I fear QA audit - help! - Jessie

Posted: Aug 04, 2012

I just started a few days ago. I fear the QA audits. How tough is it? Do they give us a chance? Do they can us immediately if we fail a few times during training? Help, raw data needed!

don't worry too much - downtime

They'll QA all your work but they don't expect you to know everything right away.

Any nightmare QA audits out there? - Jessie

Anyone have serious issues with QA and got fired? I need this job bad, but fear them a lot. I just started working the other day with Modal and I don't know if they'll be hard on me if I fail QA.

Don't worry. No one is mean. They'll try to be - helpful. :))))

probably the least of your worries - mouse

that would be the least of my worries with what you are (not) paid and the ability to make rent/house pymt. Just my opinion.

I started a few months ago, - sm

While all of your work will go to QA, you won't get consistently audited. Your QA feedback might get confusing, i.e., some say do this, some say do that. Tried to take it with a grain of salt. My QC audited me after 3 or 4 days, and it was good enough to get off full QA. It was very helpful, and she pointed out corrections QA made that were incorrect.

Flash forward a few months, and I failed an audit, just barely, just still failed. I got another one the week following and passed, so no firing or whipping for me. (J/K)

That's just my experience. Ask lots of questions if you're unsure of anything with the CP,take your time on each report and I'm sure you'll do fine.

No firing, they give you a chance. Her is how it - worked for me:

the first week all my work was 100% QA which here at mmodal are called MMEs. They cant score your work, just give you feedback.

At the end of the first week, I got audited and I passed without a problem. My quality coach is not anal at all. She is more concerned with major/critical erros, things that will affect patient care. But for the minor things like book of style, she did leave me a few notes.

I dont think you have to worry. Good luck and welcome aboard.

You should have said welcome aboard - the Titanic - NM

Making myself sick sitting here worrying. Message to contact TSM to discuss latest audit. Got a 98.2. Already received corrective action a little over a month ago. My first written. Wondering what is in store for me? Like everyone else, I can't afford to lose my job. I keep looking but nothing else is coming my way. Please pray for me. Hope I am just borrowing trouble. I put in dates of service that were not dictated, so I made the mist ...

I know I have to leave this job at some point and go out into the real world, a real office, a real job. Can anybody give me some advice on how to overcome my fears? Journalling? I can't afford counseling right now. I have had to face these kinds of life changes in the past, but that was many years ago when I was younger. I am not so young anymore and the thought of working outside the house is terrifying me. I have checklists and have done extensive rese ...

Just got e-mail stating I did NOT pass my audit. i got 99.4%. i have been with this company for over 15 years. Lately, I stress out every day over this job. I am sitting here waiting for a phone call from my TSM to discuss this. I am quite worried. Living paycheck to paycheck now. Cannot afford to take another pay cut or lose my job. If they do put you on 100% do you ever get taken off? I have slowed down and really tried to be more careful/cautio ...

I have been doing this for over 8 years and was on the STAR team, like that means anything, at my last job for over 6 years and never had a problem and then they got bought and laid off everyone. I have had my present job which pays only about 2/3 of what that one did for 4 months now and it has been nothing but abuse for the last month. They told me I was a star 6 weeks ago and now apparently I am dog dirt. Ah, how fleeting stardom is in this industry. They told me I did not do well on a QA ...

I've got this terror of critical errors. I shudder every time I check my feedback, if I've left a marker (sometimes I've noticed they'll check the entire report, not just the marker. Guess it depends on the MME). What happens if you get a critical error? Are you back on QA for awhile? Do you get nasty e-mails? Do you get canned? 40 lashes? ...

of a possible class action lawsuit. If you started taking things to the Labor Board you can bet MQ will be forced to let go of people. I'm not saying MM is not to blame because I DO believe they are sending 80% of the work to India for cheap labor and to avoid excessive taxes. They have a right to do that. MM provided work to American workers to provide some with jobs, not to make a profit. It's expensive to employ American MTs thanks to the US Govt, but that's for another day.&nb ...

There is a discussion below about blogs. I've felt for a long time that the whole idea of blogging has some danger flags. First, bloggers talk to us. They represent one philosophy or present facts from one person's viewpoint. Readers can often reply, but any dissenting viewpoints are quickly shut down. Independent thinking is discouraged in a number of ways. We are told what to think, what movies or TV shows to watch, what jobs we should take, what books we should read. It's usual ...

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 ...

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%.

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 ...
