I will never understand how looking at QC stuff - wannie

Posted: Jan 30, 2015

in FIESA is supposed to help my quality if I CAN'T go back and relisten to what I missed. I don't like taking somebody's else's word for it and I certainly don't like putting my initials that I reviewed it. If I missed it, I would be the first to admit it, but I don't ever really know if I missed something or not. I know it doesn't count against the QA score, but it's still aggravating. Sometimes, being able to listen a second time would make everything clear. How hard is that to figure out?

Sorry for all my griping today. I'm just frustrated - wannie

Relisten - MLS

It's really a shame you can't relisten. Luckly, on the escription platform, I am able to do so. And the sound is so amazingly much clearer there!

Can I ask how you relisten on escription? - I dont seem to be able to...

[ In Reply To ..]
I've asked my TSM twice...still waiting on an answer....

Thanks!

I can't relisten on Editscript either - sm

When I first started with Nuance I was able to go back and listen to past reports, for about a month. Then something happened and I haven't been able to listen to them since. Tech support couldn't figure it out and decided that IE was screwed up, suggested I reformat my computer or get a new one. I got a new computer and still can't listen to past reports.....

Escription - MLS

I'm sorry for the delay in responding. If you go to www.escription.com, you will see a place for customer log-in, which is for the name of your account (I think you have to list it as it is in the specs, mine is easy since it is the name of the hospital with lower case first letter). I will use this hospital as my example, since it is not the one I do. beaumont Proceed from there. It will take you to a page for your user name and password for your account and so on. Hope this helps!

P.S to above do this in internet explorer, not firefox. - MLS

This is particularly true when QC is WRONG! - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
I don't wish for QC to get busted by the post-audit gestapo, but better them than me. Just be aware, however, that QC's word is not necessarily always correct.

I made a comment about this issue on one of my audits. - genie

My TSM said they were working on giving access to listen to our audited reports. I think we should keep asking for this and maybe someday we'll get it.

I work ediscript, different MTSO, and I can relisten to a report. Gotta - wonder why N had disabled that function. nm

N disabled that function to prevent us from contesting it - anon

[ In Reply To ..]
Seems pretty obvious to me, why disable it unless you don't want anyone to be able to contest their now lowered pay due to QA.

When I worked at Webmedx we could go in and listen to these reports to help us, and there was no penalty for QA. Oh, to have Webmedx back!!

Hi - when QA gives you feedback on a blank you had, are they supposed to (ethically is it proper) for them to continue on and reprimand you, for example, with "I did find the same thing you blanked at Google. You need to go to Google." or are they supposed to just correct, and then have your account manager talk to you? Thanks! ...

I just got a report where words were added that were essentially a diagnosis that could match the symptoms and treatment the patient had, but THE DOCTOR NEVER SAID THAT! Talk about adding words! Now MM ASR is diagnosing patients along with all the other extra words it adds. At least this string of words was obvious, but there are a lot of little care-changing words added that could be missed. It's amazing what it makes out of thin air when the doctor isn't dictating as it's ge ...

Hi all, Sorry if this has been discussed, but I don't come around here much anymore because I left about 2 years ago. However, I keep getting legal mumbo-jumbo paperwork regarding their bankruptcy.

This program has been training for at least 10 years that I can remember, probably more ...

Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, but it seems like with all the screwing over that some of these companies do to us (and I know it's no accident that they don't encourage us to communicate amongst ourselves), few people here are suggesting some way of getting together to "encourage" the companies we work for to screw us over less, or at least less painfully. I know there's a Fair Standards act, for example, that supposedly covers even us (working on production). Whi ...

I've read several of the posts regarding MTSOs requiring MTs to complete HITECH training on their own time, work over 40 hours without reporting it, or forcing ICs to adhere to a schedule, etc. Although not an attorney, I'm very close to an employment attorney, and here is a summary of the laws.

I'm an ex-Transcender and when I was approving my time sheet this morning I noticed that my time sheet said my percentage sent to QA was 20.2%. I have NOT sent this many reports to QA as blanks, but have sent a lot of stuff due to discrepancies, no demographics match, no dictation, etc. Are they seriously counting stuff that we have NO control over against us for purposes of denying bonuses? I asked my TSM if that would be the case after we got news of the new pay cuts and ...

Hey Everybody! I am in an entry-level coding position. I work at a very small rural hospital. I'm trying to figure out how things work and wrap my brain around the whole "cycle." So...here's where I'm puzzled. I ask different questions like, well, who does the E/M coding and the radiology coding and the pathology coding, etc. It just seems that there are many people who do lots of the coding in the hospital. I just want to know if this is normal. One person does inpatient ...

Maybe added to the fact that we are now working on 3 or 4 accounts which are unfamiliar, you will recognize that just maybe the facilities are seeing more errors and becoming frustrated because the work is being sent to India where they are seriously less familiar with the account specifics than MTs who worked an account regularly and reliably up until it was taken away. ...

I have not seen how long our pay would be dropped the 3 cents. Am I missing something? Is it just that pay period or the next week or what? I just don't see that.

Peronally I can't afford to have my pay deducted and if you can (mq mts), then you are lucky. I have not had a pay raise in 9 years and all of this is goin ...

Here are some things I learned about the various types of coding. They tried to interview coders who do each kind of coding as they went along.

What you say is true, BUT when 90% of your work is off-shored except for 10% and you barely have any work, and the work you have is 100% ESL (the absolute worst dictators ever) you make minimum wage. The fact that I'm a much better MT than the ILPs does nothing to comfort me at this point when I have bills to pay. If you don't believe this scenario, then you have not experienced it. Try being in SA3. BTW, I'm scheduled for 24 hours per we ...

Everyone says with VR you can double your line count. I want to know what was their line count typing? On my account, I can type anywhere from 250 to 300 lines in an hour. I've been doing VR now for almost 2 months. I'm editing around 300 lines in an hour, however, I'm being paid 50% less. I was told I would not have to work MORE hours to make the same, but would work the SAME hours and make more. I have an extensive autocorrect and use it a lot. I'm finding that many of the ...

An 84 year old monitored for diagnoses of renal failure, anemia and hypertension. 586, 285.9, 403.90. It seems to me that the last code should be 401.90. I don't understand why the code 403.9 was selected. The guidelines say you should "assign codes from category 403, hypertensive chronic kidney disease, when conditions classified to category 585 are present." There is only the 586, renal disease, present in this scenario. Can anybody tell me why a 403 code is appropriate here? ...
