Due to "failing" audit, I am so reluctant to send the report. - 99.4%


Posted: Feb 12, 2015

Don't agree with all the niggly points taken off, but I haven't spoken to QA because I have absolutely nothing to say that doesn't involve bad words and attitude. I have so had it. You want me to be Ms English grammar expert, but only for minimum wage?? Heck, I will do good for the past, and at the very least, be functional grammar-wise, especially with the dictation I get. I am also not going to spend my time off studying the AAMT BOS for minimum wage. I'll spend my time studying for my classes so I can graduate and get out of here!!!

You have the right idea. Work on what is important for you. We can sit and listen all day to their modules which mean absolutely nothing. Just like the modules for the updated Fluency. That looks so difficult, but when you do it, it's not at all. If they could learn to write modules/letters/rules that would be easy to follow and read, we would not have all of this stuff going on. To me anything over 95% is just pretty good. No one intentionally tries to do less. Good luck on your studies. What are you working on if I might ask? If I was younger, I would be doing the same thing. A friend of mine is 55 and she just got her LPN. I was so proud of her! She could not take it here any longer either. A great loss when she left, just as it will be when you leave.

Failing Audit

so, how does one rationalize getting 90% and 94% on an audit when there are 2 minor errors?  do they choose shorter reports so we fail?  will i finally hear from my manager after nothing for months over this? ...


For Post Below About Failing Audit
Aug 29, 2012

(not using my spellcheck - please forgive)  Recently I have found some interesting information on the internet - about how insurance companies are now conferring with employers on a 3- or 6-month basis to determine which employees are using excessive health insurance, as in if someone has cancer or is costing them money.  They in turn are letting those employees go in various ways.  Since insurance companies can no longer terminate policies or refuse care for people with preexist ...

MT Employment Opportunities After Being Terminated For Failing Audit
Feb 15, 2014

I was looking at MT ads and a lot of them only need 98% accuracy, but M-Modal had to have at least 99.6%, going to 99.7% soon. I wonder about different MT companies' thoughts on this - or whether I should even think about looking for future medical transcription work. ...

one sentence. YOU HAVE TO REDICTATE THIS REPORT BECAUSE THE AUDIO IS SUCH CRAP THAT I COULD ONLY HEAR EVERY OTHER WORD AT BEST.   Seriously! I have a 255s discharge summary right now and the static is SO bad that I can only hear every other word, and sometimes not even that much.  How am I supposed to deal with that?  We should not have to struggle through reports like this where the audio is the problem.  There should be a way to kick it back to the client or something w ...


Would You Send Report To QA For Drug Reaction?
Apr 15, 2010

Would you send a report to QA for a discrepancy if there is a major drug reaction indicated in the report? Patient had angioplasty and stenting less than 1 year ago and is on Plavix. Dictator states that he is going to place him on Protonix for GERD. This is a major drug reaction. I don't know if it would be overstepping my bounds as an MT to point this out to the dictator or if it would be appropriate as it is part of my job to look out for discrepancies. Any advice? TIA! ...


I Am So Sick Of FIESA I Could Scream. Had To Send A Report
Jun 30, 2013

with lots of blanks because of poor quality.  What happens?  I get hit with MULTIPLE invalid blanks. That is ridiculous.  Would they rather have me guess.  I don't care if everybody else in the company can hear it, if I can't then I WILL NOT guess just to keep from having to send it to QA or QC or whoever gets it.  There is nothing whatsoever constructive about FIESA.  All it does is stress people out. ...

Age Detector Failing
Jan 22, 2015

It looks like my account turned on their age and sex detector for Fluency.  What a pain.  I'm on a children's hospital, so usually things are from the parents' point of view, resulting in a lot of "he" and "she" that don't match the patient.  I had to go through and ignore all of them.  What a pain.  I just got one with the age flagged as an error.  I checked it multiple times and what I had was correct, but it still picked it up as an error. &nb ...


I Am So Sick Of Failing Audits!
Mar 12, 2014

But, of course, I am above the industry standard. A couple of small mistakes I wonder how I made them, but I think it has to do with the mind numbing ASR. Most obviously taking more time in an effort to do better has made no difference in my performance. My lph was low too. I am so sick of this. I did not have these problems before I was transferred to this group. ...

Can anyone tell me what I should be sending to QA or if I even should be.  I get tired of getting docked for something they cannot even figure out but yet it is me who gets the pay cut.  I am afraid to send anything to them because most of the time QA sends it back to me not knowing what they said either.  ...


When To Send To QA?!
Sep 21, 2011

After getting mixed messages as to how many blanks in a report are needed in order to be automatically sent to QA, I finally have the final number of needing a minimum of 5 blanks.   But because I am new at this field, I find myself with reports of 1 or 2 blanks that are of something that someone with more experience would know. Operative reports have all sorts of instrumentation that I just do not know and trying to look them up from what I hear just doesn't yield any reliable resul ...

I Wonder When TSM BK Will Send Out Her
Aug 15, 2013

on-call back-up MTs for the Labor Day weekend? Makes me laugh. She always expects this unforeseen deluge of reports because, gosh, you just never can tell when those doctors will start dictating hundreds of reports over the holiday.  Way too inexperienced to be in her positon.  Obviously never an MT or she would not even begin to ask for extra help during a holiday. Never enough work for those that are scheduled and then also for the following week.  ...
