MM apparently opening a new "healthcare technology center" - in Bangalore...saw on FB

Posted: May 14, 2014

Don't know what to make of that....just another example of how they want to invest in their Indian employees. If you call slave wages an investment that is.

Did you read - the press release?

The new Bangalore center will focus on driving innovations in existing and emerging healthcare technologies, particularly in the clinical documentation space. The center is also a part of M*Modalâ��s expansion plans in India to help accelerate overall company growth and create value for its healthcare provider customers worldwide.

â��Our new center will not only be one of our key technology hubs for developing, delivering and supporting cutting edge solutions to our healthcare customers around the world, it will also be one of the best centers in Bangalore for professionals to pursue their technology careers,â�� said Mr. Detlef Koll, Chief Technology Officer, M*Modal.

The Bangalore Technology Center complements M*Modalâ��s existing IT facility in Hyderabad and is part of the companyâ��s effort to consolidate technology development at key sites in India and around the world.

â��We are delighted to open this dedicated technology center in Bangalore,â�� said Bill Donovan, Sr. Vice President, Human Resources at M*Modal. â��The new center, with all its modern amenities and high-tech infrastructure, will spur creativity among the employees and help them work in a highly collaborative environment. The new center and our experienced technology staff will enhance the value we provide our customers and expand our global leadership position in clinical documentation.â��

Has I think I saw the highest tax rate for businesses in the world now..What incentive is there to stay inside this country when you can do it more cheaply outside? My only hope is that the language barrier will bring it all crashing down around them, doubt it though. I fully believe with the EMR, and obamacare cutting into the docs money, they are going to go to the point and click options of documenting everything anyway. It is a dieing field, like many others, technology is evolving and we are not necessary..

It sounds like a lot of corporate mumbo jumbo jive announcement that only means more work for low paid Indians and less for well trained, educated American workers.

I wonder if they will have more success with this than they have had - with the coding program? nm

Got an e-mail with job openings. That's a first. They need a CCM, any takers? I was interested to see they supervise 50-70 MTs. I thought it was a lot more than that. I thought the reason my CCM seldom sends out e-mails or answers e-mails or the phone, for that matter, was because she had about 300 MTs to supervise. Seriously, we get more e-mail from Vern than from her. Just a random thought while passing through... ...

I've been an MT for years (about 10). I've worked subcontracting for many companies, local docs and my local hospital. I've worked for probably 10 internet companies on a temp basis to help with overflow (usually covering summer vacations). I've never had just one company, always several, so if one was out of work, another could provide. Of all the companies I have worked for... I like MedQuist the best... I know I'm alone in this apparently, but ...

Hopefully, I can find somebody tomorrow that will help me. Apparenlty, I am to dense to do this. ARGH!!!!!! I just feel like everything ...

So we get the email today that the QC is overloaded with her job and to please utilize the style guide and BOS and other Mmodal goodies rather than calling or emailing her. You know Mmodal/Shaw, if we actually were allowed to contact other MTs on our same accounts we wouldn't need to contact our QC every time the client decides to make exceptions for each doctor and it never gets added to the CP or we just cannot figure out what that doc is saying. But apparently we are truly on our o ...

than I am, to explain to me how, when I am told to take my lph divided by 2 and my overall lines for the day and divide by 2, how we are getting paid for all the lines we do. I'm curious how that is explained so people see that they are actually getting paid for all the lines. For example, I am told that I need to figure C-LPH which is basically my lph divided in half. So if I am able to edit 250 lph, for the grid that is equivalent to 125 clph. Then my total lines are di ...

I pursued this same position a few months ago but ultimately declined it due to the hours. I keep seeing it reappear every couple of months since then. Does or has anyone worked on that account and is there a reason they keep recruiting for it? It was a tough decision not to take it as I love genetics and find it fascinating, but every time I see it pop up I'm thinking maybe I dodged an enormous bullet by not taking it (lack of work, horrific dictators, etc). I thought perhaps ...

M Modal cesspool, but not quite that bad. They are prioritizing stats from all of your secondary accounts in front of your primary, making it harder obviously to produce lines. Did anyone get the email about this? I am wondering if this is a Nuance thing that is now being introduced? I know why companies do this, it is to their benefit, and they care nothing about us, but it just infuriates me as another kick in the face to MTs and lack of caring about anything but ...
