Agree about Oncology, not easy account . sm

In Reply to: I am an MT for Oncology and there - Just me
to learn, especially the medications, about half of which are experimental and not on the FDA-approved marked yet - thus, limited lookup and references on them. I did Oncology FT for 3.5 years at the Q for MD Anderson and was quite a challenging account/specialty that had to be slowly learned.

If it's the same oncology account that I believe was in
Chicago or thereabouts, run very quickly. They had a very hard time staffing that account and went so far as to take all the other accounts away from some MTs just so they would have to work on the oncology account. That's why I left. I was with them for a year and found them to be very MT unfriendly, although they say they have changed. But beware, Jan Clay (the recruiter) worked for many years at EDiX which is now Spheris, so that should tell you something.
Anybody know who has an oncology account ? sm
Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net. I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less. I have 10 years experience. Any suggestions? It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.
For oncology or for any account?
nm
Oncology Account
It uses Word-based AllScripts platform -- very easy to use. My favorite platform! You need Windows XP -- not Vista and a wav pedal. They start people between 8 and 9 cpl based on experience.
TransTech Oncology account
Plenty of work. Don't know about the other questions.
TransTech Oncology Account
Anyone out there work on the TT oncology account? I have been working on this new account and would like to hear from other transcriptionists regarding what they think of this account, software, able to get line counts, etc.
TIA
Landmark oncology account
Anyone out there work for Landmark on the oncology account? If so, how do you like this account? Are you able to get your line count? How is the company to work for? Pay on time? Thanks.
TransTech oncology ASR account
Looking for input from transcriptionists who work for TT on the big oncology ASR account. Would you please share how this account is insofar as getting your required line count. I have been working in hem/onc for over 7 years and having trouble finding regular transcription work in this field so I am thinking of going to ASR. Are you able to make enough money to live doing this account? Is it difficult to learn the Escription platform?
One more thing...does TT hire any PT (30 hours per week) workers or not? Flex schedule at all?
Thanks for your input.
Proscript -- Oncology VR account
Would like to hear from someone who works on Proscript's recently advertised oncology account doing VR transcription. Is there enough work, a lot of ESL dictators, pros and cons please. Thank you.
I currently work for GIMT oncology account
and love it. Platform is word based. Owner is a great lady, very flexible with schedule. The onc account that I have has excellent dictators. Very nice QA people, very consistent.
Anyone work on the oncology account at Transtech?
Saw ad and curious what the account and the company was like. Thanks. 
Question to any Transtech MTs on the oncology account...
I was wondering if the oncology account out of Texas was staying in work of if it was in a slump. I used to work on it and was looking at going back, if they are needing help, but was not sure if it was keeping work or not. I sure do miss it. You can email me privately. Thanks.
Transtech has a huge oncology account
:)
what are you talking about - there is a huge backlog on the oncology account....
they are even offering bonuses to help get the work load into TAT. What account are you on and what center are you talking about?
You obviously are on an easy account sm
Not everyone is quite that lucky. Some really have to struggle to make their lines due to tough dictators and voice quality issues.
An easy account; I see, you don't
have to put any effort or pride into your work. Typical of those who bite the hand that feeds them. B**ch and complain, moan and groan, oh poor me, I'm taken advantage of, boo hoo. You have to come here and be anonymous to do your complaining. You have probably never had the guts to talk to your account manager or lead about your concerns with the company. Go back to the easy as pie work and stay stagnant, like a moldy pond.
I make that on an easy rad account
NM
I was down about the account last week but now love it. It was easy to get used to. The first sm
day was really rough, the second was a just as bad but 2 weeks into it and I really like it. My counts are good too, averaging right around 1400 lines a day, which is good for these old fingers. Docuscribe is great, but I have worked on it before for the big Q.
Unbelievable! So you have an easy account and make a
decent living, yet you come on this board and trash TT all the time! That really is two-faced. You don't deserve to work for TT! 
I have an easy account and make a decent living.
And while you are at it, TT Management,
BITE ME!!! You were fools to file this lawsuit. $294.50 to lose all credibility in the MT World. Sad, truly sad...
And many thought you were one of the good guys.
been with spheris 4.5 years, easy platform, good clinic account
nm
how horrible but Acusis/DRC outsources to India, just what Spheris will do with that easy account. n

