about health records but what about financial records? They could do a lot more damage to a person.

information from being sent overseas, i.e. credit card call centers, etc.
Since your medical records contain such information as your SSN, address, phone numbers, etc. I would say the financial risk is pretty great.
Just because work is going overseas or - sm

wherever, does not mean your SSN, address, etc., are accessible to those typing it. The entire chart does not go over, just the dictation. Unless it is dictated into the report or the MT has access to the entire record, that info does not leave the states. Just like here, I have access to previous reports, but I do not have access to the personal info.
SS and info - sm

Does it really matter if your information is going overseas or here in the states? I certainly do not like my job going overseas, but as far as the personal information, there are many people in this country who use your personal information for bad things. Do you really think your personal information would be safer here in the states. NOT!

I Applied For Financial Aid At My Local Community College Yesterday Jun 22, 2012I'm taking my first steps to get out of this field - I'm 48 years old, I've dedicated myself to Medquist/MModal for 16 years of my life and I am making less today than my 15-year-old son who just got his very first job. In my lifetime, I never thought I would be 48 years old, on Food Stamps and barely making minimum wage in a field I gave nearly half my life to. It is a complete insult.

Supervisor Upset Jan 18, 2015...because so many people are not making 99.5% accuracy in their audits. Perhaps it is time to consider that whoever promised the client 99.5% accuracy has something quite strong in their medicine cabinet. For years, the standard has been 98% and that is for a reason. That number is possible with humans. Machines sure can't deliver 99.5%; just ask anyone who has to correct the harebrained interpretations of SR, which never learns, by the way. Do the doctors hav ...

TSMs are sending out their famous backlogs....THEY should know I am OOW, but I feel almost guilty telling them I am OOW. I have had TSMs tell me that no one else was OOW on such and such a date.

Kinda Upset, Would Like Input Mar 25, 2012I've been working in an office for only about 3 months now after about 12 years in-home transcription. It's a busy office for a doctor who is kind of a "superstar" in his field and I love it. Here's the thing... it's a new practice, the entire staff has been here for less than a year and we don't all have hardly any PTO saved up (less than a year and all...) and the doc is going to be closing up the office for 2 weeks to go on vacation. Several of ...
No Longer Surprised But Always Still Upset--sm Nov 06, 2014Yes, I have seen this enough times that it no longer surprises me. There were 18 reports on my primary. I have an hour left of my shift. When I anticipated downloading the next one, all 18 were gone, gone, gone. It is upsetting. I would try adjusting my schedule but it would do no good, there normally is too little work during that time as it is. I already will be taking about 3 hours of PTO for being OOW on Sunday. It would be 4 but I have made up some ...
BayScribe Status Quo Today Despite Upset MTs Dec 17, 2014I see that there' no feedback on World Client from the meeting leaders regarding yesterday's heated teleconference discussion, just the usual "KEEP SMILING" (we AREN'T) cliche's and even a request for coverage commitments for the New Year's Day period.

Nuance should realize that, at the very least, some of us have learned to transcribe right through their stupid bogus scripts, some have even had the same script twice, it has happened so frequently, and we have learned how to do screen shots and keep meticulous records and ... warn others about it.
