Working for this company is like being picked to death by a chicken. ;-)
Been there, done that. Now leaving obsessive accuracy for line count. LOL - moody blues

Spent 5 weeks on performance management for 99.5 earlier this year. Now being warned that I could be in lone for performance management for line count, so leaving those little 0.25 punctuation errors on the report and my line count doubled. LOL. Now waiting for QA performance coach to tell me to slow down! LOL. :-p. My line count goes down Friday through Sunday because certain line killing doctors work only on the weekends. I had a great demonstration of ASR destroying the line count. I corrected the output according to every error = 100 lph. All subsequent times that doctor came up, just retyped it = 189 lph.
I'm always over 200 until I get Mr. Mumblemouth who knows he is not forming actual words when he hums through the PE, as my counts plummet to as loiw as 75 LPH. Then I get a long report from an excellent fast-talking dictator and my LPH jumps to 340.
Question: Why is it that the MTSO does not comprehend the fact that our production depends on the capability of the provider to dictate correctly? The horrid dictators are never told they are doing anything wrong as ...
Still no check...was told it would be sent overnight Wednesday. Call never returned from the woman in payroll who was going to check on how it was sent. Today is Saturday. This is for work done from August 1st through August 15th, and then I'm expecting a second one for the rest of the month. I have worked for Proscript during the same time period, and I have received 2 paychecks from them on time and ZERO FROM ALLTYPE! ...
Hello,
I have been trying to get a job since I graduated last year from Kaplan University Online. I take the online test and fail some how everytime I do it. I have went as far as to screen shot the test in progress just to research the answers ( I found a few mistakes). Yet my main concern is the transcription portion. I can never seem to format it properly. I use my school books and online reference tools and I feel I am still doing something wrong. Now im looking for online help and a corres ...
And we all know what Christmas means for all mmodal employees...
OUR ANNUAL PAY CUT!!!
Any guesses what it will be this year? I'm betting on losing another 3 days of vacation and having SR pay cut to 4 cpl for everybody, even those grandfathered in at 6 cpl.
At that point social security will be a no-brainer for me.
can hardly wait ...
Just an update...I'm still jumping through hoops for this paycheck. Then I'll have a paycheck that should be mailed next week, also. I'm wondering how long I'll have to wait for that one or if I will ever see either of these checks. It's only around 300 combined, but that's 300 I need for bills...I have a family to take care of.... ...
I worked for LabCorp for 7 years - started at $14/hr - left 7 yrs later at $19.86/hour -- company has own credit card for employees - called a Clear Card - available to ALL employees - Regular working hours. EASY transcription!!! Could do it in my sleep! Benefits. Had a lot of overtime if you wanted it - ($28 an hour when I left - at time and a half). I would recommend LabCorp to EVERYONE! They also have data entry if interested. lower pay, though.& ...
Hi. Just wondering if anyone currently working for AllType has received their paycheck for the pay period ending August 15th? I am still waiting on this and am worried it has been lost in the mail or something. I'm assuming it would have been mailed on August 25th. Is this correct? Thanks for any help. I'm worried, and I have a ton of bills to pay and a family. ...
So, have you heard that Keystrokes is going to a "time clock" system in August? If this really goes through, this may be the straw...
I have put up with all the other stuff going on there. I constantly help out on other accounts as well as getting my own work done. But, if I have to punch a clock, when I have been able to flex for 4 years, I don't think I'm gonna do it! First off, there is no way I can sit for 8 hours straight. I get my work done in 4 hours or so and then ...
Can somebody tell me what this audit/QA procedure is now? I'm so confused with when they are done, how many reports are done, etc., etc.
I had been told earlier that 5 reports would be randomly pulled monthly and checked. You would be notified you had been audited and the results. If you passed, another 5 would be done the next month and so on. If you didn't pass the audit, then a redo audit within 7-14 days would be done on another 5 random reports.  ...
Does anyone know how often TT does audits? The last one I got was pretty nitpicky. If my score goes lower, it will be probably unacceptable. Do they fire you for that? ...
I am still getting QA audits. One acct I am on audits once a week by contract. Wondered if anyone else is still getting QA feedback or is it quality in the dumper. ...
