Low QA .Unless they review more (laugh, laugh) - ss

Posted: Jun 05, 2015

Well, call me an idiot. But unless they review another report for the payperiod I will be under the 99 for 2 weeks in a row. Have been hitting the required mark for weeks on end, but... I think with work low I have been rushing and did make a couple of dumb mistakes. When you do this on a 30 line report, well.... you know how it goes.

Does this qualify you for action plan or anything. Or is it 3 strikes and you are out?

Same here. Very low QA after several weeks of - wannie

100% or close to it. Hit with "critical" errors that would in no way be critical to a patient's care. Oh well, I guess that's how the old ball bounces, lol.

Something is going on here... - anon

This seems to be happening to everyone! Maybe they are short on cash for payroll and told QA to knock down our pay.

Same thing ... - sm

Same thing happening here---100% for weeks, then dropped down last time. Rigged, phony baloney.

For the past month or so they have just been - sm

doing 1 report a week on me and usually always find one with an error. Before this they would do 10 to 12 with maybe one with an error if they were lucky. They seem to be searching them out, though team lead claims it is random. yeah....

yep, same here - sm

It seems to have begun the same time as the new QC paygrid was brought up...

I think our pay is being manipulated. - anon

I am convinced now that others are having the same experience as me with the Fiesa scores. Who do we complain to? I was okay with it when I was getting 100%, but maybe they just gave us a cooling off period so we would stop complaining about the new pay grid. Now something has changed and it really seems manipulated. That can't be ethical!

Intentional - Poorhouse

It isn't ethical. Nothing Nuance does is ethical. There is no doubt in my mind that this is 100% intentional to lower our pay as much as they possibly can, blaming US for not being 100% perfect. Who DO we complain to?!

Just venting a little. Had a client that was constantly (almost daily) calling or emailing me they were missing charts and saying I had lost dictation. After 2 years of this, we came to mutual termination one month ago. I have gained back an hour of time per day chasing down charts that I know don't exist or fielding calls from several of their staff looking for that 'missing' dictation. Hated to lose a client, but my days are now peaceful again. Some ...

Are they kidding? How stupid is this proposed Essay contest? We are asked to enter a contest and tell why FTR is a good thing and a move forward and will have a positive impact on patient care?

How about asking for an essay on punishing MTs for asking for a second opinion, wanting another trained ear to listen so that patients are not given the incorrect medication or an incorrect diagnosis? How about an es ...

This doctor plain as day said "circus senilis." I could find no such thing. I know about arcus senilis, but I thought who am I to say he doesn't know what he is talking about? So I looked up the word "circus." The last meaning said "a ring or circlet", so I put what he said. Either he is right or someone will get a good laugh, and I may get a black mark. What do you think? Should I have just put arcus senilis and assume he made a mistake? It was jus ...

This is the same guy who once said a patient worked driving a "lift-fork" and another one of his patients was "stung by a black widow recluse spider."

I also know from posts over the years that MQ has some huge issues, and I don't see that getting any better. I got an e-m ...

OOOHH. Big announcement today, join us. For what? DocQscribe just renamed? Forgive me if I am not excited, sounds like a disappointing regift to me. In fact, it is probably better they change it to Fluency or whatever because on my new MM computer sent for the upgrade to DocQscribe 7 they spelled the program as DoQscribe. No kidding. Be on the watch out for more pictures of corporate parties I am sure because to some people this is a big deal. ...

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at this one.

I needed a laugh to start the day because I can't hit India from here with darts from my dartboard. ...
