and while we were Transcend, it was so busy we worked OT to keep up. Now am lucky if I have consistent work. I am so sick of this.

One thing Nuance is always willing to do is move you around. I moved to 5 different accounts this past year before finally landing on one with a TON of work, though I did have to modify my schedule a tiny bit. The only day I ran out was Christmas day and I still got 1500 lines in that day (not great but also not 0).
I am wondering why in the past 2 months or so the VR on my main account has become worse than when the drs were first VR. I am finding myself typing more than 50% of the supposed VR instead of just editing it and dropping my paycheck even further. This is very frustrating when you are stuck on a VR for triple the time or more of the actual audio time. I proposed this question to upper management and their response was that they have no idea why this is happening, but they are seeing this a ...
Does not surprise me.. the Canned reports featured in EPIC I am sure will take over to completely do away transcriptionists. Clearly healthcare is okay with homogenous reports that really are not particular to the patient, just trying to stay within the slimmest margin of the law. It's like legal liability insurance...the bare minimum required. ...
Always makes me wonder about a hospital when one doctor gets sick with a cold, and then the rest of them get sick. That doesn't happen in every hospital. Their hoarse voices are screwing up ASR extra and their hoarse voices hurt my ears! ...
Anyone know why the workload at DTSOK has virtually disappeared the past 2 weeks. Any info provided would be appreciated...need to know if it is time to move on. Thank you. ...
So from new info I just got, post audit scores are virtually impossible to reverse. So apparently the people in that deptartment, QA or QC - whicever it is, must be Goddesses as that would imply they never make mistakes.
Our bonuses hinge entirely on these particular audits and they are WRITTEN IN STONE. I find this kind of outrageous.
There is no human being who is perfect, so I have to assume that Nuance has hired this crew from Mt Olympus (I suppose they m ...
Something is seriously wrong. I am very rarely OOW on my main acct, especially on Friday nights. Had no work in there all afternoon, now 2 reports and it looks like there are some people who are getting jobs. Either work is very sparse or too many people are in my account flexing from earlier in the week. ...
Bronchoscopy procedure note -
After induction of general anesthesia, the patient had an endotracheal tube placed. Normal trachea and *s/l sharp
main* carina. Normal right and left bronchial tree.

There is a poster there who is posting blatantly wrong information about coding. Someone needs to post the correct information. I corrected one of the errors, but someone with more experience could probably do a better job of providing the facts. ...
have something called "CAC", (Computer-Assisted Coding".)
Automation aside, just the fact that M*Modal is getting it's dirtly little hands into coding doesn't bode well for the field. ...
And found I still need my hip boots on for all the cr** that's on here. Never seen a more depressing, hateful, self pitying bunch of people in my life. ...
with a link to the Dept of Labor. I encourage all of you to go check it out and write to them if you feel moved to do so. Maybe if they get enough inquiries about this company, someone will take a look at them. All I want to know, bottom line, is if they can legally do this, meaning cutting our line rate in half and our produced lines in half and then further reduction for what they deem as quality issues (which is very subjective in the best case scenario). It would be n ...
On the main board there is a message titled "Gotta Vent" and the following replies regarding coding have made me sick to my stomach, especially because a couple people stated seeing their coding departments wiped out by the EMR systems.
Could someone shed some light on this? I am in a coding class now and I am not feeling so hot....but be honest.
Thank you! ...
We recently had a new account start and the doctors often do not dictate all the main headings of the template that loads. The hospital keeps changing their mind as to keep it unused main heading in versus take it out if not dictated. Typically, I have always removed it if it was not dictated. But what do most of you do? Thanks for sharing your experience. ...
I recognize the name used - it is by someone in upper management. At least she is using her real name - maybe she had second thoughts of using Hawkeye - LOL.

What is going on with those main terms? My coding textbook keeps wanting me to identify the main term, but I can't figure out which one it is. If you can find something under three different words in the Alphabetic Index, how do you know which is the main term? The one I choose is never the one the book says is right!
This is frustrating. Does this mean I am not cut out to be a coder? ...
This is quite the eye opener and may explain why a lot of us are running out of work. Part of the problem is the complete mismanagement by TSMs and COMs, but the overall issue may be that EPIC is growing by leaps and bounds. It does not bode well for us MLSs. ...
I read with interest the article contained in the post on the main board because it occurred to me that this is the only industry I know where as an employee, for most companies today, Nuance not excepted, you accept a job and then you, the employee, provide your own equipment, you pay the expense to have your computer repaired and when it is down you are not paid for the downtime, you pay your ISP internet charges (which can be costly if you are running extra turbo charged service to meet minim ...
entitled "A little help from a friend" singing the praises of Nuance and how "you will love it here" and "don't believe what you read, we're all trolls." Trying hard to get that referral bonus! ...
What a flippin joke. Didnt Amy say she was going to keep us in 1 account????
OMG, I have done evey account in my BOB this morning as well as some other Bob.
I cant keep my head on straight anymore. It is spinning like a top. My production is down to minimum and I am at risk of being fired for not meeting production because some idiot decides to open the cesspool!
GO CCMs! GET YOUR 100% TAT... SCREW THE REST OF US. ...
.... I read notes below to this effect. Oh, and don't forget to NOT count QC lines and scores when you calculate your QA score on FIESA.
...or just ignore it altogether.
