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.

Perhaps you need to work inhouse somewhere sm
there is communication and lots of it, or quite possibly, none at all. Like when the mangager closes the door to avoid avoid the staff, or doesn't return your voice mails or, better yet, takes a 3 week vacation just when the staff's tempers are burning hot over one issue or another. How about this scenario? You go in to talk with her about an issue you have and the next thing you know, it's all over the office and you are the one at fault? Or, how is this for communication (*&()^&^%&&$-get my drift? My manager was like that with 1/2 of her office staff. Quite a witch-which is why I left. She is still there turning over MTs left and right because of her communication policy. TT is not like that in my books. TT responds to my emails nearly every time. They don't respond to my calls because I never feel the need to call.
Does anyone using these boards work inhouse? - sm
 And if so, where did you search for the job? I've noticed that on the job boards here, it's not only all national companies, but also pretty much the same ones, too. And of course the pay scale is the same old crumbs, as well. Is there any one place that hospitals and clinics go to recruit for experienced MTs, or do you just have to slog through the job-lists on each separate institution's website? There are a few where I'd post my resume tonight if I could, just so they could have it on file, but frequently you can't do that unless they're actively recruiting. Anyway, for me 2008 is hopefully going to mean finding gainful employment again, and any ideas you might have would be greatly appreciated!
guess again, i'm inhouse and my sup would rather send out work to the agency
yep, to meet the TAT she will send it out, even if it means no work for the real hospital employees.
When I worked inhouse, we used Chartscript, now that I work from home for a different company, we
use Docuscribe. In my experience, my line counts were much higher with Chartscript, but I think any program can be told to count lines a certain way, such as weighted lines with Chartscript for difficult dictators, which made your line count higher.
Con: Overflow work is cherry-picked from the git-go by the account's inhouse MTs. nm

No, but my daughter attends Stanford!
The hospital I work has no intention of outsourcing...physicians and administrators want inhouse tra
and Medquist hasn't bothered us at all. Our reps are still the same personable guys they have always been.
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 for for University of Kansas Medical Center? Please let me know. Thanks.
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!
You had better believe it. Working 12 years in a huge university and now offered 8 cpl. nm
:
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.
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.
When I was an inhouse MT, I used to use -
the 'flu', rather than go into detail about whatever personal issue was causing me to need a short-notice day off. After all, everyone knows what the flu is, and how contagious it is, and they don't want you to give it to THEM.
inhouse MT
I would take it. I have been working 25 years at my inhouse job and only getting $14 so that sounds pretty good starting out.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System Hospitals is huge in Philadelphia. Do they hire their
own MTs for those hospitals does anyone know. They must have a large amount of transcription to be done.
Most of those are inhouse positions so just
NM
When I was inhouse the rad docs liked it
And at that hospital those same docs were pushing for VR. Most of 'em liked to goof off for hours wandering the halls telling jokes, then wanted to read like mad when our MT staff was down to a couple night people, and whine that we didn't get it all typed for them to sign off before they went home. So I think its fitting its going to bite them in the butt.
This was years ago, inhouse-
anyone remember those days? I made $$$$ then and surely did not want to lose that job so I was an employee, still got the days off planned as per her but had to take without pay. I would have never quit that job just on something like that, too much money involved.
I did go home from an inhouse MT service
5 years ago where there was no flexibility whatsover, we worked every stinking weekend if we got hired for that shift and after 5 years of weekend and holidays they told me it would always be that way for me. Now with this company 6+ years I am going to be forced to work my holidays again? Just for insurance? Blood money I say. There is no flexibility in this new play either. Why are we home then? I would rather be in house, at least when I walk out I am done with it.
There are quite a few hospitals in NY that are hiring inhouse and
also at home. What part of NY do you plan on moving to?
AIDI in DE also hires inhouse
Plus they have transcriptionists who work at home just like Christiana Hospital. Both are in Delaware
Working inhouse for hospital, sm
There's 2 of us for 25 staff MTs plus monitoring the outsource vendor. We're both paid salary. Works out pretty well for my budget. Living in Florida, salary range for our jobs I believe is $35K to $39K annually.
I worked for a national company previously, we were paid on production, at about 4 cents per line. It was a horrible way to make a paycheck. Would never go back to that.
You are correct - inhouse pays much more
But when comparing MTSO's its often better to accept a little less for a quality company, less badgering, better dictators in return.
It's common policy. If you want pay, go inhouse or
Usually, you get holiday differential if you work a holiday but workers paid piecemeal production don't get hourly compensation for work not produced, unless it is their own earned PTO.
That is true. If the hospital has inhouse
people, then they have first priority on work. If they can do it, then the hospital will not make it available.
I'd love to be back inhouse, paid hourly, and
a bad dictator or a report that's interesting, but slow to do. I'm tired of never having money for food, gas, clothes, fun, or anything else. I'm tired of no holidays off, and having to work a 12-hour day to make the minimum line count. And no, I NEVER get overtime, cuz they don't pay it. I think the hospitals should not only first give work to it's HOME BASED employees, but I think they should hire more, instead of farming it out to god-knows-where all over the world.
When I MT'd inhouse in a hospital medical records dept.,
the hourly pay was around $9/hr. I had plenty of experience too. The lady there who had about 25 years of experience made around $12/hr.... I have no idea why it was so low. That's why I ended up working for a service at home. As low as VR pays, that $9-$12 is starting to sound good though. What a shame this profession is.
We could check our line counts up-to-the-minute with CTRL I inhouse n/m

