Why is erroneous information filled in by QC? - sm

Posted: Feb 27, 2015

If a doctor says something that a third grader would know is nonsense and the MLS leaves a blank, why does the QC person fill it in? We're supposed to use critical thinking skills, but yet they fill in something stupid when it's blatantly wrong.

Then, we get an email with all kinds of information regarding normal laboratory values and we are supposed to use critical thinking skills for all that and determine when it is normal or abnormal.

Oh, I'm still waiting for my MD degree to come in the mail. Come on, higher ups at Nuance, get real. Please. If you want us to know this information, pay us for knowing it.

You are probably on an account that uses India - QC. I see the same thing on mine

and cringe when I see some of the things they change, add, take out. I guess Nuance is in the business of paying for cheap junk these days.

Mine is done by American-sounding names. - SM

Probably the same ones who are taking work away from me while I get OOW all week long and have done so every single week since the beginning of 2015 as well as going back as far as September 2014. This kind of nonsense is costing the company money, too. Who comes up with this crap? Doesn't it make more sense to pay less people good money and benefits than continue to have a revolving door and keep paying for all the extraneous expenses associated with that? Bunch of morons running this company right directly into the ground!

Like nail techs, they take on American names and this retched company probably wants that so you don't think it is India. This place is the pits and lower!

Yep, just like when you call the cable company - or credit card customer service

And they say (in a THICK indian accent)...Hello, my name is Susan, how may I be of helping to you?" LOL

I always hate when I get an indian-speaking person...not because I don't like them, I'm sure the person is perfectly nice, BUT I can NEVER understand even ONE-THIRD of what they are saying and nothing gets done.

I assume health care is investing in programs that they think will enable them to eliminate having to use editors. However, we all know that doctors do not have the time nor the patience to edit their reports and their non-MT staff are not qualified to do so. I spent a day documenting errors that would be left in reports if they were not edited. 75% of them contained erroneous diagnoses, conditions the patients did not even have a history of, which included STDs and head lice - thin ...

people can be so stupid, or oblivious, to the fact that they have an over-abundance of MTs during the week that run out of work on a constant basis but, on the weekends, work is over-flowing to the tune of "help help help". Can they not figure out that if they would cough up just a few more cents a line for someone to cover weekend shifts, and offer it IN HOUSE first, that this all could be eliminated? Of course, I don't know why it amazes me. These people never were in the tra ...

Got an e-mail from TransTech that the positions for the rad MT job posting on the Job Seeker's Board dated 3/6/2012 are filled, however, the posting is still listed here, so not sure what the real deal is. I'm sure someone from their company will see this post then remove the ad. But, I do wonder if they just don't want to hire and pay a good line rate for an experienced MT. If anyone else applied for this posting, did you also receive that e-mail? ...

I bought a computer that I used for work (100% work, nothing else). I know I file 4562, section 179, but I am having the hardest time trying to figure out where I am supposed to put the information. It's just the computer and nothing else. I read that I do not have to depreciate this, it falls under eligible property. Just confused where to put the info. I'm filling out the forms by hand. I absolutely hate hate hate Turbo tax and two years ago H&R blo ...

Hi, I am new to the independent contractor thing, but shouldn't a company that has "hired" you as an independent contrator have your SS and a 1099 filled out by you? Just wondering as it seems to me this is necessary and since it is not being done, it makes me wonder about this company that much more, espcially since others have stated they have not been paid by this company. I guess if they are not planning on paying me they don't need a 1099 or SS# huh? ...

Hi, I am speaking with TTS about a job. The thing that I am concerned about is they said in their introduction that, "Production time is tracked off the technology system and monitors the time you are actually in the document working (hands on the keyboard or foot on the pedal). If you are idle in excess of 4 minutes the time stops tracking. You must remain actively working. If you are researching etc, give it 3 minutes." I am assuming this means that you if you get ...
