ADHI turned their backs on us 4 years ago.  I am not a member, nor are any of the other Initiative Volunteers - ADHI supports offshore, VR, EMR, and they threw us under the bus - they are run by MTSO's and administrators - NOT MTS.

We have made it quite clear to them this week that we will be a completely separate entity, will not accept support in the form of monies, materials or advice, and that MTs ONLY will vote for our choices, goals and boundaries.

USMLSU will not discriminate against MTs who are AHDI members currently, however, we would ask that they become completely informed about who and what AHDI stands for at this time.  It's not your momma's AAMT.

All of our office space, equipment, and supplies are donated by non-biased, non-medical companies, office equipment suppliers who are quite accustomed to working with union personnel (shippers, etc.), and they are not intimidated by solidarity.

IMO, is next to nil.  They are not who decides that certification is a requirement.  The industry would have to be on board with that.  Since the MT industry can't agree on what a line is, what an MT is, how payment should be rendered, etc, and since it's heavily impacted by the dollar, it's not likely that you will see mandatory certification any time soon.

Health Information Technology positions will often request certification by AHIMA.  It has taken AHIMA a long time to get where they are and ADHI is still years behind.

I have another profession and yes, for the most part, all fees including continuing education, as well as certifications fall to me.  There are some employers who will reimburse or pay up front, however.

Look at how many ads REQUIRE CMT.  And ask the question, who has not been hired because they didn't have it.

IMO, certification of offshore personnel is going to be designed to placate possible purchasers of those services by certifying legitimacy.  You are more likely to find offshore certification required well before you see it here. (Which is unfortunate because there are many US MTs whose skills are severely lacking just as much as some offshore MTs.)

Outsource is what hospital do when they send their dictation to a company such as Transcend or OSI.

Offshoring is when they send their dictation to overseas transcriptionists.  It is easy to confuse the two.

Diskriter and OSi also offshore. 

Rather than have new posters search through tons of archives for answers to this question, maybe a list should be made of all companies that do offshore and posted permanently on the board, with revisions made as new ones come up.  Just a suggestion...please no flames!

I saw this on their website under hospital solutions:

We offer a choice of Domestic or Philippine based medical transcription services with U.S based Quality Assurance specialists, and 24-hour or STAT file turnaround.

also slipped that the best dictators are offshored while the garbage is left for US MTs to do.   The recruiter told me that I was lucky that an account that almost never has any openings because all the MTs love it and don't leave had an opening.   After she mentioned the name I knew she was full of BS because I had worked on the account when I worked at YOG and I knew how difficult the account was.   When I talked to the team leader she told me what a difficult account it was and that they couldn't keep MTs on it because it was so difficult.  

The recruiter and the team leader IM'd the entire time I was talking to them, which I felt was very distracting and unprofessional. 

I turned down the position so can't give you any specifics, but they sure did leave a bad taste in my mouth and I would never recommend them. 

they have in the past.   They lost so many accounts due to the poor quality of the offshore work.   Positions are IC only and no direct deposit.  I don't know how much work there is with Rad account, but there isn't much work otherwise. 

I wouldn't recommend QT until they can prove themselves again.  You can go back through the archives and read past posts about all the issues the last few months.   There are still lots of hard feelings and lots of good MTs still struggling trying to find positions with decent companies.
