It does say hospital is outsourcing, so does that mean India?

In the latest example of its support for providers nationwide, MedQuist recently signed an agreement with Child Health Corporation of America (CHCA) for clinical documentation and computer-assisted coding technology and outsourced medical transcription and coding services. MedQuist will implement DEP in-house at CHCA Owner Hospitals as a Web-based solution for clinical documentation workflow.

Outsource vs Offshore - MT

[ In Reply To ..]
The hospital outsources to MedQuist, MedQuist offshores to India.

to your point tho - nonmqmt

"outsourced" does not mean "sent to India" it means sent OUT.

So the Squid is taking over who is already doing the work and they will decide where it goes, and yes, that which can go to CBay likely will.

According to this news article just a few weeks ago CHCA signed a 3-year contract with Transcend.

The article says that Transcend is 1 of 2 preferred - providers of MT services

Must be the other one is MQ. If these are CHCA's preferred providers, I pity them.

http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/medquist-awarded-court-approval-as-stalking-horse-bidder-for-domestic-assets-of-spheris-85356647.html Wow, court okayed and approved for MQ to go ahead and bid on April 13, for Spheris. Plus MQ is coming out with their own EPIC and it causes 70% less dictation. EXPECT NO JOBS AVAILABLE COMING SOON. Also expect getting picked on with your job audits because they want to fire most of us and just keep the BEST OF THE BEST which I h ...

I'm in an HIT program after doing transcription for about 5 years and deciding that I'm tired of being a wandering sheep, and I just read the first chapter in one of my textbooks, which says that "speech recognition software is 95% to 99% accurate." I'll be pointing out in my class that that is a grievous error. ...

I had a HUGE eye opener yesterday. We are not the only ones who are being replaced by software, it is happening in every single industry - I read a big article yesterday announcing this "really cool" (the article's opinion, not mine) new way to place an order at Chili's - on an iPad type tablet that is brought to your table when you are seated - point and click. Then your order goes directly to the kitchen electronically and your dinner is brought to you by a staff member w ...

So, we were just informed that a huge account is being rolled out to EPIC and "assured" there would be "minimal" volume loss. Can somebody who has been through this please give us the true facts? I'm inclined to not want to drink the Nuance Kool-Aid. Thanks in advance. ...

worked for, I must admit that their unrelenting and harsh criticism of my work and their 99.7% plus demand for perfection has made me a better transcriptionist. I now work for a company where I acheive 100% on nearly all audits and had the same experience at another company before this one. I just knew I was better than N or M had me made out to be. ...

I've heard for maybe 10 years now that right now, 2010, is when vast numbers of MTs were supposed to hit retirement age and quit work. What is retirement age? I don't want to retire, but when does a person really need to retire even if they don't want to? ...

Small to medium-sized company lost a very large long-term client. Naturally, the MTs are to blame. Reason given was the work was out of turn around on weekends and MTs did not meet their commitments. I can't say what percentage of MTs did not meet their commitments. I do know that I always have. I also know that I have kept an accurate log of the work on this very large account and 75 to 90% of the time the work runs out on Sunday, with no work available on Mon ...

Anyone else one of the new hires? Are you on the new huge account? I've been twiddling my thumbs now. Guess I need to apply elsewhere. I had been told before it was a good company, but I need to be actually typing. That really is a lot of MTs to hire and then not have the new account begin. I read, below, someone said it keeps being delayed. ...

workflow changes due to a large account being lost (wasn't my primary). Wondered why all of a sudden I was off my primary and getting mostly this account. Of course, they didn't know it was leaving until it disappeared. I'd probably have a heart attack if I every heard the truth. Never know what hospital is going to show up in the queve, more longer transcription jobs, ASR jobs that have to be typed because the ASR does not match up, some horrible dict ...

I've had a huge drop in work at Landmark for the past 3 months. I've been there for 3 years working on the same account the entire time. I've looked at my paychecks during these same exact months for the past years and I had much bigger paychecks, meaning much more work. Here it is a weekend and I had hardly any work yesterday and so far no work today and this account always had work. It's been this way for almost 4 months. Anyone work on the big account that starts ...

I was looking through papers this morning and happened upon the contract MDI had us sign last January as independent contractors, but to be treated as statutory employees for FICA. I didn't see anywhere where it stated an end date, and it did state that the contract was transferrable to any entity that might acquire MDI, if I read and understood it correctly. Does that mean that Transcend was then bound by that same contract? I am just wondering, since our line rate w ...

What happens with my contract with TT if I send all my information to iMedX? Would I then be an employee of iMedX. Can I be fired (by whom) for not giving them my informaton?
