Grading with FIESA - llm
Posted: May 08, 2012
Are there no B's given on this? I have checked it each day since I started (which was just a few days ago). I either have A's or C's (with a percentage of 97 or 98%). Today I typed 27 reports and got 100% accuracy on 25 of those and 2 that had C's but my overall grade was a C!!! What am I missing. Since I am technically still on 90 day "probation" it worries me. I am typing well over the line count required and have made no "major" mistakes. Help please explain to me
Hang in there - Nuance QC-frustrated
[ In Reply To ..]I would not worry about that at all unless you are continually making 3 point crucial errors; then I would worry. Not sure if you're a non-DSP (direct submission yet), but hang in there, those Cs mean nothing. I've never paid attention to them and I get them at times too and I'm a QC.
Thanks - llm
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks. I have only been working for a little over a week so far. I haven't made any 3 point errors. Just small ones that add up to bring me into the 97% range. Should it be Gy or gray?? When I looked it up on prior reports it is done both ways - I sent a note to my supervisor and she wasn't even sure but told me to use the abbreviation
At least you're getting work to do...my supervisor is - USELESS.
[ In Reply To ..]I've been here 6 weeks now and have had 3 out of the last 5 days with NO work. Follow the protocol, still nothing.
Plenty of work - llm
[ In Reply To ..]I have been waiting to run out but so far have yet to even go to my second account. Probably a good thing so I can get this one down first. I get an email back within the hour so far when I have had to email by supervisor. That part has been fine.
FIESA Grading - report card stress
[ In Reply To ..]Every working hour I feel like I'm back in school. It's report card time or it's time to be fed to the alligators.

Need Help Understanding A Fiesa Grading, If Possible
Sep 17, 2014
Does anyone understand why they take off an entire point for a lab value that is 1 point off? Such as a glucose level of 230 and is transcribed 231? This doesn't effect patient safety or treatment. I can understand a discrepency that is a significant difference or would change treatment. This is a minimal error and should be graded accordingly. ...
Low Score On FIESA With New Grading System
Jun 24, 2013
Hey guys..have a question. This quarter is over this week and with the new grading system they have implemented for post-audits my QA score is quite bad at about 96% to 97%. I have never had a low score like this ever in my career and have always been between 98.5% to 99%. Have any of you experienced a low final score for a quarter before and if you have what happened to you? Did they have QA work with you or was it like instant termination. This new grading system is so very stressful :( ...

My New Grading System
May 13, 2010
It's simply unfair that MQ pays me the same same whether I do a normally dictated report, or one that is handicapped. Handicapped reports obviously take much more time to finish. Here's my new grading system for leaving markers. It's how I'm going to grade the documents that are necessary to include blanks in case they are thrown back at me for any reason. It gives me ammunition to fight back. Each subject gets a point (which to me ...

Why Did I Look At FIESA????
Aug 26, 2012
I knew I shouldn't have looked at my FIESA from Saturday but I did. Majority are 100% so for that I am grateful but THEN there are the others where you are marked off for stuff that make no sense and then there are the stupid errors that I did and will own up to and wonder where my brain was when I was typing - I think my brain was so worried about being marked off for every little thing that I honestly can't concentrate sometimes like I need to. ...
FIESA...
Sep 14, 2012
I know we complain and complain about this on here and we fight and argue with the TLs about this...I was marked off half a point for EACH blank that I left on a dictation that the tape cut out. The only explanation from QA was that "it was clearly understood". I am just wondering how it was clearly understood. I went back and listened to the tape and sure enough where I had blanks, the tape was cutting out. So why am I being marked off for blanks. Then on a few ot ...

May 30, 2013
Okay, first quarter FIESA reviewed about 80 reports of mine and I actually got my incentive. Now for this quarter, I am wavering on not getting my incentive with a 98.88 and for the past few weeks they have not reviewed a single one of my reports. I smell something fishy. This whole FIESA thing is to a) review enough reports a quarter so you fall below 99 and then b) if you are below 99, stop reviewing reports so you are stuck there with no chance to bring it up! How fric ...
ANOTHER FIESA LIE
Jun 28, 2013
our post-audit reports are randomly pulled. If you score high enough to get the bonus, your reports are gone through by the hatchet queens in India until they can find a report they can "audit" to bring you below 99%. If you are kicked back to 98.99%, they still meet their contract requirements to the client, and Nuance does not have to pay you a bonus. ...

I almost always get my critical errors on one particular doctor who I think I understand and then it turns out I miss something.

And before you tell me to ask my TSM I did but as usual never got an answer. ...
FIESA AND QA- SM
Oct 08, 2013
Much as I dislike FIESA and all this QA, what I really hate is finding out I've been typing something WRONG for 30 years. The only thing I can say for myself is some QA decades ago filled it in for me and I didn't look it up. Been typing Campo's fascia instead of Camper's fascia. Took a 1-point post-audit hit on it, too. Shakes me up, what else have I been doing wrong for 30 years? And will it knock me out of bonus territory next quarter... ...

NOT LOOKING AT FIESA
Apr 01, 2014
I must admit, I never looked at FIESA, not only because it was depressing and humiliating, but its not the most user friendly site. My manager was constantly badgering me for not looking at it though and actually had me try to get on the other day when she called. How do other people get away with not looking at it? I wish I could get out of this company. It's depressing, demeaning and humiliating. ...
Take THAT Fiesa!
Apr 27, 2014
Just for "fun," I counted how many times I prevented a critical patient safety error today by catching the speaker saying the wrong age, gender, right vs. left, hyper versus hypo, you get the picture. I quit counting at 8. Never in my many years at Nuance have I made 8 CPSEs in 1 day. So are we getting credit for the good work we do? Not very likely. ...
Fiesa 98.7%....
Jul 08, 2014
Got a report back below 99%--Actually 98.7% with only 0.25 point reduction...for what? Not typing DICTATION ENDS HERE on a report that only had part of the first sentence dictated....and I have to sign off that I reviewed this? The report was sent to NHR for review with a note--INCOMPLETE DICTATION. Okay, next time I type dictation ends here, but scoring this is ridiculous. Why is this even an error--should have just been an FYI--the report was never going to make i ...

An Example Of How Fiesa Does Not Help
Jul 28, 2014
I was having a good day, until I went into Fiesa...I have decided that one particular dictator--who speaks what he probably considers fluent English (He is American), is going to review for every report because he is the one I get poor scores on... I am constantly guessing if he said "and" or "in" or "on," and I missed a period....he backtracks, leaves words out, stumbles, and CANNOT pronounce even the simpelist of medications...let alone spell them, he spells them wrong too, hard to even under ...
Is There A Way To Opt Out Of FIESA?

The more they ding me for stupid stuff, the more mistakes I make. I know their goal is to prevent us from getting the quarterly bonus and I've never been able to get it anyway, so why try? I am always above 99%, but just below 99.5%. It is destroying my confidence and my ability to concentrate. Does anyone know if we absolutely have to participate in this facet of Nuance Nonsense? ...
