q sucks
why not just send directly to client? - why are you sending to QA
[ In Reply To ..]
If there are no reports in the repository and none in the lookup database, why not just send to client. If you get called out by QA, I would say "I felt there was no way to reference wtih no previous reports to look at, so how could QA get them either?"
They gave us that option with FTR, send to client if we feel QA would not get the blanks.
Dont penalize yourself.
I am feeling your pain. Been on new accounts - yesterday and today.

Had to send to QA. Put note that we need something in repository and old reports to LOOK AT, a standard, anything.
I email the QTL -occasionally call. It's their job to - elle

provide proper CP information and resources. There has been a time that the contact QTL didn't know the answers to what was missing in the CP - great way to start a new account (not).

Turnaround Time Transcription Lost Accounts Oct 06, 2012I used to work for 3-T and they lost accounts so we let go. Now have been in touch with them because they have obtained new accounts. Anyone else in this position? I think I would like to work for them again but reading the recent posts about the company causes me concern. The glitch now is about the computer. I can use my own if I upgrade or buy one from company. Not sure what to do here and now I feel like I am getting a bit of a runaround on the subject. My initial excitement is ...
Really Short Reports - Worth My Time? Dec 14, 2012I'm an IC and don't make a great line rate (9 cents/line) but I'm fast and my doctors are easy so it works out to a fairly good rate/hour. My question is I've recently been given a new account with a doc who does reports that are on average only 20 seconds long. I have to cross-reference the day sheets to find the spelling of the patients' names, as well as look up the referring doctors' addresses, etc. I can't stand doing these reports as you ...
Auditing Reports From "helper" Accounts? Aug 24, 2012Up until now (12 years with this company) I have not failed an audit, always 99% or above, and they do an audit once a month on my accounts plus the client audits.
We recently were given "helper" accounts for 2 days when our work got low and I was more than happy to help out, as always. There were many difficult ESL dictators and complicated CPs. I did not think they chose reports from unfamiliar "helper" accounts to do their monthly audits as it had never happened to me before, but I was ...
I'm Currently Doing Nearly Real-time Reports And Not A Single Dictator... Jun 28, 2012is able to finish a complete sentence without losing their thought or incessantly repeating themselves because they keep losing their place. It's getting annoying. I've done about a 1/2 dozen reports so far and NOT ONE has been just a normal dictation. I'm wondering if all these doctors are unable to focus on the task at hand because of what is going on in Washington right now or if it's just a fluke. I mean, I have never encountered anything like this ...
I've Been Keeping Track Of The Time It Takes To Do ASR Reports. Jan 04, 2013Rarely are they taking 1/2 the time of straight typing. The majority are taking at least as long as it would to straight type and some more time. This is all due to the number of corrections and punctation and formatting I have to do!

I Try To Stay Positive, But Every Time I Get One Of These Awful VR Reports Sm Jun 08, 2014I hate Synernet more and more. I know that I have to accept VR, but WHY do I have to be forced to use such a cruddy bunch of software. It doesn't learn anything. I have had to practically re-type the whole report and then get the "honor" of only being paid 4 cpl for it. If the higher ups were forced to endure this, I would bet some changes would be made fast, quick, and in a hurry. ...
You Know Your Job As An MT Sucks When: Feb 08, 2014- You work full-time, often more than 40 hours a week, and you still qualify for food stamps, special rates on your utilities, and partial unemployment because actual dictation you get each day is so sparse.
- Although you're one of the "lucky" ones who has some form of insurance, you still don't visit a doctor because you can't come up with the copayments.
- It's been years since you actually went inside a retail store and bought a new item. You can no longer even im ...

Prefer Short Reports Or Long Reports? Sm Jun 13, 2012Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)?

DQS Spellchecker SUCKS Nm May 01, 2010. ...
Am I The Only One Who Thinks DQS 6.1 Sucks? Sep 04, 2010On paper, some of the changes sounded good, like the auto numbering. But in practice it seems like all this new version does is cause DQS to run much more slowing, constantly locking up, auto-saving (and slowing down) too often, amongst other irritating little things. Why can't their upgrades ever actually be an UPgrade. I think they need to start calling them DQS downgrades.
And what I hate the most is in the ADT screen where you used to be able to just hit enter, ...
Mentoring - This Sucks! Apr 24, 2012I guess we are all going to get mentored at one point or another as I just received an email to set me up for it.

This Place Sucks. Aug 07, 2013The global MTSOs have ruined everything good about becoming an MT.

4. Self esteem - gone
Remember the good ol' days?
These metrics and the micro managing are for the birds. Give me a break.

Ascend Heatlhcare Sucks! Oct 14, 2009Beware anyone thinking about working for Ascend! They are extremely unorganized and chaotic. I don't know why they make you submit invoices - which are very time consuming to prepare - when they will just pay you something different or not at all. They shorted my first paycheck by 1/3. When I was finally able to get in touch with someone, they did send me the adjustment.... but I have not received my last paycheck at all!!! I have tried to contact them several ...
New Teamwork Program Sucks. Why Can't Ever Just May 18, 2011just leave bad enough alone? And I thought we were supposed to be able to make timecard corrections ourselves. I see no place to do that.

My Concentration Sucks...tips? Jul 12, 2011I have a great job working at home editing. I love it. I've been in transcription 12 years but lately have the worst concentration ever. I find myself getting distracted by the Internet..Facebook, Google, Yahoo, CNN. You name it I'm there in between reports. I know I'm not giving it 100% at work and wish I could concentrate!! FWIW I can't sleep either. Total insomniac. I'm not very productive because of this distractibility and it concerns me a lot. Does anyone have tips ...

They all act like we only have work to worry about, they trash you, but never say any good you do. One trainer or QC person grades your work as 99%-100%, another picks apart every comma, period, etc. calling things "critical errors", that honestly aren't! You ask to advance in your position, but no "you're not ready" (after 15 years and previously being a ...
