Percent sign around an ASR report - Confused


Posted: Mar 25, 2015

I did an ASR report and there was a word that had a preceding and trailing percent sign, ie %medication%, is this someone's form of a QA marker? I've also seen Dx at the beginning of sentences.

ASR does what it wants - sm

haven't seen that but the Dx garbage shows up all the time. And today new headings are all over the place and random..the best one so far is IS as a heading. I hate this company, I hate ASR

Thanks for replying. I had a dictator where maybe 1 or 2 words were recognized, the rest was virtual gibberish which had to be deleted, and the rest of the dictation filled in.

I've noticed the Dx lately, too - and it seems to be

occur most often when the sound quality is poor, like the dictator is on speaker phone or turning away from the phone.

That's interesting, I'll have to see if that's what's happening, speaking of dictators turning away, I HATE when they are dictating in the recovery room and directing their residents while dictating. I have one that his reports are always at least 20 min!

I get DX when the sound is clear as day - sm

As long as a bunch of other things. The "new" headings ASR is making lately is driving me nuts. Today it made one out of the patient's age, of course, it spelled the age out before it put it in the heading...ugh

So They Audit "1 To 2 Percent" Of Our Lines...
Feb 03, 2015

to get an accurate measurement of any one MT's work!!!  This is true whether the MT ends up with 98% (failing and getting 8 cents or less per line) or 100% (getting top line rate. If you produce 10,000 lines per PP, that's only 100 to 200 lines out of ALL 10,000 lines!!!  And WORST OF ALL, having a range of lines they audit (1 to 2%) gives them the leeway to manipulate things even more.  For example, if they do 1% of your lines and your score is 100 ...

Is This A Sign?
Oct 15, 2010

The other evening at the grocery store, I picked up the newest issue of Employment Guide. You've probably seen it - it's usually by the doors to the store, and it's a nationwide publication. It used to list actual job openings for the local area. Now, though, it seems to be mainly an ad newspaper for schools offering career training. Anyway, what struck me about this issue is that none of the schools that have always advertised in this paper list medical transc ...
