How come I am gettting feedback with say 3 minor errors and - tired


Posted: Feb 15, 2012

they are markers that I placed becuase I couldnt understand something, yet QA counldnt either and just made new markers???  I was told no more then 1 marker goes through to the customer...

Because the MME didn't know what they were doing or - the fingers slipped

Since it was 3 times, the MME probably didn't know what they were doing. I'm an MME and everything we change, no matter how significant, is supposed to be marked only as feedback with no points taken off and no error grading.

great happens all the time... - tired

markers - fedup

I was always told not to send to MME unless there were 5 or more markers, and then had to e-mail supervisor with job #'s. Go figure.

1 Point Errors, Critical Errors.
Dec 08, 2012

I get dinged for leaving out words like the, and others.  I am now understanding that this is not the correct policy, that others are not getting critical error, major error, off one point for this.  So, am I being singled out? Because I thought this was the norm.  I'd like to know so that while I am hanging on every word and will continue to do so, I thought I was not the only one with this...thanks in advance for the update.  ...


Minor ASR Annoyance
Jan 08, 2010

Not to add to the litany of complaints about ASR - but it's just so annoying the way whenever the dictator uses the word "period" - as in, "blah blah blah for a prolonged period of time" - ASR puts in a PERIOD and ends the sentence right there.  ARGH. Okay, that's all.  Just a minor vent.       ...

A Minor Error In An ILP Report
Aug 02, 2012

Transcribed:  "...which they say they has at home and it is cool." Dictated:  "...which they say they have at home and at school." This is not an ASR report.  It was actually typed this way. This is just one of the minor errors.  I don't even count things like commas, have/has, and other grammar errors. ...


Anybody Know Of A Company With Clinic Work, IC, Minor Flexibility In Hours?
Jan 22, 2015

I've been out of MT for a few years to go back to college after spending a decade at the daily grind but finances require me to go back to work and so I'm crawling back to the industry again. Anyone know of any companies (nationals fine by me) who are hiring for clinic work? It would be extra ideal to find an IC position that offered me even minor flexibility with my schedule so I could break to drive my kids to school and husband to and from work etc. since we are currently all s ...

QA Errors

CRITICAL ERRORS
Jun 15, 2010

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 ...

If we get a "syntax error" message on a post we have just made, how do we get back in to correct the error without losing the entire post?  Every so often I forget, and put an apostrophe in the subject line, and end up losing the entire post.  I've tried the "back" button, "Alt-Z" (undo), etc., but it's all gone once that syntax message appears. ...


Documentation Errors
Sep 15, 2010

I work in a surgery center/clinic in medical transcription. I have never worked in the medical field before, so I'm not sure what is acceptable. We get massive amounts of documentation errors from the nurses in the surgery center and in the clinic. Is this usually acceptable?! Is it normal for a transcriptionist to be required to scan over the chart and correct all of their errors or should this be the responsibility of the nursing staff? It's DRIVING me up a wall! I'd say 75 ...


What Is Your Job Like When You Get Overflow? What About Errors?

I am a relatively new MT with a pretty good track record at my current job. I have been working there for about 6 months. Well, we just got a new acct, and my company was understaffed. I have been working myself to death. I should be able to do more, but I am a new MT, and I do not type very fast (about 55-60 wpm, slower when I am tired). They have a certain amt of mins of dication you are supposed to complete each day, and they have been giving me more than that. I have been completing what I c ...

PLEASE NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK!  This is truly meant to be helpful, not snotty, threatening, or negative so I expect the same in return.

Medical Errors With EMR
Sep 23, 2012

Has anyone heard of complaints with erroneous information in medical records due to EMR or point and click? My mother recently had to get medical clearance for joint surgery. Her physician went to some form of EMR. They questioned why she was taking a narcotic cough suppressant and insulin listed under her medications in the computer. She was shocked and stated she had never taken those meds. Another family member, who does not drink, got a copy of his most recent physical required yearly f ...


