I get dinged because a doctor can't speak - sm
Posted: May 21, 2013
I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA fixes them.
And, of course, that is why it is 100% qa. Would save MTSO $ - to work this out with facility. nm

What does it say about qa pay being so low, MTSO would - rather pay qa than anger a doctor. nm

I have an accout that is 100% QA. I just love when a report comes back stating a blank was clearly heard. Or your told you are not trying enough to fill in the blanks. When I do try harder line count goes down, ding. When I send in with blanks because the dictator is almost inaudible, ding. Cannot win for losing.
I try, I honestly do - sm

and it should be pretty evident because 9 times out of 10 on normal dictations, if I leave a blank, so does QA. It is just so frustrating. I am NOT going to guess at a doctor's ramblings and have someone die. I would never forgive myself.

What If Doctor Doesn't Speak English?? Mar 09, 2010I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...
Dinged If You Do Jan 29, 2013We have an account on 100% QA which is checked by MMEs. No 2 grade alike. If the doctor doesn't dictate "Laboratory Data" so you don't put it, you get a nasty note, "'Laboratory Data' should have been inserted here." So the next report, you put in "Laboratory Data" and get a nasty note "He DID NOT dictate this header!" Can't win with this dirtbag scum-sucking cluster*&^% of a company. ...
I Was Dinged For Dividing A Run-on Sentence! Apr 04, 2014There was a long run-on sentence, so I made it 2 sentences. I got 25 points taken off because, and I quote, *it almost changes the meaning.* So, now you watch - I will get dinged for leaving run-on sentences! Can't win! ...

Correcting Redundant Grammar And Dinged By QA Aug 09, 2013Okay, I just started working here and I've been trying to keep my reports perfect. When a doctor says "past medical history," I've been just typing "medical history" because isn't past and history together being redundant? I'm still on 100% QA and all my feedback has the "past" put back in. I'm not on a verbatim account, so shouldn't me correcting this be okay? ...
Getting Dinged For Missing/inserted Words Mar 05, 2014There have been quite a few complaints lately about getting audits back where the auditors have inserted or taken away words such as: the, of, a/an, etc. The omission or insertion of these words when not dictated is something that should be captured as an error. However, the point value for such an error usually is zero. This type of error is usually a feedback and educational opportunity error. Because they have a value of zero, you could potentially have 20 of these errors and still have ...
So Tired Of Getting Dinged For Item That Was Pended Feb 27, 2015I have a very low pending rate. I very rarely have to pend, but there was a discrepancy in the header so I pended it and explained that in the box. I get a QC1 review (I know this doesn't count but it doesn't make it any less stupid!!) with a 1.0 major error for the very thing I pended it for. This in no way makes sense. I requested a reversal (Know it makes no difference, it's the irritation). I put it in the comments and asked them to please explain ...
SPEAK UP May 19, 2015This one particular account I absolutely despise. The dictators whisper. Even with the volume turned all the way UP, it is a struggle to hear them. Have reported this too many to count times with nothing being changed. What a bunch of garbage.

Anyone Else Been Set Adrift So To Speak? - Sm Jun 14, 2010It all started approximately a month ago with a note from CCM saying she was going on vacation. Not a word from her since then.
Letter from corporate saying I had a new CCM. Wrote that person and got a reply that she would like to help me but I wasn't hers!
Been well over two weeks since any word from QATL.
I was on lockdown, now I'm not.
I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it. LOL

Is It Too Much To Ask For The Docs To SPEAK UP Nov 03, 2012How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT.

Can't Speak Properly Aug 22, 2014There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...

I Am So Sick Of Foreigners Who Can't Speak English! Feb 14, 2011They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...

Overheard A Doctor Telling Another Doctor... Oct 15, 201020 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

I Am Sick Of Getting Dinged For "illogical" Text. Mar 27, 2014Being that I have 30 years experience, have been here for about 8 years, and have never had bad audits but am now being failed and under performance management, I figure I am on their target list, and it is just a matter of time before I am out of here either by their hand or my hand (haven't landed the new job in the new career yet). So, I might as well go down with a good fight.

May Be Losing Job To "Dragon Speak" Aug 27, 2010Hi all,
I wanted to share my current situation. For the past 3-4 years the doc I work for (I am an IC but have had an acct with this same physican for many years since I used to work in his office as an employee) has periodically told me and the full-time lady in the office that we may be losing our positions due to cutbacks in transcription. I also transcribe for another family doctor in this same group and probably half of my lines come from him as well. There was an office ...

Do You Ever Wonder How A Doctor (ESL Or Non-ESL) Would Feb 20, 2010react if we went in their offices and talked so fast that they couldn't understand what we said, if we ate during our visit, or yawned and continued talking? I'm just going to wager a guess that they wouldn't appreciate it very much. Sometimes, I think it would be fun to try just to see their reactions. There are some that I transcribe that if I ever got the chance to do that I would. Have an ESL right now that's talking way too fast. Do they not ...
Anyone Else Have A Doctor Who ........ (sm) Aug 05, 2010Rambles on, makes no sense throughout the dictation at all, does not make complete sentences, dictates on a patient in the WRONG chart constantly, follows no format, which is required by YOU, cuts himself off but yet when you can understand him, he has a "bright" moment and makes sense is an absolute joy to transcribe???? Oh, and did I mention that he only dictates every third day even though he sees patients on a daily basis????
Mini-vent over, back to the confusion ...
TIA ...
