Nuance flexibility & standards questions

I am curious if MLS and/or QC/QA people working for Nuance are able to consistently meet their 99.5% accuracy rating while meeting the lines per hour requirements? ...

I expect all companies have schedules and time clocks anymore, but could you tell me if Webmedx allows a little flexibility for extra runs to school for forgotten lunch, timing in 15 minutes early or late, etc. As long as you get your total lines and hours in are they pretty easy to work with? ...

Totally made me LOL this morning, especially the "You get to decide your own hours" line. I cut and pasted this section of the article but the full report can be found here: http://education.yahoo.net/articles/flexible_careers_that_pay.htm?wid=1 Career #4 - Medical Transcriptionist Medical transcriptionists listen to and transcribe dictated recordings made by doctors and other health care professionals. As a medical transcriptionist, you would need to understand medical terminol ...

I have a job part time job right now but am commited to specific hours. Due to some personal issues and changes with the company, I'm looking for something new. Was wondering if anyone knew of any companies hiring part time employees right now with super flexible schedules. ...

Hi. I was wondering if there are any Accentus employees here that could tell me a little about working for them..specifically, their 15 hour weekend position, 3rd shift positions and if they are employee status positions. I was also wondering if it a set schedule because I had read that there is more flexibility with schedules with Accentus, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! ...

Having a problem trying to type for 8 hours and having no flexibility. Any suggestions? ...

Is this pretty much depending on who your direct supervisor is or is this new time keeping thing one that allows you to make changes, switch shifts, etc.? ...

I would like to know how different companies work with you as far as schedule flexibility. For example, if you are working second shift and your child's music concert was during your shift, how would your company (or previous companies) work with you on that? Any companies that are especially flexible or any that are especially not? Along that line, any companies that give you, say a 10-12 hour window to get 8 hours in? Thanks for any info you can give me. ...

I've been out of MT for a few years to go back to college after spending a decade at the daily grind but finances require me to go back to work and so I'm crawling back to the industry again. Anyone know of any companies (nationals fine by me) who are hiring for clinic work? It would be extra ideal to find an IC position that offered me even minor flexibility with my schedule so I could break to drive my kids to school and husband to and from work etc. since we are currently all s ...

I know the rule has always been if the report type has a standard with more than 6 headings that we can hit F11 and type the job. Now I sorta remember reading that was changing. Does anyone know if it has and what the new rule is? ...

This is just my observation. I am presently working on VR and have been for about 1-1/2 months. On my straight typing accounts, we followed the Book of Style and typed verbatim. VR is a whole different world. Where as we had to spell out abbreviations in the impression, plan, preoperative diagnoses, etc., with straight typing, on VR we are told to not expand abbreviations. We are also told that unless the statement makes no sense whatsoever to send it to QA, b ...

Just to let you all know, after talking with my CCM, what happened to me was an error and has been fixed. We *do* get paid for standards. Sorry if I freaked anyone, besides myself, out with my post. ;o) ...

Thanks for all your comments about inserting standards but I am not concerned about mistakes in them at audits. I am at the point where I don't care if I am fired. The point I wanted to make is that the quality of the standard from the hospital was horrendous yet obviously acceptable because it comes from them yet we are expected to be 99% accurate under the worst possible circumstances. If this weren't so pitiful and causing so many MTs so much distress, it would be ...

My hospital is transitioning into SR using APEX. We're being told that they want to base our expect standards on VBC (visual black characters), saying this is "the industry standard". Are the rest of you on SR/VR paid by VBC, lines, or minutes? What were the justifications given? We've been paid for the last 10 years by minutes so aren't thinking this is a good change. Any feedback would be helpful. We are a union shop so would love to hear from other ...

I've been with MQ for about 2 months now. I've noticed that many, many of the dictators use what we used to call "standards" or templates. We just inserted the canned text and made changes where indicated. Is this allowed? I know some has their own (crtl S), but can I make my own and use them? ...

When a report requires a standard be used and it is an ASR report, if the MT knows what the standard headings are, isn't it acceptable to just type in the headings in the appropriate places within the ASR, rather than pulling in the standard by Ctrl S? ...

Can anyone tell me if we are paid for standards brought into reports or only what we add to it? I did a very long OP note yesterday that had a large standard and quite a bit of dictation along with it and am surprised to see I only received 9.38 lines for it. Something doesn't seem right, I know I type more than 9.38 lines even without the standard! ...

Our facilities have many docs who say "insert my standard." Yesterday I got a new one which was beyond belief. The format was wrong; the PE was double spaced instead of single. Some of the headings were capitalized and some were not. There were spelling errors. No Murmurs, Rubs or Gallops appeared like so, etc., etc. Someone somewhere had to produce this PE and this is what the hospital is using as their standard. Next time I get a piece of crap like thi ...

When I am in a job, and the doctor requests standard, ctrl S does not always toggle me to the standard list. Is there another way without using my mouse? thank you in advance. ...

Standard name doesnt even match what doc dictated,,the numbers he dictates dont match and the spelling...dont even get me started on that!!! ...

Anyone else get really annoyed when a doctor says "use my standard" and then proceeds to make half a dozen changes to it? What they would like us to do is remove part of the dictation, go down to the bottom, get the appropriate text, copy, delete, move it back to the correct place in the report and then, of course, edit it. Doing this multiple times is not only excessively time consuming but makes it very easy to accidentally delete text. Just curious if you are all doing this. ...

Okay, if you want me to be 99.7% then at least have the information in the normals/standards correct. Misspelled words, punctuation errors. Really? Have to go in and change a LOT in order to "attempt" to make 99.7%. Thinking I am no longer going to change them and when i get "nicked," I am going to say "that's how it was entered." Sorry for the rant. ...

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 ...

Last night I did two fairly long duplex studies where the doctor says "use my standard" with a lot of "move this, take that out, insert this..." Not difficult, but time consuming. When I went in to look at my line count after my shift, I got a total of 20 lines for the two reports, or 16.48 cents! What gives with this? Did I miss the memo, or did they just not tell us? Next week they'll be asking us to pay them when we actually get work. :o( ...

Before I appear dumb to supervisor, can somebody tell me where do I find "MedQuist Standards and Guidelines?" ...

I am just curious as to what line count standards are out there. What are your line count requirements for the day and how much do you use your QA for things like missing encounters, unable to ID patients, incorrect work types? Where I work our standards are relatively lower than other places, however, we also are required to match encounters, determine the work type, send an email for each work type or inrcorrect MRN, create a temporary patient if we cannot find the patient anywhere in the s ...

I manage a transcription department and we went live with Escription a few months ago. I am working on setting standards for edited lines as well as putting together an incentive program. Would anyone be willing to share their policy for transcribed/edited lines and what they are currently paying for incentive. Thank you! Renee ...

my check was $100 less this pay and I am trying to figure out why. I know I had some reports with standards so I am wondering if this was why. Thanks for the help. ...

Can anyone give me Transcription Productivity Standards using voice recognition? ...

The U.S. Dept. of Labor requires time and a half pay for all hours over 40 worked in a work week. (I think only if employee status.) We are considered piecemeal workers and indeed are eligible for OT pay. "All time spent by an employee performing activities which are job-related is potentially "work time." This includes the employee's regular "on the clock" work time, plus "off the clock" time spent performing job-related activities (which benefit the employer). Potential ...
