NJA radiology SA5 as usual

with CCM requesting folks do schedule changes also as usual these days. I don't know about you, but when told we can "set our own schedule," I took this to believe we create our own schedule and then work it. If the Q doesn't have enough work available for us to do, then why do they still give us this option to do? There's nothing more frustrating to me than signing in to work, not having any, and then being ask to work later. If I wanted to "work late ...

Will have to look in my file, but I believe I haven't made this little since about 1988? ...

it's been downloading a job for about 5 minutes now. Rebooted with same results. Did a speed test and am still downloading everything else fine. Just Fluency server it seems. ...

Just curious if someone can tell me the typical questions asked on phone interviews? ...

I can't remember, is this our usual "slow time", or do you think there is another reason we have so little work right now? This 2-4 hours a day of work is going to suck on the paycheck. ...

I am getting audited 5 jobs a day at least. This is FAR FAR more than ever before. I used to get maybe 1 or 2 a week. I am also noticing much higher dings on these audits. In the same report I got an error for not ADDING an and that was not dictated and then got dinged for ADDING an and that had been dictated. Is this verbatim OR NOT!!! Anyway, it just seems that there is a A LOT more QA auditing happening than usual. Just me??? ...

With the dictator from hell, 16 PGN in a row, and everybody sitting there waiting for somebody else to do him - the catch this time is that somewhere along the line in the last 2 weeks of getting stuck with these every single night is that I learned to understand him! So, I sat there taking all those progress notes that nobody else wanted and only had to send 2 of 16 to QA for blanks this time and my percent to QA still stayed under 5.71% and I got 200 easy lines with nobody snatching ...

What is your usual daily line count? How many hours is that in? Not VR, editing, anything funky - just straight typing. Just curious... Thanks!!! ...

Are any of you ST MTs even sadder than usual today? ...

So QA keeps telling me to review the acct specs as I continue to format certain reports incorrectly. Sigh. I have looked and there is nothing in the acct specs that states anything about formatting, but yet if I say anything, I will be the "bad guy" so I am just going to keep quiet as much as I hate to. I would rather be able to talk with them, but I have enough experience with these people to know how it will turn out:( ...

I hope my final pay is direct deposited, b/c I have bills taken out and cannot wait for the paper check to come in the mail. Does anyone know if final pay is also direct deposited? Thanks in advance. ...

First 3/4, hanging on 150 lph by a thread. Now the usual late-night line-killer doctor a couple of times and a long train of bad audio. Just barely able to get over 110 lph. Oh, and don't forget that 20-minute job during which the doctor had a hard time making up his mind as to what he wanted to say. Performance management here I am. Got my first nudge today. Let's see if they will let me be on line count performance management as long as they did quality ...

Does anyone besides me think that the radiology ASR stinks. On almost every report I am having to change/correct every third or fourth word. And is an, punctuation where it doesn't belong, words left out that are dictated, words put in that are not dictated, etc, etc, etc. ...

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour. Now a local hospital is interested in my helping them out on the weekends with their radiology backlog, and are wanting to pay by report, but I have no idea what the average pay per report should be. Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

Is there anyone in SA5 besides me who seems to have no work virtually every day in the mornings? This lack of work started before Thanksgiving and hasn't picked up yet, at least for me. Anybody? ...

Can someone please tell me what a radiology MLS is? ...

Sounds like "6.7 cm cystic mass with synseptation" Something before septation, either cyn, cin, syn... helllllllp. Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...

Looking for a company that I can just transcribe x-ray reports for. Anyone have any info that could help me please??? ...

Does anyone know what the average daily income is for typing radiology reports at 0.09 line? Thanks. ...

My CCM told me that radiology was never outsourced---so where the hell is all the work. Thanksgiving was a week ago, could it possibly still be that? ...

What's the going rate with Radiology these days? I'm getting $18/hour, but I could be making (much, much) more if I got paid by the line or by the dictated minute. ...

When typing a radiology report, do you send the results/report of a radiology exam to just the ordering provider or the ordering and the family provider? I am trying to find out if there is an industry standard. The hospital I work for is looking at discontinuing sending the family provider a copy. Thank you! ...

Does anyone know of any companies hiring employee status (with medical benefits) for radiology? ...

Anyone transcribing radiology and getting paid per page? If so--how many pages are you averaging per day? ...
