frustrating dictation - new but old
Posted: Jan 04, 2014
Have typed probably 15 reports, out of those at least 13 have been the same physician who doesn't bother to put in name, account numbers, etc. Have had to research every one and pend almost all of them for lack of/or discrepancy in information. So now will probably get dinged for pending them because I am sure they will be able to decipher what I was unable to. I could have guessed but with my luck then would have made a critical error so must be satisfied with probably only a Major error. So stupid and discouraging. Let alone how much it has slowed my LPH down for having to research all the information that was left out. What a way to spend my Saturday!!
The solution finally came to me yesterday. - Please sm
[ In Reply To ..]I also seem to have a lot of dictations lately that require research for various things. Yesterday, after an hour in which I only reach 140 lines, I decided that the 4 cents for VR no longer covers extensive research time. I downloaded a timer on my computer, set it to 1 minute, and when it chirped at me, I blanked the issue and sent it to QA. Definitely helped increase my lph. As for the dinging, you have the right idea--don't risk a critical error, settle for the major. Also, these *should* be pre-audit reports and *should* not count against our quality score, so I try not worry about them.
good idea - new but old

But make sure you use discrepancy or technical issue - sm

Ever Have A Job That Was Just So Frustrating?
Sep 07, 2012
I know it takes a while to get used to some platforms, but what is getting me is that the person who trained me is telling me to do something 1 way 1 day and then totally the opposite the next!! When I ask her about it, I get no answers. Very frustrating, but I have to keep this job. I have no other prospects. Why, I have no clue since I do have a lot of experience:( ...
Frustrating...
Jun 09, 2015
Perusing the MT jobs on another site and I began to see a trend I did not like....quite a few of them (probably half if I had counted) were paying 5 cpl transcription and 3 to 3.5 cpl editing.....I mean REALLY?? COME ON PEOPLE!! How do they expect anyone in their right mind to be able to work for those kinds of wages? That is way below minimum wage for a job that takes training and expertise in the medical field. It just drives me crazy as a veteran MT...I just do not get the insanity that this ...
Bad Dictators Very Frustrating
Apr 28, 2010
I have 6 years of experience and just started a new job doing straight transcription. I'm convinced that I'm getting all of dictators that they can't run through their VR because they are so bad. I'm lucky to make $5.00/hr. Very frustrating. Need to give my notice. Anybody else have this experience? Sorry, I just needed to vent. ...
I Just Have To Say SS Is The Most Frustrating Company I Have Ever
Feb 14, 2013
All the e-mails about helping out on other accounts if you are without work. Some of my jobs have a 12, 48, etc. turn around time. Is it really necessary to always be typing an hour behind these docs. Good grief. This is so aggravating. Who wants to try to learn 20 accounts with hundreds of different dicators, not to mention you'll never learn the cities and different names of different locations, etc. for a city because you're always moving on to so ...
Frustrating Day At The UE Office
Jun 28, 2013
The TAA website as well as my state's UE website said I needed to visit my local UE office to find out if I was eligible for TAA benefits, so I went over there today. I was encouraged when on the sign in sheet it asked if I was affected by TAA, and I said I wanted to talk to someone about that. It went downhill from there. They really didn't know anything about it. The counselor put my social security number into his computer and then said I wasn't "coming up." Well why woul ...

Frustrating Job Search As A Newly Credentialed CPC-H

Pet Dictation Peeve

Ooooh! This gets me. This is an NP who is dictating acute care - "The patient comes in with a diagnosis of non-insulin dependent diabetes 'myelitis'." Puhleeze! The same dictator pronounces "organomegaly" as "organomeglea." It's like hearing someone scratching their fingernails down a blackboard. Shouldn't these people have had enough schooling to be able to sound out words?! ...
Emotional Dictation

Just had a dictator sobbing and choking up while dictating on an AML toddler with a poor prognosis. Dictation was still clear enough, but it was hard to keep from not choking up myself. If I was an MD, that would be the part of the job I don't think I would be able to handle. ...
Yawning Over The Same Bit Of Dictation

Just learning the ropes with InScribe and have a question.
