Is the work flow pretty steady on the evening shift
n
U.S. only, very steady work, some VR, good pay, good insurance, no PT, schedule. sm
That should cover it!
Good pay, steady work?
I was considering applying but don't want to jeopardize my current job.
The work flow is pretty good. It gets low around the end of the pay period. sm
I work on the DSG-2 side and the sound is pretty good. Rumor has it we will be getting a new account soon but I don't know that for sure.
enjoy it there. good accounts. steady work.

I am wondering if employees with Futurenet have a hard time having adequate work flow..sm
Just started there not too long ago, but now finding out I am running out of work frequently. I have several accounts that I can work on, but all are empty most of the time. Have they overhired or is this the normal?
QT gets my vote! I love it! Gross line pay, on time, 1 account, steady work! Great place!!!! nm

Does anyone recommend a pretty good company that is good to work for, pay always on time and plenty
of work. I know that is asking a lot, but just curious?
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.
They have to be flexibility because of the erratic work flow. No sense in a schedule if no work..
nm
I am not sure that the work flow is low. sm
I think they have overhired again. At any rate, three and my friends and I are moving on. I haved stayed too long as it is. With no bennies and no DD and no employee status (oh, I know, SOME people get all that, but some people don't), and no work, there is no reason to stay!
Work flow
How's the work now? They have been running out for weeks.
work flow
So far I have not seen a reduction in work flow. It's been pretty nice. It does get low now and then, but nothing out of the ordinary.
How is the flow of work?
 Is it pretty steady or is there a lot of down time, specifically the escription accounts.
work flow
I have just been with TT a month or two. When I hired on, they told me the hours they had more work, so I work those hours. At one point, the doctors were slamming them with dictation after 3:00 PM. Of course, I started earlier than that, but still had plenty of work. When the docs are dictating is when we have work. That's true at the local hospital where I work as well as anyplace else. Like it or not, a Transcriptionist has to work when the doctors dictate. If you want to work day shift and 5 days, clinic work is good, but the reports are short.
MDI work flow
Let me weight. I have been with MDI about a year. Many positives. They leave you alone to do the work but the feedback is here if you need or want it. I never had a problem with workflow until this summer. Now work is constantly out or low particualry in the daytime. For a single parent this is a hardship because I need to get my hours in while kids are in school or daycamp in summertime. It's extremely difficult for me to be working in the evenings when children are at home. My paycheck as taken a hit or I am going on to work in the evenings and struggling and not supervising my kids because I have to work. The thing irks me is I have Op experience, I made this known when I was hired that not only do I have this experience But I also prefer Ops. I can see clearly every day they are begging for people to jump on do the Op notes. I have asked mutiple times (at least 4) to give me this worktype as I am not set up for it and that I would be happy to help with the backlog, pariculary because my clinic and other acute care work was dry. No response over and over. It's as if they are picking favorites to do this particular type of work and not allowing other peolple with the experience a shot at work that seems plentiful. It's very frustrating. I am never given an explanation as to why I cannot do this work type even though I have the experience. On only occasiona management said they would discuss it. So I do believe there is some favortism as to which employees get what type of work. I do not like this particulary when I am struggling to make a line count on the work types they will allow me to work on.
To be fair for the most part aside from the work type issue and slow work this summer my experience with MDI has been positive. I never ran out of work until this summer. They do not nitpick your work and harass you with contast emails and phone calls as some companies do. The people are generally nice and flexible.
However, I have started looking for other employment and I also need benefits, which MDI does not provide.
How is your work flow going? sm
I was just wondering how everyone was doing with respect to the amount of work you are getting. Is it slow? Are you inundated with a lot of reports?
I have never seen it this slow where I work. I am worried, unhappy, scared, etc. I called my MTSO and asked and was rudely told that it's because of the holiday and that I should know better. I did not start working there yesterday. I have been with this company as an IC since 2006, and even during the previous major holidays such as Xmas and Thanksgiving, it was never this bad. I was lucky to have gotten in 1000 lines this entire week! What's more is that The Holiday which was Memorial Day just passed; and Memorial Day is NOT a major holiday!
I am posting to just get a feel of what others might be experiencing.
No...I'm not one that lets work flow through.
I do take the time to correct my reports and research terms, physicans' names and addresses, correct facility names, etc. That is exactly WHY I take offense at your post. It is getting harder and harder to maintain quality while still being able to do this job at 99% accuracy along with all the additional nonpaid responsibilities some of these MTSOs require without having additional stress added to it with punitive compensation policies.
I'm most definitely NOT advocating that MTs should hurry through their work, I'm taking the side of the MTs that have enough stress as it is without having more garbage piled on top of our backs. I'm appalled at the fact that you have such a high and mighty attitude against your fellow workers at the same time bragging about your situation, yet admitting that you're scared you may end up in the same situation. Hey...at least your honest about not having qualms sticking the knife in your colleagues' backs. Like you say...it would be stoopid for you to give up the name of where you work to help others out because then you would end up in the same boat. Things are a lot different than they were in the 70s and 80s, but your attitude shows that you could care less about what your colleagues are going through NOW because you're done with it and set to retire.
Is the work steady?
Do you work for them?
If you want steady work...
Do not go to Amphion...Constant low work and they switch from account to account to account until there is no work on any account. Not Amphion!!
Encompass- How are the accounts and work flow? Do you have a lot of work?
I need to keep busy. I cant sit here every day hoping for work so I'm looking elsewhere.
I don't think now is a good time to look for work anywhere
over the holidays. On the other hand, people tend to get really ill over the holidays, and unfortunately, mortality rate goes up. It's just the docs are busy, and of course have their minds on their families too and the time they are taking off from work.
In 27 years of transcribing this has always proven true. It may get slow now, after the docs get the notices from medical records they are soon out of compliance, there will be a flurry of reports just about to be over a month old. So please hang in there. And if you need extra money there is always the ability to help in retail. Especially the chains which will be having big sales. They need extra help. Good luck to you!
What's the work flow situation at TransHealth these
nm
How is the work flow at Precyse these days? Is it
nm
Work flow depends on the shift
Less work available during the day because that is when most people want to work.
Diskriter ? about work flow and VR pay rate
Tired of hopping around and trying to find a place with enough work to keep everyone busy and not overhire for future use  So just wanting to check out work flow, and was also wondering basic range for VR.
NO FAIR-WORK SHOULD FLOW NATURALLY - sm
As bad as things were at the Q, we got 1 job at a time, detmined via automation, to whatever MT was free was the next to get that job - no one to pick the best work for herself and give MTs the garbage. All this BS about TAT - best work gets taken first, MTs get squat. And how many people do we have to answer to, anyhow? You have top supe, account supe, supe of transcription, and leads like Carter's has pills. No wonder we get all ESLs and garbage - done by those who have the power to dictate who does what work. In the next life, just make me a Lead -- they can even keep the hourly/weekly salary -- just let me have first grab at the available dictation!
I can only speak for myself, but my work flow is fine.

