Spheris side of MedQuist - meme

Posted: Jan 28, 2011

I have been hired for Spheris accounts at MQ. I forgot to ask which platform. Anybody know if the Spheris side uses DQS or something different?

Spheris Platform - SpherisMTtoo

Most Spheris accounts are on the Cornerstone Platform.

Great - meme

So I guess this platform is much better than using Docqscribe. How do you like the Spheris platform? Do you do VR work on their platform? Is it easy to use?

Some people hate Cornerstone. I don't mind it so much. I have macros for every heading you can think of so I can fix those or add them in a heartbeat. The panels for demographic information can be a little cumbersome, but once you get a routine down, you can get through them pretty quick. The majority of our work is VR, and at first VR was questionable, but now a couple of years later, I am amazed at how much it has learned and how much better it is. It struggles with a new doctor until it gets used to them, but generally just gets more accurate all the time. I use my mouse when doing VR more than I do the shortcuts they have, but everyone just has to figure out what works the best and fastest for them. When first learning the system I just concentrated on learning 1 shortcut at a time, and then continued using those I liked and abandoned the ones I could do quicker with the mouse.

My account has gotten worse as far as SR. Many reports need - major rewrites. No shortcut for that.

There is no "proof-reading" on my ASR. It is every third word. Whole sentences with nothing right in them. Takes as long as typing. Before you smash me -- you can't F11 every report and not get in trouble. I can't make any lines. Plus all the letter headings and carbon copies to doctors that are not in the facility data base. Horrible.

Cornerstone - BH

We use Cornerstone platform.

You could be using either one. Some MQ MTs who work on Spheris - accounts use DQS.

I have a question, I used to work for Spheris about 5 years ago and am starting with MQ part time first of the year (on my old account even), but I higihly suspect they have switched that platform from TWS. Question is what platform do they use, is it good? Do they supply ShortHand or do I need to furnish my own? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks ...

I had an interview with Spheris yesterday. It sounds too good to be true - more per line than I'm making now, plus production bonus and weekend shift differential? And better insurance too. Okay. I worked for MQ. My check got smaller and smaller as they revamped the bonuses and brought in VR (which absolutely refused to be taught anything). So tell me the truth - would I be jumping back into the same fire with Spheris? ...

I'm not sure if she's describing the GI side effects or if she's describing another type of side effect, or maybe a different medication they tried instead.

I live in IL and I've looked this up, but can't really find exactly what I'm looking for.

I was wondering if I should quit my IC job now, or if that would be a red flag when I file for unemployment. Another thing I've read is that if you accept an IC position while on unemployment, that since it is considered "self-employed" that it could possib ...

I was just wondering if anyone posts here that work for the Nuance Ambulatory Care side of things. All I see here are what appears to be posts from the acute care side and they are not very favorable.

Not crazy about all the logging in to everything (WorldClient, WebClock, Spark), b ...

I now work full time for an MTSO that does Nuance overflow and am relatively happy there. The problem is I need to work part time for several important reasons which I won't go into. Well to do so, I would have to accept a lower line rate (told thems the rules) and have to work fewer hours than I really need to (again told thems the rules). I was thinking I might just do better working directly for Nuance with probably a better line rate and ability to work the number ...
