Make the ILPs - work overtime


Posted: Mar 17, 2015

They're the darlings of this company, after all.

They don't get treated that way from what I gather. - sm

I've heard stories of gyms, massages, paid holidays off, etc. And of course they have a much lower QA score requirement and much lower line count quota, so they don't have to rush and fly through like we do now. I think being an MT over there is an elite thing. Luckily, they're demanding more and more, so maybe eventually it won't be worth offshoring our work.

To Another MME About The ILPs
Dec 17, 2011

Okay, this isn't a big deal and just a pet peave of mine, but have you noticed that the ILPs have a habit of rearranging the order things are dictated to match some unspecified format? For example, no matter what order dictated in the PE, they always put the vitals first, general, HEENT, heart, lungs, etc.  Sometimes dictators like to put the impression and plan first on consults.  The ILPs always move them to the bottom.  Labs are always underneath the PE.  On certain ...

MQ Has To Be Testing The MME/QA With Some Of These ILPs
May 13, 2011

Just to make sure we are going through them 100%.  The mistakes are unbelievable.  For example:  Dictator says clearly (values are different because I can't remember them):  platelet count 100,000, eosinophils 20%.   What is typed:  platelet count 100,000, insulin glucagon level 20%.  What?!  Must have been sleeping through that ASR.  Why isn't ASR learning again?  I get these weird mistakes all the time, even on non- ...


ILPs Getting Worse?
May 18, 2013

Does it seem that the ILPs are leaving blanks for anything and everything lately?  I mean, most of the stuff is clear as day.  Then it goes through 2 ILP QA and they can't get it either, although I have long since realized that the other levels of QA don't even look at the report but just send it on anyway.   After about a year of being trying to be super MME and fixing all the ILP errors in their report (usually 10-20+ per report), I decided I didn't care about it ...


I Feel Like I Am QA'ing ILPs, But I Am Not QA'ing.
Jan 29, 2015

The MM ASR has been resembling what I have seen when I have read ILP work. I am so tired of this constant correction of stinking output. No improvement and often backsliding in the output, and yet we were sent an email by corporate thanking us for collaborating with them to improve the output (?). Everything they thanked us for, I have been told they wouldn't do and don't bother to submit tickets for (like misspellings). Can't wait until I get a new job! Just another se ...

MQ + HIPPA + ILPs = Hypocrisy?
Jan 12, 2010

Okay.  I just finished watching the videos and the HIPPA presentation.  Now that they've put the fear of God in all of us, just how the heck can the Q, with a straight face, suggest or promise to a health care provider that they (the Q) can assure the client the PHI can be guaranteed when sending work to a group of employees who live several continents away and who do not speak English as a primary language.   What a crock!!!!  How many health care providers know their ...


Just Had A Long Day Of QAing ILPs
Mar 04, 2011

Seriously, a lot of them were just like editing a so-so ASR report.  Punctuation awful, sound-alike words mixed up frequently (wear/ware/where, whether/weather).  Things are typed very word-for-word, like ASR would do.  Tenses are horrendous.  They can follow the CP though. Anybody who comes on here stating that ILPs aren't that bad and/or have better English usage than us have either never really proofread an ILP report, have proofread but aren't very good themsel ...

Worried About Being Able To Even Make What I Used To Make Doing
Apr 11, 2011

I seem to be spending an awful lot of time in VR documents, so I am confused as to why I am getting paid less for them.  This stupid VR system types whatever it thinks it might be hearing and sometimes doesn't type anything at all.  I hate this VR.  I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription.  I don't know how I am going to feed my children.  I am a single mom and the head of household.  Believe me the child support isn& ...

I Seriously Don't Know How To Make This Better

I've been working with this company for over 90 days. The first 90 days was a paid internship. Paid hourly, minimum wage. I am now a full time employee...paid on production.   However, I can not even seem to make minimum wage while on production pay! It is driving me nuts and is very discouraging. I'm not sure where to point the finger.   I worked 8 hours, only took one 20 minute break to eat. Over those 8 hours, according to the employers data base, I did around 1200 lin ...

Apparently the account I work on will be going completely offshore.  I am being moved to an account that I know has work (at least for now, not sure how many others will be switched to this one too).  I have to wonder though when will be the point when accounts go offshore and people are just fired.  While people do quit, is it enough to ensure there is still work stateside.  I have things that need to be taken care of.  New tires, new brakes, a new refrigerator, etc.&n ...

after doing report after report?  Most of the reports I do are long, and there are so many incorrect words, looking at the mess that makes so sense, following along with the words,  and correcting literally makes me nauseated.   I feel like my eyeballs are crossed trying to focus in where the dictator is which is hard when the words I see are not the words I hear.  Sure can tell a transcriptionist had no part in developing this crap. I have ...


I Have Never Had So Much Make-up Pay!

After celebrating having no make-up pay last paycheck, I have an absolutely horrific amount of make-up pay this paycheck. The difference?????? Cesspool, a lot of bad audio and even worse ASR output than the normal terrible output. Got told today that my minor error rate is above metrics. They apparently have decided to inflict that on us now, despite the fact that I have passed every audit. They have also been auditing us every day. Gotta measure every bit they can think of! Oh what ...