I don't understand how auditing works. Two of my reports were reviewed, and in each case, a word I had puit in had a line through it, but then it was replaced with the same exact word! For that, I got marked off, getting only 99.50% or 99.75%. I wish there was a way we could give direct feedback to the auditors at the time we're viewing our reports. ...
every week I will either get a "Congratulations, GREAT job- You are an excellent MT - I'm so glad to have you on my team! or a "Your quality is unacceptable at 98.7 (or whatever--it's always at least 98%)...you will need to take the Care Boost Quality class. Jeesh. What it is? Am I a great MT or am I a failure of an MT who needs quality classes? Make up your mind!! Either leave me alone to do my job (yes do alert me of my mistakes, but if it's a simpl ...
Luckily, I dodged a bullet, but was reading through the auditor's comments for other MTs - This is a 0.25 error??!!?? Really?
Typed: H and H is stable. Auditor: H and H are stable. ...
:( I have tried to give the QA program the benefit of the doubt, thinking it was being done fairly, rewarding us for near perfect QA scores. I have managed to keep my QA score above 99% every week until last week. Before last week, I normally have 8 to 11 reports pulled for audit, some short, some long. Last week I had 1 critical, 1 major, and 2 minor mistakes which dropped me down to no bonus pay. Not faulting anyone for that, totally my mistakes, legitimate errors. But....once th ...
I have only had 3 audits in 2-1/2 years. Even though I received notice of scores of 99.6 or 99.7, I did not receive any account of what my mistakes were to produce those scores. A comma? A hyphen? Not sure. They should let us know in case we keep doing it, and that could cause us to fail an audit in the future.
Just think, a comma, a hyphen, Patient instead of The patient, his elbow instead of the elbow, etc. could actually cost you your job, your income, and your whole way of life. Sca ...
Okay, I may be the last one to know this, but I thought the only QC audits I was getting were the ones showing up on the DQM QA Feedback screen where it says (1 unread) or (how many ever unread). When you click on them, if the report has been audited by your QC, it will have a percentage score. But that's just for the reports you sent in with a blank. To see the ones randomly selected and audited, you have to use the QA Feedback Search feature and put in a date range. For example, I j ...
Just wondering if a transcriptionist with too many years of experience to tell fails an audit, then how are these India MTs keeping their jobs. Are they passing their audits? I just have a hard time believing that they are. ...
This is silly
Not only do we need to follow CP guidelines but BOS and then DocQscribe standards.
So even if you have the first 2, the third will get you audit.
Why can't they spend the money and create one set of rules to follow and be done with it.
We work on production now. checking on previous dictated reports and then double checking guidelines from all three areas ??
and when you send in a blank now I am also being questioned about the audio etc.&nb ...
I got CRITICAL errors on audit for things like: I typed "I used a translator telephone..." (that is what I heard) and the person auditing changed "a translator telephone" to "the translator telephone" (I suppose she heard "the" instead of "a"). In the physical exam portion of one report, the dictator used "was" throughout except for one time he said "is" and so I changed it to "was" to make it consistent and got a critical error for that. Please tell me how these are critica ...
With all the recent ridiculous corrections everyone's been getting, it might be a good idea to keep a record of the name of MME/QA who reviewed the reports. If an MME/QA is consistently abusing you/us, at least you will know who to complain about to your CCM about. ...
Since September, they've been looking for a total of 76 MTs. Are the audits over for another month or so and how many are gone over those audits? Any long term TTers left?
I haven't seen anything posted on this board since the beginning of October. I remember when someone was sued over a post and was wondering who won that case?
Is TT still a good place to work?
Thanks, ...
Does it seem like no matter what you do it is not good enough? Here lately it seems like they only audit the worst dictator. The only reports they have audited for me lately have been ESLs lately. Maybe that is their way of trying to get rid of me. Maybe they want to thin the herd and just send it all to India.
I just hope to find something soon outside of MT. I have been looking.
...
I'd like to say I have had to learn accounts on my own and have had to cross reference many, many times. Yes, I have seen blanks where if someone had taken the time to hunt for the word, it would have helped me also, but for the most part with what we have to work with, I have seen words that are highly inaudible by many, many doctors with bad dictation and yet what was typed was a wonder we could make anything out of it. I have seen no help from the hospitals themselves as ...
