pain scale *s/l swashu?* - noidea
Posted: Jun 12, 2014
Context - The patient's pain is about a 2/10 on a s/l swashu scale total. s/l Swashu scale is an 11.
He says this twice, but I can't decipher it well. Is this an abbreviated term, maybe? Patient is a new consult and this is also a new account for me, so I can't look this up via old records. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!

I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain.

Pay Scale 3/6 - I Want A Job Like This...
Jun 04, 2014
Lets see if i make 3/6 a line that comes to 250 x 0.03 = 7.50 an hour -- wow minimum wage. 150 x 0.06 = 9.00 an hour -- McDonald's wages. At 4/7 250 x 0.04 = 10.00 an hour - Do you see the different 1 cents makes? 150 x 0.07 = 10.50 an hour even if you did slightly better and could do 300 lines an hour editing you would only get 9.00 an hour. So to make any money there, you would have to literally kill yourself. TTS IS NO GOOD. period end of sto ...
FOCUS PAY SCALE

I posted this question below but fear it will be buried. To those of you just hired at Focus, how's the pay scale? I currently make 8.5 straight/4.5 editing.

TIA to anyone willing to give me a ballpark hint here! ...

Incentive Pay Scale

I am wanting to submit a proposal to my company owner about implementing an incentive-based pay scale to help with some issues we are having with people not working consistently and to reward those who are putting in overtime, etc. I am having a hard time finding any information on this as far as like a sample scale. As far as I understand it you make your base pay say for example 7 cpl for the first x lines, then for the next y lines you make an additional 0.025 cpl and so on up the line... If ...

MedQuist Pay Scale

Am going to see if they can sweeten the deal but wanted to find out from those of you currently working for them what your experience is with their pay rate. I currently have 0.11 and 0.145 with other providers but need additional work to cover the nut. What is your experience with the shift work of 12-6 and 4-10? Do you physicall ...

Function Scale
Jan 31, 2013
For *pain* scale (1-10), i was taught to add the range if not dictated. Example: D: Pain was a 5. T: Pain was a 5/10. I'm not familiar with *function* scale. This is a spine surgeon. This particular patient is having neck and shoulder issues (if that matters). Is there a specific *function* scale? If so, what is the range and do you add it like the pain scale, or do you guys just type as dictated without adding the range? ...

Indian MT Pay Scale
Mar 27, 2013
As best I can calculate, the Indian MTs are started at about $40/week. This is not an error. I looked at both the application from Nuance (which can be found by googling) as well as the exchange rate. So when you see all the "extras" they are offered, try not to be jealous; they can't buy groceries with those extras. Apparently they are as dissatisfied with the management of the MTSOs as are we Americans. The question seems to be how many will continue to work for such low salaries and ...

Medquist And Transcend Pay Scale?

I'm a current Webmedx employee and looking to work elsewhere, as I can no longer support myself with this company even with a second job. I'm wondering what the pay scales are for Medquist and Transcend.
