major errors? - no $

Posted: May 28, 2013

Does anyone else run into this? I get all these major error reports from Fiesa, all of a sudden, one after another, with errors that I know, after 15 years of doing this job, I would not have made. I know with certainty that these errors would not escape me. Anyone else get this kind of BS?

Oh yeah. All time time. - MT

people fight it. I don't have the time. I still qualify for bonus. But I delete the nasty e mails b/c I know it is a mistake the majority of the time. To let it bother self-esteem would be to actually lose productivity and quality so that is why I can no longer take this seriously. In spite of their efforts to question serious errors on an ongoing basis. I think it is a mind game and I will not play. Every day I work it is me and the dictations. Nothing more. This way I survive. If you do fight it please don't get emotionally involved. Remember it is you, the dictations, and the patient. Not the other BS. Just my way of getting the job done.

sorry for typing time twice. My computer has a hiccup. nm - nm

Thank you so much for your input. I have been taking it personally and it has been eating away at me. I question it and TCM says "Error stands". I suppose it's easier for her. Must switch to survival mode too, earn my little bit of $ and sign off. Thanks again.

Hang in there you can do it - MT

I am not kidding you, the less contact you have with these kinds of things the better you will do. As long as you make sure to honestly listen to your dictations and send blanks when you are not sure (no guessing), leave this stuff out of your mind and focus on the job. It will seem like the old days again except you will be editing and you will also be making less money probably than the old days. BUT it will again be you and the dictators, the patient care will count, and your mind will focus less on anxiety of what kind of errors will you hear about. You will make less errors if you are there 100% for the job. The boss will bother you less and less. Not to say they don't still do it but they won't as often and you will see your productivity rise and your blood pressure lower. I am not kidding. This job gave me so much anxiety a year ago and it took months to figure out that it was me getting in the heads of the QC and boss, with all the e mails, then I started blaming myself, calling myself all kinds of names and soon enough my quality was plummeting as well as line counts. Now that I leave their garbage to them, I skim e mails and hit delete often, unless they are really important (client specs). Otherwise every day I say to myself, I will just look at the dictations, I will stay in the mindset of the dictation and no name calling in my mind of the boss, OR ME. I hope it helps you. Survive!

That is the only way I survive this dump too. - mt2

I glance at the emails and delete. I log on, do my job, log off. No more, no less. I make my $100 a day. I'm still job hunting for something better away from MT work. Don't let this place get to you. It's not worth it.

Get them also and know that I do not make them. Have 30+ years acute care experience and a very good memory of things I type. Why do they do this to people? What do they gain? It's pretty sick IMHO. We don't need that kind of harrassment.

Constantly - very frustrating - I finally stopped reading them - because I asked my TSM about them...SM

and he said that if it isn't dealing with your post-audit, there is no need to worry. I used to get all upset and berate myself. However, when I noticed these errors were coming from offshore, and THEY were the ones correcting, I just let it go. I shrug - hit delete - and go on my merry way.

I don't read them anymore - I hit delete before reading. - I just wish they would fire me, anyway.

Show me the UE. That's all I want.

Dont worry about the errors - from QA. sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Only look at the ones that are post-audit. They are the ones that screw with your bonus bucks. QA people are always on "power" schticks. Kind of like some cops that take their jobs to their heads? You know what I mean. Don't sweat the small stuff and that's QA. Do your very best and KNOW it's your very best and get on to the next report. :) Hope this helps!

Please get this straight..it's QC not - QA

[ In Reply To ..]
You don't have to worry about QC for your bonuses. QC is for reports before they go to the client for nonDSP people and for blanks.
QA is post audit and is what you have in Fiesa and THAT is what you have to worry about for your bonuses.

QA is in Fiesa too - nm

So I just skip over the QC reports, the ones that say something like QC review. It drives me almost bonkers that people can't keep QC/QA straight.

They are the ones that rip your report to shreds, any extra the and they are all over you. Those are my problem reports.

I know these don't count towards bonuses etc but it still unnerves me to open my email nearly every day and seeing these stupid alerts with my percentage in the tank. Some of them I take full credit for others I dispute but it still shakes me up so therefore some of the mistakes I make is just because I am nervous about literally everything I type. ...

Never in the last year have I ever ever gotten 4 major errors in one report, I don't think I have ever gotten 4 in 3 or 4 months. They will never be able to convince me that something hasn't changed. I am being marked off for things that are completely ridiculous and some I don't think I even did. Wow - what a way to start my day - makes me really want to work hard for them. ...

Got 1 last night and 1 this morning. One I have to admit was definitely my error, the other bul &*&(&(. Hope the QA people choke on their bonuses. Have an interview today (non-MT) with benefits and decent pay. Tired of working so hard to perfect their SR program so they can jack us over either by sending it overseas or finding they need less and less of us as the program gets better (if indeed it ever does). Wish me luck. ...

I get dinged for leaving out words like the, and others. I am now understanding that this is not the correct policy, that others are not getting critical error, major error, off one point for this. So, am I being singled out? Because I thought this was the norm. I'd like to know so that while I am hanging on every word and will continue to do so, I thought I was not the only one with this...thanks in advance for the update. ...

Okay, let's sum it up: 1. Imedx hid information on losing more than one account for months, this is a fact. 2. Number one above is confirmed by Imedx having an acct going to EPIC, and a few days later 3 accounts that we "do not have access to anymore" as stated by manager. 3. Number two above did not say we lost, or Nuance took back, etc., just "no access." 4. In other words, work shifted to cheaper folks, we get that. 5. Lack of any emails in 2 weeks regarding what is going on is abso ...

