Accentus--Ambulatory Care - Nel

Posted: Feb 09, 2013

Would like to hear from anyone who took the transcription test for the above company in regard to how you actually can play the sound files. My foot pedal would not work with their voice files. I would click on the start button and the dictation would start and just keep going. I could not pause, stop it, or anything else insofar as controlling it so I could actually type anything. I e-mailed them with questions but never heard anything back until hours later in the day and they said I had to use my mouse to control it??????? What the heck! Never heard of that before. So I go back and try to do that but it said I had completed the dictation part and I could no longer access the voice files. How are we supposed to test if they don't first give us instructions on how this works?????

I tested with them before Nuance - sm

bought them. I passed the test, but I think they saw that I was already with Nuance and never offered me a job because what would be the point? Anyway, I wouldn't waste my time there. I don't remember having a bad experience testing with them or during any of the correspondence back and forth, but since they are now owned by Nuance you can expect their pay scales to change to fit Nuance's soon.

I would like to know the answer to OP question - if anyone knows SM

This is what holds me back from testing, problems like this.

What I did -sm - DZ

As instructed, I downloaded the Express Scribe and the software for the footpedal and it worked no problem except for sound quality not so good. I couldn't slow down without it distorting. But I made it through.

This was for the oncology position they just advertised for which is done on the Inscribe Emdat platform and the voice files were on Adobe which gave you a blank screen to type in and the 2 voice files with a start button you clicked on. Once you clicked on the start button, the dictation began. The first file was for a doc who didn't breathe. One of those really fast talkers. There was no way to pause or adjust anything, so you just had to try to type the whole thing nonstop. I was unable to do that. Later they told me you were supposed to use your mouse to control the speaker. I wonder why they couldn't have told me that to begin with. I really wanted the chance to do that test because there aren't very many ads for doing just oncology work.

I was asked to take the transcription test for the above company, but can't figure out how to control the speed or turn the sound down. My foot pedal doesn't work with this one. Does anyone know how to do this? I have sent them an email asking, but guess they don't have the time to answer. Would appreciate any help given. Thx. By the way, does anyone know what their starting cpl rate is? ...

I see on this site and another that when listing jobs for Accentus, they list benefits for full time on the acute care side but nothing on the ambulatory side. It is my understanding that on what is formerly known as Zylomed, you are IC for a couple of months. After that, are there benefits and if so, are they the same for that given to the acute care section? Thank you. ...

On the website they say 1+ years of experience for Acute Care but 5+ years of experience for Ambulatory. I would have thought Acute Care would be more difficult.....???

Does anyone know why Accentus Acute Care seems to always have the same job ad hiring for acute care MTs that pays a sign-on bonus? It seems as though either they never fill these positions or they are so difficult nobody stays. I would be interested in applying, but the last time I tried to apply with them on the ambulatory side, I could not get the voice file to work. Is this even worth applying for? What is their cpl rate and do they pay for spaces? Thanks for any ...

Can anyone working with Accentus tell me a little about their acute care accounts - how are the dictators, lines, amount of work, etc.? Also, how are they as far as a company to work for? Have the opportunity to work either for a hospital as an employee or with Accentus - not sure which to choose. Thanks for your help. ...

So, I've been offered a job with both Accentus and Brietner Transcription. I have done my research on both companies, but really struggling to pick one. I really don't want to make the wrong decision. Seems from doing my homework, the potential to make more is at Accentus, but Brietner employees seem pretty happy there too. Can anyone shed any light on what it's like to work for either company? I would be very grateful!! ...

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

On the Ambulatory side, how do we find out what our QA% is? Is it supposed to be in FIESA? The only report I see in FIESA is from 11/8 to 11/14 payweek and it says Accuracy 100%. There are no reports for any other pay week. Also, how do we find out what percentage we sent to QA? I know under the new plan if we send more thn 10% to QA we get a reduced line rate, but I have no idea how much I send to QA. Help please? ...

I was just wondering if anyone posts here that work for the Nuance Ambulatory Care side of things. All I see here are what appears to be posts from the acute care side and they are not very favorable. I will probably get hung on this board for saying this, but so far things are pretty good on this side of the fence. Same managers, same good accounts, plenty of work. Flexible schedule. Not crazy about all the logging in to everything (WorldClient, WebClock, Spark), b ...

I have been reading the board down a ways, about the arguments and negative comments between acute care and ambulatory care sides of Nuance. I, too, work on the ambulatory care side and we were acquired by Nuance almost 2 years ago. Yes, we used to be Accentus and no, except for becoming employees and the things that go with that status, nothing else has changed. We work M-F, weekends if we want to. We do not work holidays and the TAT reflects that on our accounts when a ...

I work with the ambulatory team (ortho clinic notes). I have 2 exclusive dictators and 2 that are shared with a couple other MTs. I was originally with On~Time Transcription. We were acquired by Accentus, and Accentus was acquired by Nuance a short time later. The Nuance acquisition took place in November 2012 I believe, and we were switched from IC to employees earlier this year in April. I’m not completely clear on what FIESA is and how it works, but from what I have read it isn&rs ...

I am ambulatory and I got the e-mail, have not heard about the video, but the e-mail mentioned conference calls with our TSMs. I would imagine the TSMs asked for a video so the calls would go better and maybe a few less questions? ...

I understand nothing of this. I don't understand FIESA because I was not under it. However, what I do understand is a cut in pay. I'm doing well right now if make $200.00/week, mostly OOW, working a total of probably 3 days a week, and $200/week is actually on the higher side of the estimate. So, here is my prayer for me and all you warriors. Come Lord Jesus, come. Deliver us out of Egypt, from this Pharaoh known as Nuance. Such deception is a ...

Now I understand how there were glowing reports of being happy and making good money. Welcome to the way acute care works ambulatory folks. We have a pool of accounts and reports come in with the one closest to turnaroundtime first. No picking or choosing what you transcribe or edit. Like I have 7 accounts and get all work types and dictators. At least that is how it works for my group that was swallowed up by the N. We have a schedule and we have to stick to it unless we ...
