Is there a way to keep track of percentage being sent to QC? - sm

I never know where I stand until after the fact. Do any of you know how to keep track of this? The nonsense just keeps increasing and increasing.
Yep - sm

Do you have a line counter on your platform? If so, just write down your lines before you send a report to QC, and then subtract that from the amount of lines after you send.
If you don't have an automatic line counter on your platform, use google to find a line counter or character counter. Whenever you have a report that is going to QC, copy and paste the text into the online counter and keep track of that information throughout the week.
What a farce. This should be an automatic function. - sm

But then again, they probably don't want us to know what our percentage is at any given time. As stated in the post above, they'll stoop to anything to squeeze a few more pennies out of us. Deceitful people are running the show and think we're stupid.
I sent in 10% to QA last month due to difficult dictators. There were a couple of days where I had some really bad dictations and maybe sent in 4 reports on that day. Other days I didn't send any reports to QA. The company has always told us if we are not 100% sure of the word to leave it blank. Now I am being penalized for taking this advice. I have been put on notice that they will let me go if I continue to go over 8%. Does this seem unreasonable? &nbs ...
Just something to keep in mind, even if you think you are being anonymous on here, there is always the chance that your post can be tracked back to you...and if it is, MQ could always make your work life a living h___. ...
our pay will be docked because we may leave out "a" or something along that line or not place a comma where they believe it should be. Before it just affected our bonuses but not our actual pay that we get. Now our pay will be deducted for every error that they deem that we make!!! That doesn't even seem legal. Even if you work at McDonalds and make a mistake they don't cut your pay and don't give me the crap about affecting patient safety. Bull crap! ...
When we first started this new compensation plan, I remember the magic line percentage for QA was 2%... but was that NO MORE than 2% gets post-audited, or AT LEAST 2% gets post-audited?
Just realized I have over 200 lines already post-audited for the week, but I have only transcribed 6500 lines so far, and 2% of that would be 130.

This past pay period because my QC percentage was over 10% both weeks I calculated lost wages of almost $400. The first week my quality was 100%, the second 99.7%. The second week my QC percent was just a hair over 10%, but I of course ended up on the bottom of the pay grid, a difference of $150 for the week. I don't send reports to QC because I'm lazy. Why should we continue to get penalized for bad dictators, unknown names/business entities on new accounts, et ...
Does anyone remember what they had said the percentage of audit should be each week? I know I have only had 1 job audited each week for the past 3 weeks. Which of course means 1 mistake and I'm under 99%. Anyone? Thanks. ...
The sacral decubitus ulcer was then marked with a marking pen and an elliptical excision was made with a scalpel so as to completely excise the ulcer itself and the *tract/track* which was extending several centimeters proximally. ...
Yet again, I am on track to make less this year than apparently when I was a teenager working at a burger joint.
I work 40 hours, never call in sick (before anybody starts flaming). So depressing. ...
Is there such a thing available that keeps track of "at the keyboard" typing time? I am one that gets up and down frequently throughout my work day and its hard to keep track of exactly how many actual hours I am typing. I want something automatic that I don't have to remember to click on/off because if I could remember to do that, I could remember to write it down :) Anyone know of something like this? ...
Is industry standard now a requirement of 99% accuracy for the usual employee review to maintain employment or (heaven forbid) achieve a bonus?
97%, 98%, or 99%. Just curious. ...
CTA of the pelvis demonstrates no evidence of any arterial aneurysm or AV fistula. There was abnormal "track" extending through the right gluteus maximus muscle with marked induration of the subcutaneous tissue of the right buttock area.
(CTA performed before heterotopic ossification sugery. Past history of gunshot to buttocks, with bullet fragments overlying the left hemipelvis on hip x-ray.) ...
I work in Escription 9.20 (90% VR). If I am told I have an average work time of 6.9 hours in Escription, does anyone know exactly how they are tracking to get that figure? ...
Trying to determine the norm for providing free work. I spend more time fixing dictator's demographic errors demographic errors and searching for data that should have been dictated than I do editing.
I'm just wondering if other editors just note these problems for QA to deal with or are you also working pretty much for free?
Anyone been fired for refusing to work for free?
...
On the account I work I'd say only about one dictator in 20 can achieve 99% accuracy with VR without editing. This doesn't surprise me in the least. We could have told the developers this 20 years ago, but money talks.
For the doctors forced to use VR, will the errors be acceptable to them? To the big wigs at the hospitals? ...
actually make sense or work. If you do lose the 0.03 cpl, don't they have to make sure you are paid min wage per hour. Wouldn't they then have to supplement you? What sense does this policy make then? ...
Has anyone figured out how the h____ this new trending and correction report percentage is working on Fiesa. Are they cherry picking the most difficult doctors to audit and skipping over the physicians that would balance the percentage score. That thing is so skewed, I cannot figure out for the life of me what it is suppose to reveal. It is totally biased against the MLS from what I can understand. ...