Hi All. Hope you are healthy and doing well in general. I'm new to posting on this site, though have been following it for years, receiving some invaluable information and tips. Thank you for that. Recently, however, I've been faced with upcoming termination in a few months due to my current employer's decision to outsource to Amphion. I know very little about this company, though from what I am learning it sounds like MTs are earning anywhere from 8-14 dollars per hour. Can anyon ...

I work for a company whose initials are TTS. I was told that QA works on editing and transcribing too and QA has the ability to assign work to themselves. In other words not only do they take work away from the MT but they can choose which work/dictators they want to do. Isn't this a conflict of interest? I know other companies do not allow double dipping but it was confirmed to me TTS does this and that the QA people have the ability to pick and cho ...

Has anyone at the Q been getting hit by "critical errors" on crazy stuff that has never been an issue BEFORE? All of the sudden, after no feedback for about a month, no audits, nada, zilch, I got my audit and was given critical feedback for not capitilizing a department! (recovery room, radiology suite, cardiac cath lab...) AND, in a verbatim report, with a client profile that says specifically, DO NOT ADD A HEADING IF ONE IS NOT DICTATED, for NOT adding a heading! This makes me nuts ...

If we get a "syntax error" message on a post we have just made, how do we get back in to correct the error without losing the entire post? Every so often I forget, and put an apostrophe in the subject line, and end up losing the entire post. I've tried the "back" button, "Alt-Z" (undo), etc., but it's all gone once that syntax message appears. ...

I work in a surgery center/clinic in medical transcription. I have never worked in the medical field before, so I'm not sure what is acceptable. We get massive amounts of documentation errors from the nurses in the surgery center and in the clinic. Is this usually acceptable?! Is it normal for a transcriptionist to be required to scan over the chart and correct all of their errors or should this be the responsibility of the nursing staff? It's DRIVING me up a wall! I'd say 75 ...

I am a relatively new MT with a pretty good track record at my current job. I have been working there for about 6 months. Well, we just got a new acct, and my company was understaffed. I have been working myself to death. I should be able to do more, but I am a new MT, and I do not type very fast (about 55-60 wpm, slower when I am tired). They have a certain amt of mins of dication you are supposed to complete each day, and they have been giving me more than that. I have been completing what I c ...

PLEASE NO NEGATIVE FEEDBACK! This is truly meant to be helpful, not snotty, threatening, or negative so I expect the same in return.

If the CP states that time is transcribed "3:00 a.m." this is for "regular" time and not military time. Spacing: TWO spaces after periods that end ...

Okay ladies, do you ever have a case of brain fog? I've had it for the last 2 days. I have it at this very moment!

Has anyone heard of complaints with erroneous information in medical records due to EMR or point and click? My mother recently had to get medical clearance for joint surgery. Her physician went to some form of EMR. They questioned why she was taking a narcotic cough suppressant and insulin listed under her medications in the computer. She was shocked and stated she had never taken those meds. Another family member, who does not drink, got a copy of his most recent physical required yearly f ...

I have been working for Nuance since November. Not my choice, BTW. Does anyone look at their FIESA alerts when they are sent to your email? I am wondering how much experience some of those people have. I have seen errors that they say I did that, after my 31 years of experience doing transcription, I know I did not or would never do. I had one yesterday that said the error was "will follow with you". The correction they put was "will follow with you". Now correct me if I am wrong, but I think th ...

I have been working for Nuance for 5-1/2 years now. I, of course, consider myself a very conscientious and diligent MLS. Lately, I have noticed "mistakes" that I really DO NOT BELIEVE I made. Here is an example "800 calorie ADA diet". Supposedly I did not blank out the 800. I believe I would have, as 800 calorie diet would have set up an alarm in my head, for sure. I want to know if others are having the same problem. Also there is a spot where supposedl ...

Thought I was going to make it through today with no Major error but no such luck. I typed "There are" and they heard "The" Trust me either way the sentence says the same thing and in no way changes the meaning of the sentence so I get dinged a major error for this. I really hope these quality people get good bonuses for these type things. Just another major error to add to my very long list. More in the last 2 weeks then in my entire career of being a transcription ...

It seems like every morning when I check my email there is at least one major alert in my box - no critical - but always something that they are complaining about. The one today was completely ridiculous, I don't want to be too specific just in case they read this board but I did what they said I didn't do. Going to contest but so maddening!!! It seems the harder I try the more they just pick me apart about stuff. ...

Has anybody ever had the experience on the EditScript or other platforms with Nuance where you got feedback from Fiesa saying you made errors you didn't make-text either inserted or left out? I have been charged with CPSE and major errors with random words stuck in places where I know I would've seen and corrected it but when they check the draft it's showing that I missed it. Maybe I'm going crazy but some of those errors I'm almost positive I didn't ma ...

.....for missing a pronoun at the begininng of a sentence... Symptoms started instead of His symptoms started....major error? I think not. Minus 1.0 whole point for me! There is no consistency in the grading of reports. And again I say, this is a subjective error...someone heard it, I did not and it does not matter anyway. Doctors do not dictate complete sentences all the time. Not to mention the fact that this NP dictator is ALL over the place...go back here, change ...
