I work at home for a national now and I'm wondering if KU outsources or does in-house and about their benefits. Not a newbie, have 11 years experience in acute care. Rock chalk!

University of Iowa Med Center announced layoffs yesterday
I think the news report said they were getting rid of 130 people now, a total of 200 this year. Fortunately (their word, not mine), they're not going to have to make any cuts in people who have patient contact but in administrative areas (that'd be us). Truthfully, I'm not sure if they even still have in-house transcriptionists, but you know that if they do, they'll be the first to get their marching papers.
Try Kimball Medical Center
Doctor's Medical Center
I searched this board and couldn't find any specific info on this company. Does anyone work for them? Know anything positive or negative about them? Know about their pay scale?
CMC (Carolinas Medical Center)
is located in Charlotte, NC. I know, because I used to work there. They have bought A LOT of the hospitals in North Carolina. It is a VERY large corporation. Good company to work for.
Cheyenne Regional Medical Center
Does anyone know anything about what it is like to work for Cheyenne Regional Medical Center. Can you work remote? How is the pay?
Sonora Regional Medical Center
This seems to be the name of the hospital Janis Reed advised. She says the ad said weekend only. Rather snappy reply from her via email.
I see that Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is hiring.
"Training" is on location but after training, there will be multiple excuses as to why you can't go home to work. Supervisor is NEVER there. Pay is not TOO bad, but working in-house is horrible. Just thought I would throw my opinion in and try to save the next poor soul who falls for their "promises".
Another example of the "bizarreness" is when I worked for our regional medical center
Nicholas who was clearly of Indian descent kept faxing and calling the transcription department of our hospital wanted to submit a bid to do our transcription. The manager politely declined but he continued to call EVERY day..I guess to see if she'd wear down. She then faxed them an official stop contacting us letter but it continued. Finally, she had the hospital's attorney send them a final notice in regards to legal action and they called after that. Honestly, at that point, I came home so I dont what ever become of it. I know it blew our minds. It must be a cultural thing.
anyone see the post on job board for regional medical center, 13 cents??

Anyone know anything about the University of
Wisconsin ad on mtjobs? Anyone work for them now or in the past? Just curious-might be interested in applying. Thanks. You can email me privately if you like.
I know this University
Never worked for Diskwriter, but did work for UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, used to be Presbyterian Medical Center) for several years. This is a large teaching institution with high ESLs. They were the first in the country to do heart transplants with Dr. Starzel and his group. That was when heart transplant was experimental.
If you have heavy experience with ESLs, you'll do fine.
I'm not sure who the other university hospitals use but
I never see anything on their sites or on CareerBuilder about hiring in-house MT's so apparently they're all using an outside service of some type. Most hospitals I've worked in-house for use Medquist and another service at the same time (without Medquist's knowledge).
The only Phila. area hospital I've ever seen advertising for in-house MT's is Cooper in Camden, NJ (across the river from Philly).
Hahnemann University uses MQ, sm
Last I knew,
Temple University Health System uses MQ.
Thomas Jefferson Health System uses MQ.
Crozer Keystone Health System uses MQ.
Chester County Hospital uses MQ and a smaller service, don't know the name.
Most phyician practices in Delco use RX transcription out of Newtown Square, or ProType - Maureen I think is her name.
St. Christopher's, last I knew, was with MQ.
Did I forget any?
University of Texas -- Oh yea! n/m

I wonder if it would be possible to find a university that would need an experienced MT to just do
OR reports. Is this possible.
all the more reason to go to an accredited college or university
and earning potential rather than waste time and money on some fly-by-night crappola that has no credibility.
Anyone here work inhouse at Stanford University? - sm
Or know someone who does? If so, any comments, pro or con, about working there? I'm moving to that area soon, and was wondering if they're hiring.
You had better believe it. Working 12 years in a huge university and now offered 8 cpl. nm

MTS of Kansas...sm
Does anyone know anything about this company? Thanks!
That is terrible. You know, those women have no idea how to handle all these big university accounts
that are moving up there. They are very very wrong about some of the things they do and it seems like they really dont know as much as they would like you to think they do. That is absolutely disgusting that they did that. I hope that MT reported them to anyone in New Jersey they could find. I would have taken that as far as I could have if I would have been her to the CEO. That is just horrendous. My goodness, why does MQ continue with them. I believe firmly if you make enough calls you will find someone that is willing to listen and take the info where it needs to go I believe that.
Do they have Wal-Mart's in Kansas?

Is the KS for Keystrokes or Kansas and have you
had a problem with Keystrokes? I am looking for radiology only and was told that was the place to look. Any help appreciated. TIA.
Kansas City
Anyone from Kansas City?
Kansas City
Moved back to KC about 6 months ago, lived here about 15 years ago and now back, what part are you in?
Kansas City
Yeah, the Missouri and Kansas boards haven't been touched for a year maybe! There doesn't seem to be many successful transcription companies in Kansas City.
Medicordia in Kansas??
Does anyone know anything about this company...like if they're reliable in work and pay? Thanks!

The University of Pennsylvania Health System Hospitals is huge in Philadelphia. Do they hire their

Any current info on Webscribe in Kansas City? sm
The few comments I found were from 2006 and were not positive. Anyone have any current opinions? Thanks!
I have worked for Cardioscribes since July. I live in Kansas.
The owner actually lives in Kentucky. I guess if you don't want any Indian connections, you can just decide not to respond to the job post. As far as deception goes, I don't see any. I am very happy with the company.
I'd still contact the solution center
I got the email from my STM this week as well (bet we have the same one!), but I have not been experiencing any problems. It is still very possible that the reason you are having so many difficulties is something to do with your router (if you have one) or ISP. I know how frustrating it is when the platform keeps freezing up on you. I was having so much trouble until I changed the settings on my router and now it is smooth sailing. Definitely contact the Solution Center and see what they can do to help you. There's no reason to suffer through it if there is a fix out there.
A local surgery center
I was referred to them through someone else. They have had trouble keeping a transcriptionist. Now I know why.
I'm a midwest MT too (Kansas) ... but my gourd painting skills are definitely lacking too. :( n
Anybody work on the outpatient surgery center at e-MTS?
Interested in knowing what the account's like, i.e. platform, dictators, productivity, et cet. Tx.
8 center per gross line...as good as 9/65 cpl?

I just read on their website under Employment Center (sm)
that they are hiring. I know they had a job listing posted on here a week or so ago for experienced Docuscribe MT's. I work on Meditech there but would kill to get back on Docuscribe again! I loved it...
Anyone heard of a company called Webscribe. Think they are in the Kansas City, Mo area. (nm)

Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia is hiring - nm

The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.
Solutions Center told me problems wouldn't
be fixed any time soon because it was going to cost a lot of money to do it. I had the worst boss ever and I'm so glad to be free of that place.
I have no info, but the energy center is named after my grandfather nm
