Transcend merger effecting QA - Oldtimer
Posted: Apr 11, 2012
Can anyone currently working in QA at Nuance comment on how the position is compensated. Do you get an hourly wage like we currently do at Transcend or can we expect to be switched to production based. Do you even have QA staff? The company I came from previously (Medquist) practically did away with their QA staff, making them MTs/QA. Just wondering what I can expect. Thanks for your opinions.
Transcend and QA - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I am not posting a name for obvious reasons, but I will share with you what was conveyed to me. There will be QA, paid hourly. However, they are cutting way back on the QA staff. It was explained to me that it would be bare bones - so, take from that what you will. They are to force more work to the MLS' to decrease QA dept and minimize QA needs. P.S. I was not stated an hourly rate, but checking with out MLS' that moved into that position, it ranged between $ 12.00 to $ 15.00 if their information to me was accurate. Hope this helps you.
They are not cutting back on Nuance QA....they just hired more - sm
[ In Reply To ..]So not sure about your info, and the hourly rate for Nuance QA is also incorrect. FYI
If you read the whole post - I clearly
[ In Reply To ..]stated this was the info given to me. I also did not vouch for the accuracy provided by another. I merely passed on the info as it was passed to me. FYI
and if you read mine it states that too. I stated your info is incorrect - get a grip...nm
[ In Reply To ..].
Grip this - you sound like - wackos on the politics board
[ In Reply To ..]Didn't see anything helpful in what you posted. No info, no facts Just couldn't wait to rip on someone else. Now flame.
read it again..the facts were there...again, GET A GRIP! - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
AGAIN, GRIP THIS - USE YOUR IMAGINATION
[ In Reply To ..]FYI.....Here's your post. Get over your pompous, self-rightoeous a$$. Nothing about salary listed there at all. Guess you are so hell bent on being rude, you can't remember what you wrote.

I made more than one post...try again...you really do need to get a life... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]if you get this bent out of shape over responses to your post or grow some thick skin...I would get my BP checked if I were you...calm down. It really is NOT that serious!
Speaking of bent ouf shape - TRY READING YOUR *NASTY* GARBAGE POSTS
[ In Reply To ..]If you spend this much time harrassing a poster, look at your own life...just sayin' (and not OP, thank God - you're just too rude).
I was wishing they were M*Modal people, doing their - little snit out of sight over there. NM
[ In Reply To ..]x
depends....there is QC which is by the line and QA which - sm
[ In Reply To ..]paid by the hour...QC edits 100% MTs, fills in the blanks, etc predelivery. QA audits the reports after they have been sent to the facility, which is what your quality score is based on. So, it depends on what positions are available and/or offered.
sounds like "QC" equals quality control and "QA" equals - quality audit. My guess is that
[ In Reply To ..]QC (quality control) are the ones who get paid by the line and the QA (quality auditors) get paid by the hour.
Kind of like at M*Modal where they have MMEs who fill in blanks or review reports, but have no authority to grade you and they are paid by the line as well.
Then there is the QA coach who is in charge of the quality audits for which ever team she is assigned to and QA coaches are paid hourly.
correct... - nm
[ In Reply To ..].
QC is hourly - changed
[ In Reply To ..]Nuance onshore QC pay changed last year (2011) to hourly.
Transcend merger effecting QA - Oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks to all for the info. Sounds pretty much like Medquist was, MMEs and Quality coaches, which is why I left for Transcend. It figures, find something you really like at a place who treats you well, and pays "decent" and you get bought out. I will hope for the best. Thanks again.
QA - typeit
[ In Reply To ..]This is one thing that truly upsets me. You can say it is a typo, and I am not trying to be hateful or rude, but this is why people do not respect this profession!!!! "Transcend merger EFFECTING QA" Really? "Effecting?" AFFECTING. Grammar is a requirement for medical transcription. How will the merger AFFECT QA? But: What will the EFFECT of this merger be? And you proof the work of others? I am undervalued, clearly.
This is not English or grammar class. It is a - public forum. Calm down.
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sure when this person is on the clock, they type appropriately.
I misspell stuff all the time on this board; it's not like we are typing patient reports.
QA typeit - Oldtimer
[ In Reply To ..]Seriously? I agree, you are undervalued, all of us in this profession are. I am facing the possibility of loosing a job I worked hard to get, at a pay rate I can at least "live" with and I posted a question to my peers on a forum. I was not auditing a medical document in the context of my job description. So no, I did not proofread this for errors. You should brush that chip off your shoulder before it becomes a boulder.

I came in with the merger of MDI a year+ ago. I almost got an ulcer reading some of these posts, seriously. While you must consider what you see here, especially when there is an abundance of similar opinions, be aware, a small percentage of the company's MTs post here. I will offer my advice. Treat it like a death of a spouse. Mourn your loss and look towards the future. Don't make any big changes for 1 year, or at minimum 4-6 months. Go with ...

Will I Be Able To Keep My Schedule With The Merger?

I guess this is just a question to those who have been part of a Nuance merger in the past.

Anyone allowed to keep working M-F after a merger? I suppose I'm mainly wondering if I can continue to pick my own random schedule after the Trasncend merger is complete. ...

So now Medquist and M*Modal are merging. Wonder what this is going to mean for all of us working for companies that utilize M*Modal. Now I understand why WMX sold out to Nuance. Seems to me no one wants to hire Medquist because of their terrible quality so now they are swallowing up competitors platforms and bullying their way into accounts. They have already stopped allowing other companies to use their DocQScribe platform. Interested to know anyone else's thoughts. ...

Does this mean that MQ just owns the rights to M*Model and now has the ability to charge the MTSOs obscene amounts of money to continue to use the platform? Does this affect our positions as MTs who do work on M*Model ...
My Company Merger/buyout Experience

The QA staff were kept but their pay changed from hourly to production with strict quotas. Almost immediately they had to QA terrible work from other countries. Every one of them quit before long because they made about half of what they previously made ...
