2013 Pulse Survey - sm

At the end of the survey, there is a section for comments. Although I'm sure this survey will change/help nothing, being able to leave this comment did make me feel a little better: By far, this is the worst company I've ever worked for in over 25 years. Punitive QA and FIESA errors counted as major, which are NOT. At Webmedx, I received an incentive for lines typed, NOT based on trumped down QA scores to keep me from obtaining it. Since Nuance entered my life ...

How would I write "pulse ox" in this sentence? "Still not interested in an overnight pulse ox, which I wanted to get last visit." I've seen it every which way (pulse ox, Pulseox, PulseOx, etc.) online and I'm not entirely sure which one is correct, if any. Thanks!! ...

I'm trying to figure out what this doctor means. He's dictating the vitals signs and says "pulse DT and regular." He's clearly saying "DT" (not "DP" or "PT"), but I can't reference it anywhere. Any help? Thanks :) ...

I am confused. Doctor dictates "Pulse ox was 93 with 100% saturation." I thought pulse oximetry was the percent of oxygen saturation? ...

Is it possible for a patient to have a pulse rate of 178? That seems really high and doesn't help when the doc is mumbling, but that is what she says. As a background, the pnt is 66 years old and is in for chest tightness and difficulty breathing and has had sob for 3 days. 178 seems high, but unsure if its okay ...

So how did everyone do this year working as an MT? I earned about $36,000. Wished it was more :( ...

Is it pretty much the same as 2007 and 2010? ...

I just listened to the recording and now i'm wondering how is my pay going to be determined. See my account holds clinic and acute care mixed all together. So which rate will I be paid and why is it that nobody can answer this question w/in the company that I have asked thus far. I also love that in the beginning of the recording on the presentation is states that we will be compensated for ALL time spent typing and editing to include research, proofing and demographics. ...

It's time for a new PC, and I found a great deal on a brand new one that comes loaded with MS-Office 2013. It took forever to get used to 2010. Anyone here had experience with 2013? Pros and cons, please. ...

Just saw a posting below where this year we would have a title of business associate instead of ICs. What does this mean to us in any way. I only know the very basics of HIPPA, not how this would differ now. Thanks. ...

I was at MModal's website and saw that the AIHMA convention is actually going to be in Atlanta next week. I live in Atlanta and was wondering if anyone has ever been to one of these conventions? It looks like it mostly pertains to coding and upper management, but several companies are going to have booths there. They have a 1-day hall expo pass for $75. I'm just wondering if it might be worth my while to go. I thought it might be worthwhile just to get a ...

AHDI is encouraging me to seek financial support from my employer so I can go to the annual convention this year. Is this email a joke? I can't even make a living wage from my employer so I can eat and pay the bills. What's wrong with these people??? ...

Is Word 2013 backwards compatible with Word 97-2003? I am having to upgrade to a new computer since my work computer just died after several years. If I get Word 2013, will the hospital and clinics be able to read the documents? They are running Word 97-2003. I was previously using Word 2010 and had no issues. Is it possible to just buy a new license for my disc of Word 2010 after using up the three installs? ...

I tested with the company and about 2-3 weeks later, received an email from them stating I had done well on their test and was offered employment as an IC. In order to test for them, I had to install Google Chrome (making for a total of 4 internet browsers now on my computer). I felt the testing procedure was a bit cumbersome, but managed to muddle my way through it. However, the test was a piece of cake, when compared to actually working for this company. You HAVE to use ...

Hope someone can help me with this one. I recently updated to Windows 8 and Office 2013. As of about five days ago my deleted messages are NOT showing up in the deleted items folder. Not sure if I inadvertently changed a setting, or what the problem could be. I'm using Comcast email, IMAP account. Thanks!!! ...

Hi. I just switched computers this week (grumble) and my old linecount software doesn't work. I need a line count software (easy to use, cheap? free?) that works with Microsoft Word 2013. Any ideas? thanks ...

I've noticed that some companies are insisting on 2007 or 2010 Office systems, depending on what their platforms support. I currently work for a company whose platform is compatible with Office 2013, which is what I have on my PC, but we're running out of work more and more. I need to find another company that will accept Office 2013. Are there are any others out there? ...

Need to buy MS Word for my new job. However, when I purchased the 2007 version online it was an "academic version" only. Can't use that. I guess I have to buy a newer version, like 2010 or 2013, but it seems like the only way to do that is via download and then you pay a subscription of ??? per month or year? This is fine by me IF the company will allow that. I just want it to be legal and a licensed full version...obviously the one I purchased online was NOT.& ...

any trouble with Word not responding. This happened to me a couple months ago, Geek Squad saw nothing wrong, it stopped happening and then today it happened 3 times within an hour. Unfortunately I have to terminate the program, lose my work, reboot the system (or it will be extremely sluggish) and then it works fine. I am wondering if it has something to do with FileFort Backup or FastFox which downloaded when I purchased Express Scribe. Any help would be appreciated! ...

I would like to know how anyone who graduates from Career Step and can not find a job for a MT...I am a graduate of March this year however not with honors.

Any suggestions on places who give graduates a chance?? ...

I just bought a computer with Office 2013 and want a medical spell check on it. Any suggestions? ...

Resolve to make a fresh start for 2013! Map your career path with Nuance Transcription Services! As if I any one in their right mind wants to work for a company with such high standards that they are unattainable to most. This underpaying J.O.B. is really not blowing my skirt up anymore! ...

My speech rec continually transcribes "pulse ox" as "pulsox". I have never seen it this way before -- thoughts on whether this is an acceptable format (since abbrevs are allowed) or should be changed to "pulse ox". Thanks! ...
