How Low Have We Fallen? May 22, 2014This comment, inside a thread below, really hit me. I always suspect that comments like these are posted by either HR or social media dept inside Nuance. Of course, that is really unknowable. But just for the sake of discussion, let's assume that this actually is the sentiment of a real, flesh and blood Nuance transcriptionist. Is this the "new normal" for an MT ... to have an employer meets payroll !#:??#! Yikes.

How Many Times Have You Fallen Below Mar 19, 2015UGH -- I am feeling sick with myself -- it looks like it'll be 2 weeks in a row that I have "fallen off the grid" and had below 99% QA. I do NOT want to lose my job. I know Nuance has plenty of issues, but I still like my hours, my accounts, and have not had many problems.
When do you start getting reprimanded or whatever for being below 99%?

I Want More Practice Oct 17, 2009I am loving the company I am working for. I am new to the field, and they have helped me so much to develop my skills.

Moving Practice To EMR. Dec 22, 2009I received a call today from a doctor that I know. His practice is switching over to EMR, and he wants someone to coordinate that transition. New patients are easily entered into the system, but he has a temporary need to get the old records into the EMR system. His office staff is too busy to add this big job to their workload, and I think he correctly determined that he needs someone who can read the old office records, understand them, and then extract the info that needs to ...
Does Anyone Do Family Practice? Apr 30, 2011I have been doing transcription for about 7 years now, but almost all of that has been doing family practice work in SOAP note fashion.
