Keystrokes is wonderful!! They are the nicest people and care 150% about their people!!
Excellent company!!!!
Heartland - we take care of our people people
I meant in quotation marks, not parentheses.
I'm not sure if most people care...
or not, but what I do know is that when the facility gets work done for cheap, the savings is most definitely not passed on to the consumer (patient). If patients are going to be paying the same price regardless of where their reports are transcribed, they should demand that they are receiving accurate documentation of their encounter (regardless of where it is transcribed). After all, they are paying for it. Also, one patient right of HIPAA is the right to review and amend/correct your medical records.
I honestly don't think most people care
Most health care providers don't care who is typing it as long as they can get it cheap. I don't think most people care either as long as it doesn't impact them in a financial sense.
So let's say you get all the ICs to download the hospital's platform. Fine. Now who is going to QA their work? Who is going to manage the work flow and the staffing so work is done consistently and on time? Hospitals don't want to deal with that. They want the MTSOs to handle it and do it for as cheap as possible.
All these people care about is getting rich, no
The TV people care about ratings s/m
Try mass letters and phone calls to your congress men/women. An election year is coming up. Mine took an acute interest in things that are not right in the MT business. Not to mention the fact that at the present time they are supposedly looking to trim the fat in health care.
But that is why she has people who work for her, to take care of other things when she has
mmmmm
Also acute care here and maybe the clinic people
should have learned how to branch out to acute rather than losing jobs to EMR if that is the case.
True, and it seems less people care. I get angry when I see the lying ad sm
but I am powerless to stop it, so I might as well give up. I wonder if the clients even know what really happens to their dictation, that it goes to India first, then to the MTs. The work IS done by american MTs, so that is a plus, although they even tried outsourcing to another Indian company and lied to the MTs that it was due to the holidays ... this was at the end of January, no holidays.
If they want to be upfront and say they are an Indian-owned, Indian-operated company employing mostly American MTs, that's one thing -- people can make an informed decision -- but to say Kentucky based when the company HQ is in India is nothing other than deceit, and my fellow MTs deserve better than that. 
DSG - Really rude group of people, especially the acute care side.
Got tired of their snarky remarks and moved on. Make 25% more where I am now doing easier QA and really nice group of people. Good luck to you!
No, it isn't nice. Most people do acute care, rad, or clinics. Work

Dont care if you agree
It doesn't matter if you agree with me or not. Or if you buy into my claims. I am not making any claims. Just stating my opinion. Thank you.
Agree that most companies don't care - sm
about your problems, they just look at the bottom line and if the work is getting done or not. I had a similar experience with a different national. Mom was ill too, I was already PT but was not meeting quota, partly due to traveling to help out my dad and to see my mom, also due to no work when I logged on. I did talk to them about my situation and despite being told they understood and were fine with it, they canned me about 2 months into my mom's illness since I was not producing enough. So much for being understanding. I was doing the best I could in the circumstances. I understand their position, but don't say that it is okay and then fire you because you are not meeting quota (after they said it was okay not to). They were not shorthanded so it was not a question of keeping up with TAT, they had too many people and we were all fighting over the scraps as it was. I was not heart-broken to leave, it was their loss and I am glad to be away from all their crazy rules. I just went on to work more for my backup job in the long run.(I always work 2 to cover my butt).
i agree, isn't it said that a mother can care for
10 children, but 10 children cannot care for 1 mother. And, if one relies on others, one is already deserted.
While I agree with most of your post and honestly could care less,
by being the one posting what you do - posting your business - well, that's what brought the whole subject of you up!! No one is sitting around here wondering what Busy MTing is doing!! And, yes, you picked 2 companies who are in direct competition with each other - big time! I can't tell from your post cause I think you made a typo - I believe you're saying that MQ is not aware either, though I'm not sure. Having worked for both at one time as well - BEEN THERE DONE THAT - literally, I assure you that both would be interested to know, though MQ might not act on it! Again, no threat, no worrying, and you already stated you don't care. But not one of us would have mentioned one single syllable about "your business" had you NOT been the one to post it!! Get it?
I agree, but it is what it is.....the companies don't care about anything but TAT and lines, line
Unfortunately, it all boils down to the bottom line, money.
I believe a "thank you" is warranted in many cases, but don't hold your breath for one.
It is sad, very sad.
I agree. Acute care weekend work is different.
Acute care usually hires employees, pretty much, from what I can tell. They'll need coverage for weekends. If an IC or employee stipulates no weekends, and they are hired with that in mind, then why send work their way? This is the fault of the employer or client sending the work, not at all the MT. I kind of get tired of hearing how people get abused in this profession simply because they want a day off. We need days off just like everyone else, and someone who particularly wants to work those days will surely cover if there is an urgent report to be typed, but THIS PAYS MUCH MORE! STAT reports and weekend coverage should pay primo rate, in my opinion, and none of these MTSO's I have seen, so far, has come even close to the compensation I would look for to be at their beck and call. Enough said, I guess. 
I agree. I wonder why people think this will be the end of MQ chiseling them down. This is only the
beginning. More will come. Ever since Philips took over it has been one thing after the other. Do you really think it will stop now. Give me a break. They do these things little by little. Did you ever notice. That way they can be ready when a lot quit. If Amherst is any clue to how things are going to be run throughout MQ I guarantee you there will be a lot of MTs leaving MQ.
LOL, I agree! Some of these people are scary. nm

