Huge account going to Epic in the East tomorrow - sm

Posted: Jan 31, 2014

20 MTs are being moved elsewhere.

Hopefully not the west, we have no work - anontoo

Sorry about the loss of accounts, but it sounds like the east needs help so I hope they stay in their region. The LAST thing the west needs is 20 extra people.

WORK GONE - Nature

I noticed yesterday and today that there has been no work on one of my accounts that I have worked on for over 13 years. I am not sure if we are North or East, but it was North a few months ago, but noticed supervisor called it East this last week.

There are only 2 regions now ... one with no work and one with work - anon

Otherwise known as the western region and the eastern region.

There is no longer any "northern" or "southern" region.

maybe not but if you look - at Fluency

[ In Reply To ..]
it still shows South, West and North service regions, and I get overflow from North and South as well.

Yeah and we ALL know how quick they are about updating Fluency ... - rolling eyes - NM

NM

well true that - but

those same accounts are still in those service areas as they have always been. Actually, is it really going to be East and West, or is it just the two people, whatever you call them, vice presidents or whatever?

It's ALREADY only east and west - there was an email from corporate

[ In Reply To ..]
Shaw sent out an email back in December about it. It's already done - a bunch of TSMs and QCs were let go, several regions were consolidated and the country's accounts were divided into east and west regions. It's not something that is going to be done ... it's already been done.

I know but - I mean

[ In Reply To ..]
are all the accounts in one in the west, and all the accounts in the other in the east? because mine isn't actually called East or West, they've been calling it the region, for the head person who is over it. Oh well, never mind.

Oh! Oh my gosh sorry, I get what you mean now ... - anon

Sorry, I'm on the same page now.

YES both regions are named after the person that oversees them. I've forgotten the names but yes, they are.

Loyalty or the Lack Thereof - Sarah

[ In Reply To ..]
It was heartbreaking to lose my account to EPIC. But more than heartbreaking, I felt it was so disloyal. I loved the account, always worked my derriere off for them. I was very loyal. We were just garbage to them evidently.

I think the problem is that we are "expecting" loyalty - in a very disloyal business

[ In Reply To ..]
It's *ALLLLL* about the money for them. It's what is going to increase their bottom line and there is absolutely NO loyalty or "emotion" in that decision.

I think part of our problem as MTs is that we expect loyalty and appreciation for what we do and we'll get that as long as we're raking in the money for the service. But when that stops, so does the appreciation.

Face it - we're becoming a liability. Stop asking for loyalty and stop asking for appreciation or anything emotional. Once we stop expecting anything from the services, it makes transitions like these much easier to handle.

Lost account to Epic 2 years ago. All going eventually - End of MT World

[ In Reply To ..]
My main account when I started with MM 8 years ago was a dream, 3 hospitals and easy work. Then account changed to Epic, including OPs. No transcription at all. I found out by reading a newspaper article about it online and hospital saying how much money they saved. MTs are soon to be obsolete. Sad.

So, we were just informed that a huge account is being rolled out to EPIC and "assured" there would be "minimal" volume loss. Can somebody who has been through this please give us the true facts? I'm inclined to not want to drink the Nuance Kool-Aid. Thanks in advance. ...

Small to medium-sized company lost a very large long-term client. Naturally, the MTs are to blame. Reason given was the work was out of turn around on weekends and MTs did not meet their commitments. I can't say what percentage of MTs did not meet their commitments. I do know that I always have. I also know that I have kept an accurate log of the work on this very large account and 75 to 90% of the time the work runs out on Sunday, with no work available on Mon ...

Anyone else one of the new hires? Are you on the new huge account? I've been twiddling my thumbs now. Guess I need to apply elsewhere. I had been told before it was a good company, but I need to be actually typing. That really is a lot of MTs to hire and then not have the new account begin. I read, below, someone said it keeps being delayed. ...

Does not surprise me.. the Canned reports featured in EPIC I am sure will take over to completely do away transcriptionists. Clearly healthcare is okay with homogenous reports that really are not particular to the patient, just trying to stay within the slimmest margin of the law. It's like legal liability insurance...the bare minimum required. ...

What the ding dang dong is happening? I get the feeling that they are routing work differently between offshore and onshore.

I'm in an HIT program after doing transcription for about 5 years and deciding that I'm tired of being a wandering sheep, and I just read the first chapter in one of my textbooks, which says that "speech recognition software is 95% to 99% accurate."

I had a HUGE eye opener yesterday.

Then your order goes directly to the kitchen electronically and your dinner is brought to you by a staff member w ...