I agree Chartnet is very easy
to use, however I do use my Expander all the time. My old hands need all the help they can get.
I agree, strong accusations and easy to do anonymously.
Use your real name, like Rhonda had the guts to do. Even if what you say about Rhonda is half way true (doubtful) -- at least she had the guts to use her real name.
I agree. I am only part time so far, but I love it. The platform is easy, and sm
the people are great. I feel very fortunate to have stumbled onto them.
I agree that it is an easy platform, but compared to other platforms I have used, lines are harder
to get, probably counted or weighted differently.
agree, IMEs are great $$, easy reports, miss them, would love to find them
nm
Anyone know of a company, easy clinic work, easy Word format, dependable pay? Help!
x
Don't agree they need to contact others on account (sm)
seems like that is just asking for trouble.
I agree - same account for 4 years.
I do have secondary accounts, though. This is a good thing so I never run out of work.
I agree, I think it's probably account specific.
On both my accounts I log directly into the facility system, so if that account were to want coverage for particular hours, then I think that's probably what KS tries to provide. Luckily my two don't care so long as the work gets done and they stay in turnaround.
I agree with this poster, take the ESL account
Honestly, I really don't know why so many people try to avoid them. Once you learn them, they are no different than some of the horrible EFL docs. Plus it is more money!
Agree - No shortage on my account
I don't recall seeing any complaints about no/low work at TT really until the switchover to voice recognition on some accounts. I can't help but wonder if those running out of work are the ones refusing to do VR.
Oh well, I'm back to typing, too...tons of work on there to be done!
AGREE! When my primary account went ISR........
I took about a $200 to $300 a month pay cut. Don't think this won't happen with this new system. Will soon be paying them for the priviledge of working for them.
I love it. It is fast, easy to learn and easy to use.
I agree with her, but a lot depends on supervisor and account.

I agree with her, but a lot depends on supervisor and account.

I agree..I have been very busy on my account and have not even been on this board (sm)
for 3 days in a row. I am still with KS and very happy. A couple weeks ago I posted my true feelings about working there because they were true and after the horrors I experienced at Medquist the last year I was there, KS is a refreshing change of pace. If someone doesn't like the fact that people who work for KS are genuinely happy, don't read the posts about them. I am not a member of management or someone who was coerced to write how I feel about my job. I have worked for 4 MT companies in the past 15 years and Keystrokes is far and away the best. I do not like switching companies either so I plan on staying with Keystrokes for the duration of my career.
so, you know for sure this account agrees to be offshored? (some do not agree).
nm
I agree, especially when one can set up a g-mail account in 2 minutes
I can't imagine a reputable employer using an email address like theirs. Utterly unprofessional.
Agree, I was recently offered .10 for a high ESL account as an IC. nm

Platform very easy and quick - easy to get used to. :)

Oncology
Intellitype was looking specifically for oncology about a week or so ago.
Oncology
Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about. I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies. I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Much appreciated.
Who is looking for oncology MTs? I have...sm
 20 years experience (teaching hosp), plus ortho and cardiology, and multispecialty clinic. No OB/GYN, tho. Anyone? TIA.
I will be doing oncology.....sm
but I know they were looking for Ortho MTs also.
ONCOLOGY
I was to be training on a new oncology account this week but I have decided to quit KS.
KS Oncology
I do know when KS did the mass hiring about a month ago for a new Oncology acct, I was hired. It was Allscripts platform and was a realllll dream, but the reports were so incredibly brief (4-6 lines)that there was no way I could make my line count unless I was glued to my chair and the voice file was not the greatest either. Needless to say, I stayed with my current company.
I did ask for a backup account and it was the same way as well, few lines per report.
I love Oncology and have been doing it for many years, but I am used to doing clinic consults, full office notes, etc.
4.5 and 5.5 for oncology i believe.
xx
I am an MT for Oncology and there
is no way I would type it for that amount of money. It is not an easy speciality. You get what you pay for.
Looking for oncology work.....sm
Looking for a part-time IC position that consists mainly of hematology/oncology work. No national companies please. If you have any leads, please leave your email and I will send a resume. Thanks!
