Granular vs. granulation on FIESA alert? - Seriouslyhere

Posted: Jun 19, 2013

I received a "critical error" alert that I used the word granulation instead of granular in a report that was by a heavy ESL. Seriously? That's a critical error? As a FYI I relistened and it still sounds like granulation so I've sent it to the manager for review. Either way ....it would not compromise patient care!

no but it ensures QA gets a bonus. JS - mt2

QA bonus - me

QA doesn't get a bonus but we do get audited and we MUST go by the ADHI guidelines.

Is there a guideline that says it is an error to omit "the, an" when it does not change th - JS

This happens to me all the time. I just want to tear my hair out. What they count as critical and major errors is just laughable and QA are so inconsistent, you really, really just can't win. I had one where QA heard "nothing" and I heard, even on re-listening "negative." Major error again. Really?

Critical error: BP 140/52. They say it was dictated as BP 140/53. Seriously? Well there you go - that makes a REAL difference in the outcome of the patient (sarcasm). They should be sued for bullying!!!

DITTO!!.....sm - LoveMT

I got hit for: Temperature 98, which supposed to be 98.2 according to the OFFSHORE person who did the post audit. REALLY?? Like 2/10 of a degree is really going to kill the patient with a flipping normal temperature of 98 degrees!

I seem to recall in the training we did on FIESA - anon

that such errors as you describe would not be counted as critical, only something like BP 240/52 instead of 140/52.

So much for that. We got bought out last year and I thought I would give it a try but now I want OUT!!

After reading the emails below, I had to post. After starting with Nuance, getting great QA reviews, great post audit reviews, and thinking I was doing well - I have gotten THREE major alert emails in 2 days. I have since discovered these were reviewed by Offshore QA. Why? Do we not have enough reviewers onshore? And one of the jobs I had already gotten an email about as I had sent it up for blanks - the QA had reviewed it and I had viewed it - why was it reviewed again?? The onshore QA di ...

I think I am going to do what a poster below suggested and block them. I don't see that having the reviews come through helps me in any way. I have also noticed that some of these jobs have been QCd twice for some reason - and it is not a post audit. So frustrating to get dinged on things that I just can't prove I did or didn't do....I hate that part of this company. ...

Someone asked that I start a new thread on this subject so it does not get buried regarding a job posting I received (and others also). Below is the link to my original post if it does get buried. If anyone wants to know the company....and I will post it here if that is allowed...you can contact me by email. Otherwise, perhaps the monitor will advise whether I can post the company name. I do not have a good feeling about this outfit. I have not posted all the conten ...

Citing industry experts, we TOLD YOU this was coming. But you kept INSISTING that it wasn't true as you continued drinking the Obama Kool-Aid. Read it. WEEP.

On 10/8/13 I downloaded Antivirus Security Pro per instructions and they immediately charged my credit card $99.99. It was started that I was automatically granted a 12-month access in which to re-download at any time. When downloaded, there was an icon on the desktop and the program listed in the folder on C drive. My old antivirus was still good, so I did not try to the product right away. Around 11/1/13 did try it and it had disappeared, icon and program. Tried t ...

Sorry for the dumb question but I can't get any answers from my head honchos...where do you go to review your reports that have been audited? I've checked the manual and I see DocQManage. That's not even on my computer (DocQScribe is). I'm in Fluency. I've tried to log into FFT Manager with my # with DEP on the end plus the password so graciously supplied to me but I keep getting "account not recognized" as an error message. This is seriously distress ...

I only have an hour window between my 2nd shift job and the 3rd shift job, and I try to sneak in a nap, but after a couple of hours I find myself yawning and losing focus. Coffee doesn't seem to help nor do any of the energy drinks. So far, 5 minutes of jumping jacks or something every hour has helped the most, but I still feel I am not at my best (and my production shows it). Any tips you might have would be greatly appreciated. TIA. ...

There is still another scam company out there offering to help "train" students and graduates. They will kindly let you do their real work, the work clients are paying them for. This is unacceptable and unethical. It will not look good on your resume because potential employers do not look kindly on this. If, for example, they find out that you did your 'internship' with XYZ Company, you will probably never know the reason why your resume was rejected or tossed. Working for free ...

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. ...

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 ...
