Failing audit - BrokeBetty

Posted: May 09, 2013

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?

huh? - how could

how could 2 minor errors result in scores of 90 and 94, regardless of the size of the report?

was told it was based on the length of the report....shorter report, more points deducted.

that doesn't make sense - minor errors

are like .25 off. I have never heard of the length of the report making any difference. Maybe I'm wrong.

The size of the report always affects the overall score. - sm

The shorter the report, the bigger the impact errors will have overall percentage-wise. That's simple math. I once challenged a 10-line report being used, which resulted in a score of around 80% for 1 (one) error.

I don't see why - size of report would matter

I thought they started with 100 and deducted error weights from there. It shouldn't have to be divided by the number of lines, but if it is, and they want to fire me for leaving out a "the," well they can just do that.

Size of report does not matter - sm - Auditing Reports

The size of the report does not matter. Scoring is now done on a flat scoring basis. Your report starts off with a score of 100 and you get points deducted for each type of error you make. Critical - 3 points, noncritical - 1 point, minor - 0.25. So if you have a report with 1 critical error, that report scores 97 (100 minus 3 points for critical error).

My apologies, I stand corrected. Been a while since I worked for the M. - that is an improved system.

The way the OP described it was easily explained by the former way of doing things, so I just assumed (and we know the danger in that).

I thought they - Stopped doing that...

I thought they stopped using the size of the report as a marker. Maybe I'm wrong. Either way, it should be based on maybe 100 lines or something. That would be more fair.

(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 ...

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. ...

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 tim ...

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 ...

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. ...

My score was 96.6. All the reports docked were ASR reports, missing a few things here and there like leaving in oven instead of correcting to even - well, you get the gist. There were no critical mistakes. Not once, in all my years working for hospitals or doctors have I had an aduit. I'm wondering if it's just that ASR is only a year old to me and that's why I'm having issues. Oh well. ...

I got 2 ASR audits lately. Is everyone getting them? I only do about 50 ASR reports a month and they seem to think I use my mouse too much. I am dangernous with short-cut keys. I tend to not stop to think and hit the wrong key and something goes whacky. I always know where my mouse is! Anyway, we run out of work at least 3 nights a week. Am I supposed to master the short-cut keys so I can do my work faster and run out of work sooner and sit here longer a ...

and told I should have caught something (which I should have). It was something trivial like suggestion versus suggestive. Got a mail from mentor that I should have slowed down & caught this. I've been an MT for over 2 yrs now, and it wasn't something that put a pt's health in any kind of harm. Knew I had one very hard ESL auth go to auditing & watched it until it was done. 100%. Any word on a nice job? Not hardly. Love my jo ...

Last audit was 99.4 something percent accuracy. LPH was about 265. But oh, too many of my reports are sent in with blanks (worst accounts I have ever worked on) and I need to send more work to QA.

Dec 03, 2009

It's obvious they're cracking down on us, nit-picking, etc., to what end? Everyone, myself included, seem to be getting less than 98%. Is it just to keep us on our toes, or to have ammunition to hold against us when the time comes to ship everything to India? ...

Does anyone know how the audits work? Is it the average score of 5-6 reports together? What if you failed 1 report but passed the other 4-5 and the average of all of them together is still passing? Are you put back on 100% QA for the 1 report? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks ...

Does anyone know the rules for placing an MT on 100% audit. Do you have to fail 2 audits in a row or just 2 audits. I failed in Feb, passed in March and will probably fail in April. The point system is whacked in my opinion, but my opinion doesn't really count. It is probably listed somewhere on MQ Central but I find navigating that system is somewhat like navigating a maze. Unless you know where to find it, it takes forever. I have sent an e-mail to my Q ...

I have been put on a written audit and received 92%. So I am being given 1 more week. Which means I am more than likely out of here. I did not not have any Major marks, but only a lot of minor - i.e., two liters versus 2L, grams versus g. I should just quit and go work at the big lots, less stress more money ...

So, I failed another "audit". I have to bounce back and forth between at least 10 accounts, therefore 10 different client profiles AND have to keep up with the ever changing QA preference of the day! I'm so depressed. It's really heard to understand that VR stuff and ESL dictators. Has anyone failed more than a few audits and continued working? Will they fire me? I, like everyone else, am really struggling, but I NEED this job. Any ideas on h ...

last week and that is all that were done. Score 97.8. :( I don't agree with the errors but what can you do. So, out of the approx 40 plus reports I did per day last week, only THREE were audited and that will cause me to fail my audit? I haven't heard from anyone about this yet--could that mean that they are not done and will audit more reports? I hope so, because then my score will probably go up as those 3 reports were unfamiliar accounts, ESLs...... ...
