This company is so top-heavy, they need to change the name to - Dolly Parton TITscription


Posted: Feb 02, 2012

just saying... look..I don't begrudge any of these business school graduates their right to validate their jobs by writing ridiculous nonsensical doublespeak tomes to impress their market share holders..but in the end this is a simple business which they have ruined. 

The docs dictate the crap

We type the crap

We send the crap back

And it's available to view. 

How this information is managed and accessed of course improves with technology, but Medquist or MModal, or Dolly Parton TITscription is what is because of WE the MTs.  We are their labor force, a profession that is production work, yet we are not set up as such (clock in???), we have no incentive or commission, we are held to impossible 99% standards that NO OTHER profession on the earth is held to. 

I was ROGLMAO reading that completely ridiculous corporate dingy. 

I would clean house so fast, I would pay top dollar to keep TOP MTs on-board who would make STARTING salaries based on production of 50,000 on up.  I would require way more LPH and have reasonable QA at 97%..and I mean REASONABLE...pertaining to medical information, lab values, and clearly MTs who care about their work.  This means many MTs, sadly would not be able to work here, they could not cut it.  AND I would BURN the stupid timeclock.  MTs agree to a timeframe schedule and their work better be done in that timeframe..I do not care if it takes you 30 minutes or 8 hours to get your production in. 

Of course ventually VR and EMR and what hospitals agree is acceptable (have you ever seen an EMR generated report not edited??  I have..they are laughable..different fonts, standard phrasing)..but whatever..if the medical profession agrees this is acceptable..then that is the way it will go..BUT UNTIL THEN...we should be making what we deserve. 

Maybe that would understand it if I put it this way: 

Due to obvious lack of infrastructure support leading to breakdown in individual productivity and work-based morale, Dolly Parton TITscription will immediately institute fair compensation for the true genus of the revenue-producing work force.  Effective forthwith, US-based MTs and editors will be compensated at LPH rate commisurate with production and expertise.  This decision was based on two facts:

1.  They deserve it.

2.  We would not be able to transcribe our way out of a corporate retreat in Boca Raton.

 

 

 

 

 

Love it and thank you - get on the damn board, will ya

With Heavy Heart

It is with heavy heart that I am giving up my career as a transcriptionist. After 19 years of transcription, with all the changes to the industry, I can no longer make the kind of money I used to make without working multiple jobs and endless hours just to get a decent line count. I have taken a wonderful position in another industry and I am looking forward to my new adventure. First time in many years (longer than I can remember), I will be working Monday through Friday with all the hol ...

Am I The Only One Who HATES These Heavy Logitech Headphones?
Apr 07, 2012

I hate these stupid headphones, they are heavy, I do not need a Britney Spears mic..and the cord twists onto itself so bad it is impossible to get a good fit.  Once again..they do not consider what an actual MT needs, just send stupid generic headsets for air traffic controllers and pop stars and do not for one second consider what would work best for us.  I hate having to fit it around my head, it guts stuck in my hair.  Yes..the sound is fine, but the torture of wearing these th ...

It seems too wacky to me to to turn down an opportunity because it might be too many hours for me alone when I can outsource some of the ...

We are a pretty big company, and we think we know what transcriptionists want, but it doesn't hurt to ask.  There are a lot of top people in our industry that are finding themselves without jobs, often without notice, both managers and transcriptionists.  I think that the tide is turning, and that we need to make sure that we treat our people right, so if you could take a few minutes and answer this, maybe we can make a difference.  I am asking for real answers, ones that ar ...
