So sick of docs with 12-inch thick tongues! They should have to use front-end SR! NM

They now cut our PTO and are threatening us if we don't have all our hours in because THEY are out of work..Oh yea and at least 150 lph and 99.6% is it now accuracy..When I can't understand a doc now, I will not go in past reports, I will leave markers..I will go for a second listen once the report is done but the old Above and Beyond crap is gone!! ...

When did it start being okay for companies to accept and accomodate docs who put out garbage and then require the world of us MT's? I have worked in the medical setting in various capacities, so I know how docs are and I am used to it. However, when it comes to something as serious as transcribing thier reports and getting it right you would think they would do there best to at least try to speak soem what clearly.....the wost part is that these are not even ESL's that I sp ...

It takes just as long to listen to the file (most of which is unintelligible) and leave huge areas of blanks, so we make next to nothing for the report. Garbage!!!! I know...nothing will ever be done about this. ...

Here's my observation for a Sunday for what that's worth No matter what aspect of Nuance you work in, be it MLS OR QC, you are never good enough, never fast enough, never perfect enough, you are not the mind reader they had hoped they had hired. If you pore over a job to leave fewer blanks, you are too slow. If you try to meet production, you leave too many blanks. Oh, and don't try to point out errors on the account specifics cuz chances are they will never g ...

Good morning! Confused! How do you transcribe 2" x 2" correctly? ...

My doctor is excising some tissue from a child's fingertip and goes along merrily talking in centimeters, then suddenly pulls a fast one and says: ten one hundredths of an inch Great. A Google search has just left me doubting myself completely. I found one reference that says "0.010 is ten thousandths (same as one hundredth)." So does this mean I need to type "0.10" (if that is really the correct numeral for this dimension), or should I just write it out as "ten ...

Cardiac cath report: A 0.04 or 0.014 inch sounds like SI Pro AutoFlex guidewire was then used... I don't know if this is a brand name or what. Thanks ladies :) ...

Hospital where I worked before being outsourced kept a friend of mine on for QA. Now they don't outsource at all. Using a program like Dragon and the doctor dictating has to edit his own report. And QA is auditing the doctors! If the report is not accurate, the doctor is written up. No more blaming the MT for their mistake. ...

How would you type the above? I'm going blank, lol! TIA ...

are the lucky ones. (see below threads) I have received emails of many being just laid off without warning and MAYBE a week's notice. Take this as a warning people! We work at home and don't know what is going on until it is too late-except for MT STARS. GET IT? ...

5 feet or 5 foot. I think it should be 1 foot and anything over 1, then feet, but now its sounding weird. I always type feet. Just wondering what other people do. ...

I agreed to do some work in coverage for someone and the doctor sent files directly. He uses an Olympus recorder that uploads on AS-4000 Pro Player platform. Once uploaded, it sends each voice file out by encrypted email. So I got the .dss file but it comes as .$dss In addition to the voice file, there is an .html file that contains the header information for the recording. I downloaded the DSS Lite Player, but it doesn't recognize the file. Before I start d ...

This article was from July, I just found it. It may have been addressed back then, and if so I missed it. Here is one part of the article: "Currently in use at several Webmedx customer sites, the ability for physicians to capture documentation using front-end voice recognition and then self-edit their work reduces costs by 60% for every transcribed report." This is the link to the article: http://www.healthcareitnews.com/press-release/webmedx-presents-award-providers-front-end-speech-implem ...

I'm a former MT who decided I couldn't live "peaceably" with VR (LOL) and left MT a few months ago. I've had some trouble finding a job outside of MT since then, though. I'm willing to branch out, but I suspect that after many, many years of doing MT, some employers aren't willing to take a chance that I'd be happy long-term in a less-challenging job. (The applications I most often get a response from are medical-type jobs.) Maybe they'r ...

MQ told us at one point to use that ponderous webmd.com website to find docs. In my state I use the state medical assn website to find docs. TODAY the office manager for my local docs told me about the NPI website for all states. Any doctor in practice has to have a # to be billed. This is THE PLACE to go to find any docs you need to check on. https://nppes.cms.hhs.gov/NPPES/NPIRegistrySearch.do?subAction=reset&searchType=ind ...

I mean if they aren't going to enunciate a darn thing and they are so determined to get the whole thing done in 30 seconds and they don't care that there are blanks, why do they even bother? Please doctor, point and click was invented for you. I urge you to investigate it. ...

Yep, what genius came up with front-end SR?! Obviously - sm

Oh but it is coming. I wish I could see their faces when it does - some of these deserve it