If anyone works inhouse in the Atlanta area, pls see question on Main Board. Thanks. nm
11 days is more than you would get inhouse...usually 10 days.
We have the convenience of working at home and yet you want MORE than what inhouse positions offer?
As a whole.. nice people to work for, decent benefits but the get off/on the system, work/no work,
is maddening. I couldnt pay my bills or even work the schedule I was assigned. They would ask us not to work until work built up in the evenings and I specifically wanted to work days as I have kids etc. It just didnt work out for me but to each his own. It just seems there has to be a better balance in this business that what is happening.
I did speak with my manager. Work was promised. No work there when I needed to work.
I see the reports everyday too, but when I get work it is of bad quality, then there is no work unless I work diffrent shifts. Thank you.
My liaison always says to work on secondary when primary is low on work/no work. n/m

That's going to be nuts...I do ASR work too, plus work split shifts. We'll NEED a spread shee

Work is easy, very nice owner, pays weekly, work in Word.
A majority of at-home MT is overflow work with in-house getting the bulk of the work. If they clean

Pay is always on time, direct deposit, very nice management to work with, and DQS platform, work
load normally busy, but low now because of the summer slow down on my accounts. Sound an issue on some accounts, but not others. Overall, wonderful company.
That is a BIG problem at TransTech is leads assigning work, rather than letting the work flow
This TT MT just admitted to that fact. It has been very obvious, as so easy to tell how work comes into our que and then gets pulled out as fast as it came in and replaced with YUKKY dictators. VERY frustrating to us other TT MT's who take the JUNK that is NOT assigned to other MT's, such as this poster.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work

Absolutely not! I work for the best MTSO. I am have been so blessed to work for the small company I
I will share this about the MTSO I work for. I called her late last Wednesday night after Church and told her I was compelled to help out with Hurricaine Katrina in some way and an opportunity arose for a small group from my Church to go to Louisianna this coming week. Would she be able to cover my work. She told me no problem without any hesitation and even donated money for the trip.
And I am sure there are plenty of good companies out there to work for. To compare us to migrant workers is just not right.
It does work, you do not need to "make" it work.. it works in all word based programs.

I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..

I was told Escription would not work with Vista. Turned out it wouldn't work with my sm
Office Basic Edition 2003 either, but no one could figure out why, it was supposed to.
There is actually a section on the Dell website that offers Windows XP. I haven't checked it out as I'm not in the market, so I don't know if it costs extra. I have a Dell and it's been fine for me. I hate the ESL tech department, but it seems like most of them have that now.
Yes they do send work overseas and do not hide this fact. There is plenty of work and they do pay
well. Overall, I like having work as I have been at places where you had to fight to keep busy so this works for me.
