I've wondered about that too. Big announcement of "exciting new changes" 6 weeks ago. Hmm. Probably exciting for everyone but the MLS, and that's why we haven't heard about it.
Excited - anon

They were excited because they used FIESA to stop our bonuses and they got the bonuses themselves. Whenever they get excited it means less money for us and more for them.
when they say excited it translates to - very, very bad for you. n.m.

Changes - Fading fast

I remember one small announcement they made a little while ago. It said that there were so many MLS upset over taking points off for blanks, that they weren't going to do that anymore. I think that was the "big new".
They changed the guidelines but no change in money or incentive - UhHuh

The update is the "Nuance Transcription Guidelines document has been updated and posted in Fiesa. This update incorporates suggested changes and clarifications that were implemented after review with a cross-functional team. The location of the document in Fiesa is under Institution Specifics tab and click on Transcription Guidelines link." This was from an email received March 24, 2014.

Keep Them Coming May 12, 2011I have posted on here many times about putting in requests to have doctors removed from ASR and have been told it doesn't do any good. Apparently some people are listening. I was told that they are flooded with requests now and it is taking a little longer to get to my requests reviewed. I have also noticed that some of the doctors I used to do in ASR are no longer in ASR. Thanks to all who are sending requests and keep them going. Some don't get removed, ...
QA/QC Changes Coming?? Dec 14, 2014Sure hope so. QA are being set up to be the "Payroll Gods". Setting us against each other. I know there is one particular QA that I cringe when I see her name. She is probably a nice person and just trying to do her job, but talk about nit-picky. She has a Master's degree in that area. ...
Look Out For More New MT's Coming On Board. Jan 29, 2010Obama announced a new tax break for every new employee hired will get a 5,000 tax break and up to 500,000 total for each company who hires new employees. My congressman is going to hear from tomrrow when I call his office.
You all know how MQ loves to hire new employees and I sure hope they do not plan on getting rid of us old ones and if they do? I see ANOTHER lawsuit coming called age discrimination. ...
What's The World Coming To Feb 19, 2010On my every-other-month audit by my QTL I lost points for expanding Clostridium difficule, but SHE wanted me to put (I kid you not) C Diff.
Now I have been reading stories by newswriters about E-coli, but I'm still putting E. coli.
Please don't tell me those idiot biddies at AHDI have changed the "rules" on us again.
I also make money typing papers for professional journals, and I really HATE dumbing myself down for MQ.
and...I'm still getting broken jobs with terms like ...
How To Get Downtime Pay You Have Coming To You Oct 07, 2010Okay people, if you were in the middle of your shift, or you could not sign on for your shift, make sure you filed a Q-care ticket and notified your CCM. Mine has been sending E-mails throughout the day stating that she KNOWS that DQS is still down even though it shows a green light. By Medquists own Policy description for downtime for ME/MTs, this definitely qualifies. Go to MQ Central Home page---Human Resources---policies. At the bottom of the page there is a link call ...
Christmas Is Coming!!!!! Nov 16, 2010So what do you think we'll get as a Christmas present this year? A new mouse pad, an envelope opener, perhaps a pencil with the Medquist logo on it, an eraser maybe? Oh, the possibilities are endless!! I'm sooooo excited, I just can't wait! After all, we know how much Medquist appreciates us by the way they treat us! Oh wait, I forgot, there have never been even cost of living raises let alone merit raises. Oh wait, I forgot ...

Coming Across A Mistake Aug 03, 2012I was looking over already transcribed reports by others to check on a medication and came across a mistake that really makes us look foolish and is something, IMHO, that any transcriptionist would know and this doctor speaks good English. Would you notify QA so they can correct the report or notify the hospital to correct the report? Thanks for your opinion. ...

Coming Back To MT May 15, 2013ok, I have been offered a secretarial job but it is with a new company so I am iffy on whether the comany will make it.

Late In Coming, But, Mar 03, 2014apparently I was only employed by Nuance thru last December. Starting in January I was employed by Transcend. This is as per the state unemployment benefits office. They were really interested that my check stubs said Transcend/DBA as Nuance out of Mass., and the W2s only had Transcend out of Melbourne, Florida. Asked me questions about it, but told them I had never noticed when Transcend was added to the check stubs, which I didn't. Don't know anything ab ...

Transcend Interview Coming Up Sep 28, 2010I have an interview with Transend on Friday. Does anyone know much about this company?

My Days At MQ May Finally Be Coming To An End!!! Oct 30, 2010The hospital 5 minutes from my home has an in house MT position available! Full time, Monday through Friday, first shift.
I've been waiting forever for an in house position to come open there. My eyes nearly fell out of my head when I saw the listing!
I've been trying for months to get another job...doing ANYTHING....to get away from this place. I love MT, but I was ready to walk away from it all together. If I can have an hourly, in house MT position, though, ...
More CMTs Coming From Off-shore Dec 18, 2010New CMT & RMT tests out, so off-shore will be teaching to the tests big time. This is going on in our industry and others; but savvy big companies are awake and tweaking certification testing to catch the problem; not sure ADHI is sophisticated enough for that. I am really NOT sure they WANT to address that issue. Watch the flood of new CMTs from off-shore...and what it does to availability of our jobs. (Yet there will be the re ...

New MT, Coming Up On 6 Months With Nuance Oct 02, 2013I have been having trouble with productivity from the beginning. My account is mostly ESL, so I feel like I shouldn't be having so much trouble here. However, I have a friend who is an MT and says that some of my speakers are really tough. She's been an MT for 10 years now and things usually come easy to her.
Anyway, I'm concerned that if I don't get my lines up to where they need to be will they let me go? I'm working really hard to try to get my lines up and I ...
