Quick question for any MME/QAs - curious


Posted: Jul 14, 2011

I'm just recently an MME.  In the Transcribed By box in the demographics screen I usually see: 

MT/CCM/tier nameofMT

In the first part, I know what MT, ME, and MME stand for, but I have been getting an S, #S, or SE lately.   Does this mean student?  I'm just curious as it would explain the quality.   Thanks!

Nevermind - figured it out. nm

Could you let us in out it? Is it student? Or ILP? - Kiki

aka indians. That could explain the quality as well. I see weird mistakes from ILPs that I'm sure an US MT student would not make

Neither - just me being stupid

It's the region the MTs are in. S - South, SE - Souteast. Not sure what #S is though. I had one of those duh moments. I thought it used to tell what position they were in too (MT/ME/MME), but maybe I'm just getting old.
But you're right - addendum

quality is awful right now for some reason. It's taking me forever to get through a report. A lot of new people I think.

Why Are They So Quick To Dock Our Pay?
May 30, 2015

Why do they make such a big deal out of an error, including sending e-mails saying "ERROR ALERT" or making a 3-point error a "critical patient safety error," then docking your pay for same, but if you go back to look at the document or to listen to it again, which you can in Escription, they have NEVER CORRECTED THE ERROR??? I don't think they are that concerned about errors, other than to dock our pay and to shame us. If they were, they would correct the error in the original documen ...
