So sick of listening to these foreign doctors

I know it's "our responsibility" to make sure the data are correct (data is plural so "are" not "is" is correct)...... but three reports today, all History and Physicals, where the doctors punched in the patient code as "O" meaning outpatient. I believe this is now considered a critical error if I had left it as "O." What if I was preoccupied, as we humans sometimes are, and didn't notice that? They could use that as an excuse to fire me or "write me up." ...

I RECEIVED EMAIL BELOW. It was sent to my email address by responding to one of my MTSTARS Post. Hai, I am a medical transcriptionist from Sri Lanka, and have been a medical transcriptionist for the past five years. Presently I am employed as a medical transcriptionist but working for a pi ...

Any advice or recommendations on understanding foreign accents? ...

If I could transcribe for this doctor on a daily basis, then I might finally learn his pronounciation of medical terminology. I have no idea what he is saying...........It is important that valium not be administered for DTs until the patient’s arterial blood gas ______ is _______. Sounds like he is saying "arterial blood gas bestla is esogrich. Could he mean breathalyzer maybe because he is alcoholic? I have no clue what he means by esogrich. ...

Is anyone else at Nuance getting foreign doctor dictations constantly during their shift? I do not mind doing a few at a time but having to do a full shift of foreign doctors is getting very trying. Thanks! ...

A friend of mine who works in a medical office told me this afternoon that they've started getting records that are transcribed overseas. She said the records are done so badly that they can't use them, can't trust that the information in them is correct. When I told her my job may go away soon & be sent to India, she said "it can't!" She said these records are obviously done by people who don't speak English. What I don't understand is how work can still be off ...

Hi All, Because of family "emergency" I may have to go overseas for a few weeks. I'd like to keep working because I don't have any leave available right now. I'm wondering if any of you out there have ever brought your laptop and worked from a foreign country. If so, were there any technical issues? I know some websites have their access blocked from certain parts of the world and I'm wondering if DocQScribe and DocQManage have any issues like that. ...

I'm looking for a list of medical terms widely used in the US that have come from other languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German). An example would be "peau d'orange" to describe skin like orange peel in breast cancer inflamations. Has anyone seen such a list on the web ? ...

I am really really really (times pi) sickened but I figure if I write it here I can go to work and try to hang in there. I got the quarterly bonus and qualify for most times the weekly ones (depending on OOW situation and or if there are so many ESL a week I can't get the goal lines). Anyway, I have this high QA score on my weekly time sheet which is figured quarterly. Now, for the past 2 weeks, I am informed by TL that my quality is 98.6%, that I have in excess of 50, yes 50 critical error ...

Hello, can someone please give instructions on how to listen to old reports after you get FIESA scores. Thanks ...

I caannot get my Windows Media to work or whatever is used to hear QA reports in DQS. A black screen comes up but tells me the file is opened elsewhere. I always was able to listen to reports that had been Q/A'ed in the past. Has anyone had a problem like this? I dread having to call the tech support as I can hardly hear them or understand them. Thanks for any help. ...

Dear Nuance: Have you been reading ANY of these posts? Do you see the discontent? Do you feel the anger and worry you see on this page? Or are you too busy driving your nice cars and eating in fine restaurants to worry about the people who actually make the money for you? I know I'm ridiculous for just wondering if you feel even the smallest twinge of guilt,but I like to think that people still have some humanity left. Do you think about the families tha ...

I can see from all these posts that they have made it as difficult as possible to understand this new pay plan. Can anybody tell me when it goes into effect and when we individually will know what our personal rates will be? TYIA. ...

I this just wishful thinking on my end to do I remember when they first switched to the new Fiesa a way to actually listen to reports from there so we can check our work? ...

and not once has she NOT been sniffling, sneezing, snorting, and swallowing/gulping down her own snot. Clean your nose out, already! These noises are really gross, I can never get through a whole report without stopping to gag. She is also a low-talker, so I can't just turn the volume down. OK, vent over. ...

I tried to go back and listen to a dictation that I got docked on in fiesa. I got an error message saying I needed Active-X which I installed, but still cannot get the audio to play. Any suggestions? is there someone I should contact about this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! ...

Is anyone else having trouble listening to their post audit jobs? I have tried everything and can't seem to make it work. It's hard to fight an error when you cannot listen to the job again. I am am also finding that I am getting a lot or errors that I know are not true thus killing my quality score. ...

Okay, I know there is a way to listen to our old reports but for some reason I cannot do it anymore. When I open up the dictation search and click on the speaker button to listen, I get a blank escription audio window that pops up with nothing. Any ideas? ...

Today I had the misfortune to have 2 lo-o-o-ng reports by the same dictator - I suspect someone else had him before me and said No Thanks and passed him on to me. He wouldn't have been bad at all if he'd just speeded up about 5 times faster, and if his son had not been listening to cartoons about 3 feet away. Actually, his mentation was so slow, it was probably his grandson listening to cartoons. At one point, he turned around and asked the kid to turn it down some, a ...

Because I need my job I bite hard everyday to continue with MQ. Being an MME is horrible when you are paid 3 cpl to full listen ILP. I get paid more to ME my own ASR reports which take me sometimes just as long. Each time the situation is mentioned on how unfair it is to only get 3 cpl to full listen ILP reports we are always told that it really isn't that many reports....funny I did over 90 of them in a pay period and they aren't short reports ever always long... ...

Holy Crow....I knew there were changes made, but didn't think that everything changed. Nothing on the screen looks the same, starting with the log-in screen which is the only thing that looks simple to use. There are stupid panels everywhere, top, bottom, left side, right side, and the poor text screen is kinda squished in the middle. It looks waaaay more complicated than how it is now. I just want to cry. I really had no idea that it is basically going to invo ...

Town Hall meeting do we put 1 hour or 1/2 hour? The conference call lasted approx 30/40 minutes but his email said 1 hour. How much time did you put in Teamwork for this? ...

.....and guess what song comes on......"Get a Job" LOL!!!! ...

From the KevinPho MD site: There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine. There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

Only warrants periodic scans. If anyone comes back at me for that, they can listen to 64 minutes of nothing themselves. If the doctor dictated, too bad he did not follow protocol = put the dictation on hold when not dictating or hang up the phone! ...

That's what I found MQ advertising while I went searching for another job. Just what does it mean though? They certainly aren't listening to us. Are we supposed to be listening to their innuendos of salary cuts, unattainable demands, losing our jobs to India to understand and get inspired to find another career? Who comes up with this double-talk anyway? Probably the same person that writes our corporate e-mails. ...

If you get sick, as in in the middle of your shift, like asthma flaring, feeling worse than when I started this morning and will be lucky if stay out of hospital, kind of sick, CCM off, who do I contact? regional team lead? ...

This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job. Everything has been changed after 12 years of doing it one way, and if I do it the way the doctors have dictated/still dictate for years I get an email about how I need to follow the new rules. This is one QA person that has decided to change everything. We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...