Does MDI-Fl have steady work? Are there benefits
nm
I'd like to know too as we can seem to keep steady work, yet we are always trying to hire more.
If someone knows why they keep hiring more people, let us know. All I can think of is that the MTs they have keep quitting due to the lack of work, it's a vicious cycle. Somedays, they holler for help, you get in there and work hard, and then the next thing you know, we're out of work. I say STOP HIRING and let the MTs you have who want and need the work to do just that. I'm so sick of the feast or famine concept there. I'm job hunting. This stinks. They obviously advertise because they cant keep good help. That's my guess!!!
i have steady work, on wav accts
with occasional lull's. i could work on secondaries, but usually do something around the house that begs my attention. All i can suggest is being able to be somewhat flexible with your hours, and/or talking to liaison about backup accts. as a last resort, a second company part-time i suppose. but in my opinion, MDI-MD is worth sticking with.
None for me either, no steady work for weeks..nm

Been at my job since March and work is steady
I work for a small U.S. company who does not offshore (and shall remain nameless, by me anyway). You have a primary account and a backup account. They do not over-hire so the work is mostly steady. I am told that it only runs low around the holidays. I'm pretty happy with that. At least you know the lull is coming and can prepare for it financially. My days at sitting at the computer waiting for work are over, for now anyway.
Steady work? Fairness in doling out the work?
Am so tired of crap work because I can do it, am getting burned out because of just that, crap work all the time. One of the reasons I am looking at other companies.
I work for a small national. I have steady work, usually
extra if I want it. I make 10 cpl as an employee, get vacation, 401K matching, PTO, wonderful QA, lots of ESL dictators but mostly decent ones, direct deposit, no IM, no nasty e-mails, no phone calls asking me to work extra day after day. Saying that MTs are surprised at how much money they make because they have steady work even though the line rate is low sounds like a line a used car salesman would use. A low line rate is a low line and an insult, especially since without the MTs you wouldn't be able to pay your bills.
Just because everyone else sees to be going to India is like the saying you parents would say if everyone else jumped off the bridge .... Many companies sell out, but you don't HAVE to sell out. You choose to get more bang from your buck but I've seen the work that comes back from overseas and I would never put my name to it.
You might can fool some of the people some of the time, but it won't fly with me.
I work there and love it. Good pay and always on time.
I don't take the health insurance, so can't speak about that. The people are very friendly and helpful.
Good company, pay on time, seems like a lot of work. nm
nm
The starting is $1.08 but the work is steady and plentiful. I think the top is $1.25 but I am not s
that is just the highest that I know of someone making.
oops.. I meant that we CANT seem to have steady work EVER. nm
Did youhave steady work with Medware? Do they
nm
Many old YOGgers at FutureNet, but the work isn't steady. sm
When I was at MQ, they lost many YOG accounts, but I haven't been there in a couple of years, so I can't really speak to that.
Agree with you. If poster has steady work, that's

Good, decent company. Pay on time. Low on work. nm

GOOD COMPANY FOR PART-TIME WORK?
Anyone know of a good company willing to hire for part-time work? I'm not familiar with the majority of the companies looking to hire on here. Thanks !
Anyone know of a place that hires for over-flow work (besides people in India!!)
Just a few hours a week?
If your impressed by bad communication and erractic work flow then it's the place for you..
I know a lot of people who have been there longer than a few weeks that have a lot better insight on MDI-FL and it's not a great review. Yes, the people are nice but is about it.. Nice unfortunately does not pay the bills or stop you from being frustrated because no one answers your emails, well I should say, in a timely manner, and if it is a money-related question like raises etc.. FORGET IT.. you will NOT be getting an email back on that one but you do get one telling you that you need to train on another system, which requires a C-phone, and one in which you had no desire to be placed on, or you lose your benefits. When people sign up to do accounts that are internet-based, it is for a reason. C-phones are a pain in the you-know-what..and then you find out that the account you were hired for is dried up most days, then you are told that you need to do another account that requires the C-phone or you will lose benefits. Thanks but no thanks..getting old.. but truly best of luck to you in whatever you decide.
Overhire, inconsistent work flow..Been there doing that. Cant afford to stay.
Need I say more..
Thank you. The recruiter was very informative. I specifically asked about work flow
as the company I am at now runs out almost daily, in part, I believe, as a result of being a mix of straight typing and VRE. I prefer straight typing over VRE anyway. TT is offering more per line and offers incentive and shift differential, which is something I don't get currently. Im excited to start working with them.
Northeast Transcription, any info? Platform? Work flow? Anything?