totally agree - nice people though -nm
nm
Also agree, but I think the rude QA people mentioned are gone. nm

I agree 100%. You people have absolutely no idea
of this person's capacity for selflessness and generosity, to the point of putting herself last in an effort to achieve many goals and in the face of adversities I wouldn't wish on the harshest critics here (although youse guys are tempting me!). If you didn't cut with through her, there is a reason for that and I know her employer cuts to the chase much more deftly than you would be able to withstand so I know she backs this recruiter 100%. They both can run circles around you. You have no idea how tightly knit some MTSOs are and the ones here bad mouthing this person won't stand a chance getting a job in certain places if their lives depended on it.
Go sell crazy somewhere else.
I agree 100%. People should know better, but those of us are who loyal will remain so.
nm
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD
x
I agree. I mean I realize you have to have some idea what people are doing
because of the work that has to be done but not to this extent. You are right, I might as well be an employee somewhere. She doesnt hire employees just IC so I expect she feels a need to rule them like that or she has a problem with controlling people. It almost seems like that. There are other vendors on the account so maybe it is greed to keep pushing and pushing to get as much as she can. Who knows.
I would say most here would not agree with you that people from India get all their words right
You must have a very limited amount of people from India you do. I have an onslaught every day I work and most fracture the English language. I am sure probably 99.9% of MTers on here would disagree with that statement.
I agree. I think the reason why people crab about not
just as with many other companies, TT has trouble trying to hire for overnight, 2nd, 3rd shifts, and weekends. People want day, so TT hires them for day. But it is a 24-hour 7 day business and the docs generally dictate in the afternoon or late evening for the work they did that day and for the preadmissions for the next day, or emergencies. A long time ago when I worked in house I realized that working a different shift than everyone else would benefit me pay-wise, and work-wise, and now since I am at home, TT has worked with me to have a great schedule. Why great? I am flexible enough to work when other people are not willing to work, and TT appreciates that so in return they allow me to split my time working so I do have time to be with my family. The MTs who want day and only day, no weekends, etc. I am not blaming them, but that is where the work is eaten up by everyone else not willing to flex. Any company whether IC, SE, or Employee will have the same problem. Sorry such a long note, but I have not run out of work at the odd hours, and I don't believe that I will.
I agree, plus this affects people who don't work for
the state of the transcription industry.
I agree. Its a necessary evil. They exploit people who need insurance.
I work three jobs.. two in transcription and one doing insurance billing for a private physician. It is crazy how much the cost of medicine is and how bad insurance companies are gouging people.
I agree. Have people not learned its always slow after a holiday?!

