Whomever is entering docs into ADT should be held accountable. sm

I just had to stop and vent. I am appalled at the quality of dictation these days. The sentence structure, lack of consistency, outright errors and not paying attention to what they are saying. That goes for the stutterers, the repeaters, the ones who start a sentence and then just die off. If you cannot speak clearly and enunciate then you need to HIRE SOMEONE TO DICTATE FOR YOU. Have some respect for the people who have to try and interpret your garbage or GET OFF THE SYSTEM. We cannot i ...

muddling through part of it with umpteen blanks. Now I can send it to QA because of a zillion blanks because this doctor can't speak loud enough or clear enough and I can run the risk of being docked. ...

I am not sure if I am hearing "has had" conservative treatment, she opted for surgical intervention....I am not sure if I am hearing "has held"...any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

stringent TAT when doctors are allowed to wait weeks and/or months to dictate very old reports? I have listened to basically one physician for the last 3 hours or so dictating old reports that should have been done in a timely manner. Oh well, just venting here. ...

I would like to re-enter medical transcription field after 4 years of retirement. Any suggestions on how and what to do to re-enter. Is there a short review course that could be helpful? ...

Hello, need help with entering Qcare ticket for NJA. Entered one and was told I entered it incorrectly and had to redo it. I had the following: Category: DocQscribe subcategory: job not assigning. What are the correct category and subcategory to enter a ticket for NJA? Thanks in advance for you help and direction. ...

How do you re-enter the medical transcription field? Are there any brush up courses online? What is the average pay per line? Any help would be appreciated. Kat ...

Now they want us to sit around and get our time in during the 24 hour day in which we are scheduled to work. As far as I can remember, when I signed up for this job I had to pick a schedule which I was to stick to or be in for consequences. Now..there is no work, which is no fault of the MT and we are supposed to work anytime during 24 hours to make up for it? Who is making out in that situation? It sure isn't the transcriptionist. If anyone falls for that, you are naive.& ...

It happened to tech company LinkedIn, (who should know better!) "LinkedIn agreed to pay nearly $6 million is back overtime wages and damages to employees after a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found the company violated federal labor laws." ...

How is that even remotey fair? ...

As an MT, it just aggravates me to no end to see the same mistakes transcribed over and over by transcription service MTs, or left unedited by VR MTs, and to have no way to inform that MT about the error. Some MTSOs, you know, aren't responsive. It isn't as if they provide a complaint hotline. Decided not to post this in the word help forum, since I am not asking for help with a word. Kind of the opposite. I wouldn't think this MT would be asking for help, ...

I need help and need to know how you all enter your time in TimeSaver. I was told to only enter the time you are actually typing or editing and do not enter the time you are researching or reading work emails, etc., only when your "hands are on the keyboard". So, this obviously won't equal to 8 hours a day just by entering this time, so how do they figure in that we are full-time employees this way? If I only enter 5 or 6 hours a day instead of 8 then they can ...

I would appreciate hearing from anyone (e-mail me if you wish) if you have suddenly got NJA all day today with regard to a bunch of southern Florida accounts (cannot mention which hospital of course, but if you are an MT for them you will know which ones). I e-mailed the person in charge of workload and the explanation was that "difficult dictators" are only being given to those who can do them. I am a tier 3, 7 yrs with MQ and 30 as an MT (so pretty much experienced and been there d ...

Does this sound right. The doctor says "Using an arrow and s/l including a dart device, the radial artery was entered, and a wire was advanced..." Thanks for helping!! ...

After years of thinking about going back to school and then talking myself out of it because I didn't want to face college again at age 40, I decided I need more job security, better pay and growth potential. So I filled out the financial aid forms, enrolled in a couple of classes for the summer, and here I go. I'm a little nervous actually. Been a loooooonnng while since I sat in a classroom, took notes, and took exams. My retention isn't wh ...

I am a coding student at Andrews. I have been looking at coding jobs tonight and came across this one that really got my attention... in a not so good way. Would like to hear your thoughts on this one my friends. http://careerassist.ahima.org/jobseeker/job/10710369/Remote%20Experienced%20Coders/Healthcare%20Coding%20&%20Consulting%20Services%20(HCCS)/?vnet=0&t731=39387 HCCS Remote Coding R&D Specialists are working on the most advanced and exciting CAC p ...

sounds like: "hand saids were held" since the patient had a history of hematemesis ...

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 ...

This is on my Facebook page: "then all your doing is in vein!" Lord help us, they are everywhere~~ FTR Facebook? ...

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. ...

Had an appt with my doctor; she was slowly typing as we talked. I asked her how she liked typing her own records. She said she hates it but has no choice as it is required now. Apparently some companies are telling the hospitals that EMR is required by law. That isn't exactly true, and the companies (such as MQ) do a lot of fibbing and twisting of the truth. While it will be required that medical records be electronic....HOW they get there is where they are fib ...

People are not doing a full listen/correction. There are some pretty blatant errors, and these errors are being repeated by subsequently dictating physicians who are obviously using other documents for information (as it should be). Blatant errors such as allergy to medications that don't even exit, blatant lab errors that are counter to some of the diagnoses. I shamefully admit to not doing a full listen when I first started voice recognition was back in the beginning, but quickly noted ...

Had to go to an old report to copy/paste meds. Read over report to be sure I had other items correctly transcribed (doc dictating at FAST pace)... he signed off on this old report with the glaring error of "pick line" in place!! It just worries me what else is glossed over in the name of 'time and profit'.. ): ...

How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT. This vent brought to you by me getting too ...

On VR, many times a day I hear part of a word like "s" which might be "it is" but if I add that, I might get a Nuance error. But if I don't add it, it would be an error. Depends on the QA person. You really can't tell when listening to it. This is multiple times a day!! Management should make a decision and tell us that it's not important - that we should concentrate on the important parts of the report. I add multiple blanks to each report where I d ...

Night after night I pretty much do the same doctors (not that I am complaining about that), but sometimes I get frustrated because I am floored at how these doctors can get through medical school and NOT KNOW how to pronounce medical terms and medications!!! This doctor pronounces tubal ligation as "Tubical ligation" and she is always mispronouncing names of medications! There are many, many other med terms she flubs! I fear for the patients so I try and match up whatever ailment they ...

I have had a dictator who always downgrades whatever pain score someone gives. For example, he says things like, "The patient says his pain level is 7/10, but I think it is really only a 3." I have really never heard him agree with a patient's pain score, and I thought the point of pain scores was to find out how the patient was feeling, not how you thought s/he should be feeling. It's kind of funny, but I would not want him for my physician. Just wondering if o ...

About VR? Yesterday, I went with my fiance to his post-op followup appointment. As the nurse was taking us to the exam room, she told us the doctor would be right with us, he was dictating his clinic notes from the morning. We had to walk by his office, and his door was wide open. He was sitting at his desk dictating into his phone, which was lying on his desk, had the speaker phone on, going a mile a minute, slurring, skipping words/entire phrases, all while eating somet ...

But I noticed when my son graduated from college, it was a mid range college in no way an ivy league school, that he spoke very intelligent, used correct grammar, and actually formed correct sentences. I made mention to him, that in listening to his friends talk, I was VERY impressed and happy they actually learned something in school..He said, "I don't see why, that's what they teach us in college, this isn't high school anymore mom." I'm just not hearing it out of these d ...