Transcription Errors
Mar 01, 2013

I have been working for Nuance since November. Not my choice, BTW. Does anyone look at their FIESA alerts when they are sent to your email? I am wondering how much experience some of those people have. I have seen errors that they say I did that, after my 31 years of experience doing transcription, I know I did not or would never do. I had one yesterday that said the error was "will follow with you". The correction they put was "will follow with you". Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think th ...


QA And QC Making Up Errors
Mar 23, 2013

I have been working for Nuance for 5-1/2 years now.  I, of course, consider myself a very conscientious and diligent MLS.  Lately, I have noticed "mistakes" that I really DO NOT BELIEVE I made.  Here is an example "800 calorie ADA diet".  Supposedly I did not blank out the 800.  I believe I would have, as 800 calorie diet would have set up an alarm in my head, for sure.  I want to know if others are having the same problem.  Also there is a spot where supposedl ...

I know these don't count towards bonuses etc but it still unnerves me to open my email nearly every day and seeing these stupid alerts with my percentage in the tank.  Some of them I take full credit for others I dispute but it still shakes me up so therefore some of the mistakes I make is just because I am nervous about literally everything I type.  ...


Bogus Errors?

Has anybody ever had the experience on the EditScript or other platforms with Nuance where you got feedback from Fiesa saying you made errors you didn't make-text either inserted or left out?  I have been charged with CPSE and major errors with random words stuck in places where I know I would've seen and corrected it but when they check the draft it's showing that I missed it.  Maybe I'm going crazy but some of those errors I'm almost positive I didn't ma ...

ASR Errors/TOO NUMEROUS TO COUNT
Jul 01, 2010

Has anyone else noticed the numerous errors on ASR??  Words left out, he/she incorrect, the strangest of phrases being picked up by the computer that are not even dictated and the phrases picked up do not even come close to what is really being said.  It just seems to me as this ASR is getting worse by the day.  You would think after spending all the money on the purchase or Spheris, that some amount of money would be spent in cleaning up ASR.  The CCM/and the Q worry about c ...


ASR Chronic Errors List
Sep 09, 2010

Here are some of my observances of chronic ASR errors, though sometimes it gets it right.  Most are not a biggie, but one could get marked down on an audit. 1.  BiPaP.  Should be BiPAP.  2.  Levothyroxine.  ASR capitalizes the "L" for some reason.  This med is a generic for the brand Levothyroid.  Should be levothyroxine. 3.  FIO2.  Should be FiO2. 4.  Hospice.  In the English dictionary, this is simply hospice. If a specific organi ...


Speech And Editing Errors
Dec 19, 2010

working as a coder, I read all the reports.  It always amazes me what goes through.  today I coded an MRI that had the indication "Left upper Germany tingling!"  It should have been left upper extremity.  This is the stuff that doesn't get caught when editing, and it goes into the patient chart.  Once some doc, who didn't bother to look at it, signs it, it can't be changed easliy.  In fact, it is a major issue to try to change something once the ...


CJ, Regarding The Speech And Editing Errors...
Dec 29, 2010

Maybe what you are seeing is already the result of many people like yourself who have already left the field for the same reason you did.  When you get the responsible, diligent workers leaving because the pay has been cut so drastically they can't afford to work anymore, the field becomes saturated with new or substandard workers.  If you're already seeing these errors a lot, imagine how much more there will be when more MTs leave.  Who will be left to do the editing th ...


Transcend - Terminations For Errors?
Aug 22, 2011

Got a job back from the customer this week and a note from QA about an error that didn't go to customer.  But... 2 in one week. I am so embarrassed and more than a little concerned.  I think I am trying too hard to build up line count and being sloppy.  (No excuses for that, bad...me)  Not that I am making a fortune on this job, but I do not want to be terminated for quality issues.  My morale is bad enough right now without that.  Never worked so hard to make ...
