I keep telling my supervisor if this company would treat us well, give us our vacation days back, give us back the pay we deserve, we'd be more than happy to help them out! If she does happen to relay the message, it falls on deaf ears.

What they do not understand is that this is NOT the way to talk to people! You cannot take everything away from your staff and expect them to be loyal. This is the difference between Management and Leadership, which they sadly know nothing about.

From here we drill down and look at the - stats on an individual basis.

What does that even mean, drill down? Oh, and breaking news: M-Modal is a quality driven company.

Actually it takes a couple of months to show when they change things - MT

By their making "pods" and putting every one and their mother on these accounts it is normal to see quality decline. Yet the powers that may (the big shots) are clueless about that. They have never sat and listened to half of these dictators, nor have transcribed them.

It is not the MTs fault. It is the morons who thought this POD thing and made it become reality.

A POD is just a larger book of business like we used - to have. The probem is not

with the POD, it is with the HDSM. Our POD is run like it was intended and I can do more work now than I did before. I have a primary grouping and only when that runs out do I get work from the rest of the POD in the order it is due. It seems to me that it must be really stupid HDSMs that are making the decision not to divide the POD into groups as intended. It is not the higher-ups making that bad decision.

agreed, my POD works really well also - mw

Does anyone feel this way about being an MT nowadays? I am in a cycling club with a doctor and a nurse, and I was very reluctant to let them know what I do for a living, mainly because of knowing how poor the quality of transcription has gotten with offshoring, etc. As a matter of fact, I would have kept quiet about it altogether, but my husband mentioned it at some point during a ride one day. I was mortified. It is terrible to not be proud of one's profession. &nb ...

It is horrible and scary to think of the future (or lack thereof) of medical transcription. All of the MTs I know, including myself have truly liked their job and tried to do the best we could no matter what. We have all bought books, made notes, go online for research, worked evenings, late nights, holidays and so forth, to accommodate the companies we work for and this is the thanks we get. Now I know the economy is in the dumper and jobs are scarce everywhere, BUT, we were t ...

They try to get you to certify as an MT, join our organization they say, some companies (although not many anymore) want you to be a CMT, yet as I went onto the website to look something up, Indian transcription companies are advertising on the Benchmark website? How is that supporting the American MTs and you want us to pay you money every year? Shame on you. You will never get any of my money or support. ...

I am so tired of receiving the frantic emails about TAT, I am tired of being on MOT, I am tired of attempts being made to make the MTs feel like it is THEIR fault the POD has the highest number of unedited jobs in the system. I am tired of groups being blamed for work going out of TAT when the problem is under staffing. We are human. We are limited in the amount of production we can crank out. If high volume is the case for a week or two, I can understand putting in a lit ...

have to offer sign-on incentives to get MTs to apply for work. Obviously they aren't real up on what is being said on these boards about their company and could care less as long as clients are lining their pocket with the money. As long as we work for slave wages nothing is going to change. I am in the same boat as a lot of the MTs, barely getting by. I just had to say... this is my 2 cents worth ...

Received from our TSM this morning... "I have been advised that the minimum quality score for a passing audit will remain at 99.6% through this third quarter of 2014, which is through September 30th. " Guess they figured they would lose too many people for not meeting the 99.7%... Anyone else hear this? ...

Well I see the quality metrics have gone up for the year 2015 at MM. Does this mean that the dictation quality has gone up a grade or 2 also? And oh yeah, the pay is going up, too? Just asking...., ...

"Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!" Per Wikipedia this means "If you play a trick on me and I fall for it, shame on you for fooling me. But if you play a trick on me and I fall for it again, then shame on me for being foolish." Keystrokes cut salaries in February. We were given an opportunity to express our feelings about this. We also had an employee satisfaction survey in March. We were encouraged to be honest. Believe it ...

Is it just my accounts, or has anybody else noticed that their BOB/POD quality metrics have taken a nosedive since they started these PODs? Previously, my BOB would be in the green constantly and we would get praise for it. Now, all I ever see is red..too many criticals, too many major and minor errors. Seems like this whole POD idea is working marvelously. I hope they fail to meet contract and clients start dropping like flies. Of course, that would be our fault. & ...

A lot of the reports I've had in recent weeks have been hard to hear. I'll start to think it's my hearing or my headset, then one will come in crystal clear, and I realize the others are just muffled. Back in the days of tapes, we'd get scratchy, muffled tapes from time to time, but I never would have thought in the year 2014 with digital technology, I'd still be dealing with the same problem. ...

Totally without a job now. I have always had 2 jobs but the way DTS pays line rate based on biweekly production, there was no way to keep a second job or get 7.21 cpl from DTS. I was told EVERYBODY was getting laid off on the hospital account on SpeechMotion... not sure if it was 100% truth or not. ...

Once again, we get another e-mail notice that if we make a mistake of any sort we will not be paid for an entire report. I totally understand the need for accuracy, but this company does not do a true QA review of each MTs/MEs reports. They do not pull X amount of reports per a specified time frame and perform a QA audit. One has no idea how they would rate you on a proper QA score. They do have have a rating per pay period for work that includes what must be sent ...

Is anyone else as tired as I am of the HDSM who can never send out an e-mail that isn't ending in some sort of threat? They can never come out and tell you the truth about anything (losing clients for example), but they sure can sling the threats. I am so over it. ...

Which is correct: "The patient is here for a 3-month followup visit." or "The patient is here for a 3 month followup visit." I was always told in this instance that it is without the hyphen becuase putting the hyphen in it will mean that the visit is 3 months long versus a visit at 3 months' time. Which is the correct way to do this? I got a correction back on a file and I was pretty sure I had it right. ...

upper level people spend the majority of their time on metrics, raking in the big bucks, while they slash those of us actually earning the company money. What's the point of all the statistics, metrics, charts, tables....... Get rid of unnecessary people & use that money to pay MTs better, thereby attracting the best of the best MTs & being able to retain happy employees, and your stats will automatically improve without hiring teams of people to analyze why what you're d ...

I am not a suit. I am happy with my job. I too am tired of the constant bashing and conspiracy t ...

Interesting reading at family practice office this week, publication for Family Physician Practice, saying how software developers are working feverishly on new products for physician offices where they will choose their diagnoses and what-have-you from drop-down menu (yes, that will completely eliminate transcription). Problems arising already with "trials", where docs weren't making "right" choices with their documentation. (They were not taking enough time with modifiers, etc.) It ...
