Has anyone here used both DEP platform and Clarity/Cornerstone? SM - Shelley

Posted: Jun 21, 2011

I worked for Spheris and used platform called Cornerstone. There are some MTs on the account who get to use the MQ platform, DEP. Cornerstone is very slow and I was wondering if the MQ platform is faster/better/whatever. If anyone knows answer, please, please email me.

Thank you.

Any former Spheris MTs who LOVE Cornerstone, I don't want to hear about it. I know all shortcuts and use SH quite effectively. The thing is slow and I'm peeved.

I've used both... - sm

They seem pretty much the same to me speedwise. Chances are if you find Cornerstone to be slow, you'll probably find DEP slow too. Maybe it's not the platform but the processor on your computer, not enough RAM, or even a not-so-high high-speed internet connection or (egads!)a DSL connection? Just a thought...

Oh boy. That's what I thought. Thanks for answer. - Shelley

I have found it to be much better than CUE. The reason I left Spheris was because of their CUE and their claims that if you have shorthand you can zip through things. Not true. You still need the proper tools to help you and CUE is not a user friendly program (in my humble opinion).

I left Spheris months before they were bought out by MQ. I hated CUE (cornerstone). It was terribly slow. Difficult to train quickly. They claimed if you built in all your shorthand you could fly through it. BUNK. We all know better. You can't make money when your tools are inadequate.
DocQScribe is much easier to learn, much much easier and I really think you will like it. The training is a breeze. Good luck and don't dismay. It is better than CUE

Could someone who works for Spheris on the Clarity platform please share what they think of it? The hospital I work for will be switching to this platform and would like to hear good and bad about it. Thx ...

You who do work on the Cornerstone platform, are you familiar with the Instruction Panel on the right? Well, we have patient, provider, author, etc. The information panel has updated instructions for doing the reports. When I follow this, this page does not have the latest information, then one of the CCMs e-mails us something that contradicts these rules. She asked me "where did you read the rules you are going by?" I told her "on the instruction panel." She e-mail ...

Just to put things in perspective. See the link below. I am by no means demeaning any job whatsoever, but I do believe there is a higher degree of skill in making sure a patient's record is accurate, when a life hinges on that, and the knowledge it requires over a cashier. Now....where do you fall in this pay scale? Enlightening, is it not? There is no other way to look at this. After you see the scale below, thing about those of us who have been in this ...

I'm about to throw my compuer out the window!!! I've had such poor voice quality today's dictations. To make matters worse, they all seem to be on hyperspeed and eatting lunch. I'm having to listen over and over just to get the ADT screen filled out. Can't make out the doctor's name half the time and when I finally get out of ADT, the report itself is taking like 3-4 times longer than it should because of the sound quality. I& ...

I would really love to know if anyone here is using Cornerstone for SR? How are your line counts? I have been on my account for years, SR for about 4 months. I am not making any more lines at all! I can't get a straight answer out of OS whether or not other MTs are making it. I suspect not, but how do I know? My impression after reading all this here is that C-stone is just not very good. I have to correct like every other word. I am usi ...

Switching from Classic to Cornerstone is killing my income! My CCM tells me, like all bosses do when they switch to SR, that no one is going to lose their jobs, and it will be better. No. What happens is our pay drops drastically, and then the work doesn't take as long to do. Work that took 100 MTs to do can now be done by 50, and MTs lose out. Good for MQ....bad for us. When I started here in 2006 45K a year. Now lucky if I make 25K. Now at .04 a line, tha ...

I just got finished with 2 days training of the new Fluency 7.1 program (formerly DocQScribe). I think this DocQScribe platform is much harder than Cornerstone, and we had to learn DocQScribe in 4 hours one day plus 5 hours the next day. On the other hand, Cornerstone gave us a week training to learn this. ...

I am greatly disheartened that you still have comments from when an old supervisor was there and that is hurting our company. We place adds with you all on occasion and would like to know how to reply to some of these nasty comments. At least give a company a chance to defend themselves from old disgruntled transcribers. Seems a bit one-sided. Some of these comments are borderline slanderous. ...

you ARE paid for CC's and pt names that YOU type in which might be helpful if you do a lot of clinics. You are NOT paid for headings and subheadings that Cornerstone puts in such as required headings and any headings put in by ASR. From the reports I've checked, it has been from 10 cents up to 55 cents per report. I think I'll be sending my resume out today! Thanks to those who have brought this up lately. I wouldn't have thought to check my coun ...

I've been working for Cornerstone Professional Services for a few years now. I love working for them! They pay on time (direct deposit) every time. I don't know what former staff was like, but I've read some negative reviews about them. I can honestly say the current staff is VERY supportive. They do everything possible to make the MT successful. Any critiquing that is done is always in good taste and and even good humor. The supervisor is a transcriptionist herself, ...

Needing a general consensus on whether or not you like the DQS platform...what about it's ASR generated reports. I personally like the platform and think the ASR reports aren't as bad as some platforms I have been on...I just hate the rate of ASR pay. Though it is estimated the production increases with ASR, for most, that simply is not the case and, per a study I found online, quite the opposite. Please see results from that independent study below. En ...
