Triple backlog - sm

Posted: Dec 17, 2014

I don't know if a lot of MTs' 2-week notices are up this week or doctors are getting all their work in because of JCAHO inspections or a combination of both, but in looking at the full backlog (yes, I have access that I requested as an MME years ago), there are nearly 50,000 jobs in the system when typically it's around 16K to 20K. No wonder they're freaking out.

LOL love it!!! - no OT

All the institutions are catching up their - backlogs.

I am getting some really old reports. Makes sense. When I worked on site, besides the end of the year, Medical Records sent out notices for late dictation the third week of every month, so it was always busier too. I have noticed that happen here also.

I know when I worked for a company - that actually spoke to us

They would warn us in advance that JACHO, is it? Was coming through and the docs would be catching up on their dictations. Apparently if they don't get caught up they get put on some kind of suspension list? We used to get copies of the suspension list as well. I forget exactly how it works, its been several years since I worked there. But generally they came through around October and then the docs had x amount of time to catch up or face some kind of penalty..so I assume that is the problem we have now.

Checks were held the last place I worked in-house - MModal2012

if they got a certain amount of time bedhind. We had to keep track of who they did not dictate on. Some would spend a whole week getting caught up, not seeing any patients the whole week.

They even got the PC/QC people working on the backlog - sm

From looking at who is online, it looks like at least 16 PC/QCs are typing with the rest of us. I even recognized someone who is on the auditing team (or was, maybe she went back to being a PC). There are nearly 1000 typers on right now (typically 700 - 800 or so). There are also 1100 ILPs working.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I have been typing quite a few reports from 2011 and 2012. No wonder there are so many jobs. We shouldn't be penalized because they have decided to dictate jobs 3 years later and then want them done ASAP!? That's ridiculous

We've been having late work for 4 days out of every week for awhile now with our TSM calling for OT constantly. The funny thing is, all the accounts that I'm familiar with that are late are ones that do not send overseas (as an MME, I know because I QA the ILPs). Do you think that these hospitals refuse to send overseas and that MModal is going to say that the work was late because of lack of qualified US MTs, and that they should consider sending offshore? ...

Can anyone explain what good backlog reports are or what purpose they serve. Its not like we can pick the hospitals that have the most reports, or we can work overtime to clear out the accounts, or we can jump on the system to clear something out if it is not our appointed work schedule.

Don't know what's going on, but I have had an abundance of my primary yesterday and today. Usually only very few reports and then being jumped around to different accounts during the day, with frequent periods of NJA.

Actually, my account supposedly has a clause in that says they will not allow work to go to India. I don't get it. I'm ...
