MQ deserves an award for creative naming - old MT


Posted: Mar 18, 2010

for coming up with cutesy names like "First Time Right" for "we'd really like to get rid of QA" and things like that.

They are very old-school corporate - RawRecruit

I'm new to MT but have worked for decades in other fields and MQ's tactics are typical of the old-style corporate world. The jargon, the carrot and stick approach, etc. This approach does not work as well as it used to in today's economy, and I would say their days are numbered if they don't change tactics.

Maybe that"s the answer: Those who manage MTSOs are the - ones who cant cut it in the modern corp.world.

Not Sure How To Ask Without Naming Names
Jun 11, 2013

I have an opportunity to subcontract for a person who has accounts.  She does not really have a "business" per se, e.g., no company name.  She said she has hired nationally before and I was hoping to come here and ask if she paid on time, etc.  But - I can't seem to find a way around it without naming names. ...

ASR Is Way Too Creative.
Dec 11, 2009

Doctor says no arthralgia.  ASR says no swelling.  No way is this close.  I often find creative transcription in the ASR.  There is simply no excuse for this!  Especially when the doctor is speaking clearly.  We should be paid 110% of our cpl for fixing this garbage.   ...

Creative Expander Use
Feb 15, 2010

Hi everyone, I use my expander to remember tons of phrases, medical terms, short words I use a lot, drug names, dates, and addresses.  I also know you can save whole documents as templates, too.  But I suspect there are lots of ways expanders are being used that I haven't even thought of.  Any creative MTs out there who can share some tips?  I use Instant Text, but ideas from any expander users would be fun to hear. ...

Creative Comments When Accepting
Mar 25, 2015

Like, I wonder if instead of just my initials and that I reviewed my error, I should try something like: "Yes I made a mistake, no I DON'T think my pay should go down by $100, how would you like it?" "How would you like it if you had to be perfect OR you got your pay docked?" "Yes, I willlfully accept my error, but I do NOT accept your wage theft." Of course, I am accepting their wage theft in reality by signing that and staying employed by the devil. Sigh. I doubt anyone cares what yo ...


Teacher: Class, How Can We Be More Creative With MT Pay Gouging?
Oct 02, 2013

If a person types 60 words a minute (roughly six lines with 10 words per line), and it takes two minutes to type those six lines (roughly twice the amount of time as dictated), that equates to this: 30 minutes divided by 6 lines equals 5 cents, divided by 2 for the time factor of typing = 2.5 cents a line. I guess we are seeing the new low in the MT limbo dance. ...

My last check showed that I had a taxable prize of 13.00.  I have yet to receive it in the mail.  How long does it take to get it, for those of you that have in the past?  I guess 10 bucks is 10 bucks.  ...

Interesting Award??--NEMT
Aug 09, 2012

My friend who is attending the AHDI conference in Indianapolis just texted me that the company we are ICs for (New England Medical Transcription) was awarded the Employer of the Year.  Now isn't that strange--we're all ICs and the only "employees" are management!  They use ICs illegally and get awarded for it! And here we sit on NJA all the time.    Must have been hard up for nominees is all I can say.  ...


Worst Doctor Award

Now I've heard it all. Patient is 53 yo female, lives alone in a mobile home. Sprained both ankles, unable to bear weight on either ankle. No family/friends to take care of her as they work or in school. Asks if she can go to an assisted living until she is able to bear weight. Doctor tells her to..... get this....  just crawl around her mobile home if she needs to get around. Fifteen years of doing this and I'm so pissed off right now that I feel like writing him a let ...

Webmedx Presents Award To Providers For Front-end Speech Implementation
Sep 17, 2010

This article was from July, I just found it. It may have been addressed back then, and if so I missed it. Here is one part of the article: "Currently in use at several Webmedx customer sites, the ability for physicians to capture documentation using front-end voice recognition and then self-edit their work reduces costs by 60% for every transcribed report." This is the link to the article: http://www.healthcareitnews.com/press-release/webmedx-presents-award-providers-front-end-speech-implem ...