Agree to point, but people need samples and also ability
xx
I soooooo agree with you! Their tech people are some odd ducks!! They never help me! nm

I wonder what the quality of the work is like adding all those people to accounts. I agree. They
will lose accounts this way and MTs will move on. No one is going to sit around and make no money and then have QA breathing down your neck when you are thrown into all these accounts. So no one listens in New York. What is the problem with them.
I agree. And black list or no, intelligent people take information
.
I try to be kind and give people the benefit of the doubt, but I have to agree. sm
It all sounds like a bunch of hooey. My ex husband used to tell lies when the truth would have worked better. Perhaps she is related to him.
I cannot believe any MT would not know at least the most important aspects of the BOS. True, with some accounts, you ignore the BOS and do it however the client wants it, but still, you should KNOW the rules.
Maybe I'll just put out a shingle and call myself a lawyer. Of course, I know nothing about the law ... but maybe that shouldn't be a problem. 
I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
I kinda agree. I enjoy working at TT, but this kind of "overkill" is why people sm
get tired of us talking so much on here. Every place I have ever worked has always paid early if the pay day fell on a holiday. Granted, they do not have to, and it is a nice and considerate thing to do, but hardly so much so as to make me want to burst into a chorus of Go Tell It On the Mountain. lol
Didnt think of it cause I dont care. Wouldnt care if
x
Of course they care. They care you make just a tad bit
this way they don't have to shell out the sign ons, the full-time benefits. Oh, they keep watch on how you are doing and their budget. THey will use you til you drop and try to tell you that it is your lack of skills or speed keeping you from the full time pay which a person can't even pay bills with to begin with. Imagine that.. Use your skills, work hard, try your best, do well on QA, but make short of full time so no benefits, no extras, and no paying bills. This adds up to you broke, them rich, and a no-win situation... for the MT that is...
People at TT have been paid! People who haven't well, maybe you did not make count and your check
after insurance deduction. Maybe your bank is holding it. Maybe anything! But we GOT PAID. This is NO LIE. And I am sick of this board. Nothing but disgruntled exemployees arguing with employees who like their job. Ugggg. I am working. BTW: THERE IS WORK (clears throat) remember that? Work?
I worked for SS and some people were very RUDE and I am talking about the editing people in some
instances. It ALL depends on the person, as it does with any company. They paid on time and the lady over me was very nice, but boy the person in QA was mean to EVERYONE!! Never seen anything like it before.
Are people trying to scare people or just tell them what is happening. I am not scared just seeing
that things are changing very rapidly and not for the better for me. If I have no work and need multiple accounts everyone else is in the same boat now arent they that have my accounts. That is how people know what is going on.
Maybe due to the people that manage Amherst. I think MQ would be a lot better off finding new people
up there with all the problems you hear about that office. Seems like something is very very wrong there.
I doubt it. There are more happy people than unhappy people sm
at Medquist. I've checked out other companies but I liked MQ the best (I kept working at MQ while testing other companies).
SO right! People who get paid to bring people on-board -sm
to these companies (few, if any, are 100% honest, it seems), are going to be honest and tell you anything that isn't rosy and sugar-coated. Having a good prospective MT walk because the company isn't so great means less green dollars in their bank account every month. They're not going to tell us anything that DOESN'T make them more money.
More people will come into VR because the qualifcations to do MT are not the same. Lots of people w
to work at home. It's all relative to what you are used to. The nationals are counting on this. I think MTs will work cheaper rather than reenter the work force with no other skills than MT. The nationals are counting on this.
They named people's names. That is not right. People just sm
need to keep from naming names. I thought it was an informative bit of information, but when you name names, then posts are way out of line.
I would really like to see a truly professional way of talking about a company. I don't care what board you go to, somehow people just do not want to play nice when it comes to talking about people. If those people could learn to be a little more professional and stop posting names to their wrath or anger, then that will be the day I can say I am proud to be in this profession. When I see those types of things, it makes my skin crawl. If it were me being talked about, I would be livid. I certainly understand why the posts were deleted.
Thank you for saying that. Most people here just love to trash people.
It is against board rules though.
For people at MDI-MD that say they are out of work, I see they are hiring now. Are people still
running out of work or did they get more accounts. I am interested in this company.
Honestly, people some people are lazy...
plain and simple, sad but true.
Dont kid yourself that people dont know what is going on. Do you honestly think these office people
dont talk. Maybe you should make sure you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.
