to the right, a score of 96%??????????? The mistake? C-difficile instead of C. difficile. Mind you, they're all over the place auditing only the most awful reports i'm doing.. ...

So I check MQ Central as usual before starting my shift this morning. Found 4 messages stating critical backlog with weekend incentive. I sign on. No jobs. I'm tier 3. Never saw NO JOBS first thing on my regular Sunday shifts. WHAT THE ____? I read on to get a slap on the wrist from my RTL. Why didn't I send a report to QA that had multiple blanks. I tried to be objective, but it was for the usual reasons I send multiple-blank repor ...

Don't know what's going on, but I have had an abundance of my primary yesterday and today. Usually only very few reports and then being jumped around to different accounts during the day, with frequent periods of NJA. Now all the sudden we get an E-mail because we have a "critical backlog." Is India on strike or something? Actually, my account supposedly has a clause in that says they will not allow work to go to India. I don't get it. I'm ...

I received a notice of critical error that was in red and would not allow me to read the other feedback reports where I left blanks. Since we have been warned so much about critical errors and how much weight they have, I was afraid to open this report. The critical error was : Alert an oriented (but what I should have typed was "alert and oriented." I forgot the "d" on "and." I can think of so many other things that would have been a crtical error, like leaving out a di ...

So...I was just dinged for a critical error. Supposedly, I typed an incorrect medication. I specifically remembered this dictation and remembered the medication I typed, which was NOT the medication marked in the critical error. SO - I went into my statistics for the day, pulled up the detail for that particular job and there it was....the CORRECT medication. Somehow, the correct medication was taken out and the incorrect one was put back in. You better be ...

to mail some overdue bills and pulled out in front of a cop on the way home. I'm almost afraid to breathe the rest of the day. Is this supposed to be Friday, the 13th? ...

Pardon my ignorance, but if you get a critical error on a QC review (meaning NOT a post-audit), that does not count against you? ...
