failed audit Ridiculous - pfffffft

Posted: Mar 25, 2014

Ridiculous. Nobody can maintain 99.7% accuracy for the long-term. They're probably going to fire me anyway so to heck with it, I'm just typing away. Whatever.

Yep, just type your butt off and do the best you can - anon

My audits are barely getting a glance from me anymore. I'm going to do the best that I can do, same as I always have because it really is true that if they want you gone bad enough there will be any number of ways they can get you.

The biggest difference on my end is, that I'm working my butt off because if they fire me you can bet I'm at least going out with the biggest pay check possible.

I look and see what I got marked down on; most of it seems to be grammar. I don't sweat it unless it is a critical error; otherwise I delete the email and move on. Can't believe I used to cry about them.

At least I'm in good company - sm

so over this..They can't possibly fire all of us. Cause by the glassdoor reviews, the Indians are fed up as well..Whatever, not gonna sweat it

even if it is a critical error what can you do about it? - we are all human

VR got it wrong too and they are a computer!

Me too - I got a warning about my LPH being - whodat

low so I now type it and send it ~ no more proofing! My lines have increased dramatically. Let's hope my quality doesn't suffer! I have always been more of a quality-minded MT rather than trying to be the highest producer, but geeeez can't seem to strike a happy medium any more so just type and send and hope for the best:)

I also got a warning about LPH, now just type and send. I plan on making (sm) - stressed to max

as much as I can before I get canned, which can't come soon enough!

I'm a miserable failure at 99.6%, was told to strive for company standards of 100%. I wonder if anyone's cracking the whip over the ones who make up this impossible-to-attain standard. It's such an insult. I'm trying not to let it get to me though.

Don't. Don't let it get to you. - anon

Try and keep it in perspective - it's not you ... it's them. We all need to go into "self-preservation mode" and protect ourselves from allowing this absolutely ridiculous standard to DEFINE us as employees. FAR too many of us have been allowing these ridiculous audits to affect our self-perception in our abilities and we need to just stop it. We need to put our armor up against it. "We're doing our best, we'll continue to do our best, but your failing me in my audit is no longer going to make me doubt myself." Notice I didn't say I FAILED - I said I was failed.

In EVERY OTHER CAREER, 99.6% proficiency is considered exemplary. If you were a teacher with 99.6% proficiency in teaching kids how to read, you'd be considered teacher of the year material. If you were a doctor with 99.6% cure rate of diseases, it would be unheard of.

If we were MModal, paying 99.6% of our bills, we would gasp in amazement and be considered a huge financial success.

KEEP IT IN PERSPECTIVE. 99.6% is an excellent, excellent score. Just because it's not good enough for this ridiculous requirement doesn't mean we're failures. Quite the opposite. It means that's just the way that MModal chooses to see us.

Yes, but if you worked at Nike... - chillywinter

Remember that silly e-mail we received? If you had worked at Nike and only achieved 99.7% you would have sent out over 1,000 pairs of mismatched shoes! Wish I would have kept that e-mail now...

If they are 'gunning for you', no error is too small, and any that contribute to the lower than 99.7% level will place you in QUALITY IMPROVEMENT program, which is the euphemism which means 8 total audits of less than consistent scores AND THEY HAVE CAUSE TO TERMINATE... likely also cause so they don't have to pay unemp benefits!

Sorry this is repeated. I got thrown out and have been trying to find my way back!

So, I failed another "audit". I have to bounce back and forth between at least 10 accounts, therefore 10 different client profiles AND have to keep up with the ever changing QA preference of the day!

Pinging in and out. Getting booted off. Losing reports. And what slow reports are coming through are all wrong...wrong patients...wrong data in ASR.

One of the docs upset because many of us are leaving the word "and" out of one of his sentences so we got an email instructing us to make a note of this. Never mind that he dictates at the speed of light on a speakerphone, we need to be sure we get every single little word. Heaven forbid anyone should ever tell these docs it is their responsibility to slow down and make sure they are understood. ...

My team is required to be signed into a conference in Spark when working our account. That is not a bad thing, in fact it is quite educational because I am seeing just how ridiculous everything is. The account is verbatim, you only type a heading if it is dictated. Someone is worried that the doctor said Procedure for a heading naming the procedure and then later used procedure when beginning the real procedure. That MT was worried about getting dinged if she changed the ...

Talked to the recruiter 2 weeks ago tomorrow (Friday, after her postponing the interview on Wednesday), she was very nice was told the paperwork would be send Fed Ex after not receiving it was told the gal in fhe office was out and would be sent later, and of course based on a "background check" etc -- with training to supposedly start 06/14/2010 -- I have since accepted two positions and if I were an MT, I would be VERY leery of this company -- a month to start is ridiculous especially wh ...

As with most of you, my pay from Medquist has taken a total nose dive ever since ASR went to 85% while at the same time cutting our transcription rate down for ASR from 70% to 60%. That's a 40% pay cut!!! I've had to take another job elsewhere to try to make ends meet. Besides that, our health benefits are the absolute worst and get worse every year. Can anyone ever remember any kind of cost of living raise? I used to make $36,000 annu ...

What is wrong with these companies! That type of transcription is a minimum of $1.00/min!! You have to look up so much drug terminology and who knows what the audio quality could be like. I can't believe they have the NERVE to offer $.07/A LINE!! And as usual, they are targeting the "newbies" who they can take advantage of, rip off and pay slave wages to - they are right up there with that other company who posts jobs for general transcription - the name of which escapes m ...

This is soooooo ridiculous, my blood is boiling. The doctor dictated: "Continue vancomycin and will obtain a vanco trough and further dosing recommendations." I get it back as a minor error. She changed it to: "Continue vancomycin and we will obtain a vanco trough . . . She's acting like he put a contraction in there such as we'll. That's purely a judgment call. No wonder we're getting emails complaining about our high ra ...
