No, it isn't nice. Most people do acute care, rad, or clinics. Work
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
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.
People do things like this
because people let them. Have you contacted law enforcement? You should.
Some people just love to stir things up.
agree - most people only have good things to say about MDI-MD

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.
So what is the problem with these NE people. No one is happy with the way they run things and I dont
see it getting any better. I think the NE people better start rethinking their plans because they sure aint working up thar in New York.
For people with other things scheduled in a busy life
That does not work.
I think people will try it and just wont be able to do it with other jobs and family things. nm

Agree also. Take care of the people sm
who are already with you before taking care of brand new people.
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.
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.
It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.
You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense. Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.
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!
Who said people who work for KS aren't happy for people who work for (sm)
other companies? I'm happy for people who are happy with their jobs, no matter what company they work for.
Ever thought of a home health care aide? Usually paid training and start work right away. Can work
m
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.
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.
Have things gotten better at Amphion? Is there work now? nm
s
How are things going with Futurenet? Is there still no work> sm
Futurenet work has slowed down majorly. Has anyone else's picked back up yet? I thought we had new accounts coming on? If so, are they are going to hire some people? Does anyone know what we can expect?
Don't worry, things will work out. nm

I can see a lot of problems in this way of doing things. That sounds to me like everyone's work i
up for grabs so that would push those MTs that have their acccounts grabbed up go onto other accounts. If you think this doesnt affect quality I think you are totally crazy. There are a lot of people that simply cannot do a good job on accounts this way and they are very good MTs. Very bad way to do business. I am sure quality is hughly compromised. It is always always best for quality and line counts to keep people with what they know. Even the hospitals can see who is in there and they know there are a lot of unknown MTs in their accounts and if the quality goes down or a lot of work is tied up in QA those hospitals are gone to another company.
I work there and things apparently have changed since you were there.
Not all the people you named are still there nor is the dental plan Delta. It is Guardian. Insurance is excellent.
Now, they hire employees and not ICs. They do that for a reason. They can better schedule and meet TATs that way. I think employee status warrants meeting your hours, but what I do know is that they do allow some flexibility and if you need it, all you need to do is say it as long as it is not 12-hr flexibility. If you have to run out and get the kids, tell them.
This company is a good company. The people are quite nice. Their QA staff is good. They do follow the BOS to a tee.
It's a personal choice, but if someone did not at least check them out, I think they are missing out. They are very good. Best QA staff I have ever worked with.
Because you keep thinking things will get better with hard work, not always.
nm
My how things have changed. I am now drowning in work from
the new clients, I guess, and they are bringing on two more this week. Hip, hip, hooray! Might even get a bonus!!!
Boy, you got that one right, and they don't seem to care if you don't have any work.
x
I never run out of work, so what do I care? (sm)
 Go away.
I work on VR and I care about
quality. I read reports on here all the time stating that only MTs who are slow want to work on VR or, like your statement, all you will have left to edit are MTs who don't care about quality. That is an assumption on your part and will say again, when you assume a lot of the time you are wrong. I do VR because my hospital outsourced us. I loved the work where I was but I had no choice. I wanted to stay on the same work and therefore sought out the company that had the hospital work, found it and am now working on what I love. Gosh, I wish people would stop just assuming things.
Unless things have changed drastically, they are NOT nice to work for.
You will get calls at all hours to work, mostly because no one has enough sense to realize that there is a big time difference between the east coast where they are and the west coast where I am. I routinely got calls from Rose between 4 and 5 a.m. to see why I was not working when my schedule was for 7 a.m. pacific time. The accounts were awful. And the recruiter is just that - do not believe all the praise and glory she heaps out. She may be sweet but don't fall for her line of bs.
If things don't work out,, the Diskriter FL Hosp position (sm)
Pays for downtime when work runs out and benefits are pretty decent.
Glad to hear things are better. Hang in there. I know how hard it can be... this profession just isn't what it used to be.
Good luck to you!!
Maybe we all don't need to work two jobs, or care to.
nm
Care to share where you work?
I've been looking for a hospital work from home for here in NJ and not having much luck. Is the hospital in your own state? TIA
I can do between 175-200 (acute care) when there is enough work.
nm
well, ask for acute care work , or can't you do that?
m
TT only acute care work?
I am looking for clinic work only and from posts am unable to tell if they have only hospital transcription. I am burning out on testing with companies only to find out they have no clinic work. Any information would be appreciated. Many thanks!
Maybe they dont answer because there is no work to get.Best way to avoid things I guess.
:
Just how are they to work for as far as accounts, ESLs, etc. The usual things such as how they treat
the MTs and so on.
They are well aware there is no work and that they have over hired..they don't care....sm
as long as backlog is 0 they are happy. Good luck to you. I guess one more person couldn't make it any worse than it already is, but I hope you don't have a family to feed.
Acute care work pays more
nm
Acute care running out of work N/M
b
is that clinic work or acute care if I may ask?
I prefer acute care and am really not interested in clinic but was told I have to do it
Is acute care work drying up? sm
It seems most of the jobs I see posted are for clinic accounts, even at my own company. I happen to do acute care now, but now I'm wondering how long it's going to last. I don't want to do clinic notes.
You have to wonder if the supervisors that dont care about no work are always
getting new MTs because they quit all the time.
I did some overflow work for Landmark.. they are wonderful to work for.. very nice people.. pay was
.
There is NO work at Transtech. Maybe they just choose special people to send work to
df
Great people to work for, but I had to leave due to lack of work. Hopefully that has changed. SM
Most of us who do not live in California had to go IC. When I was there, they did not have statutory status, although they told me they did when they hired me. Their pay for VR is VERY low, not a living wage. Many of the folks in the office are ex-YOG and great to work for/with. Good luck.
? That's kind of a blanket statement; things are fine on the accts I work on. sm
Yes, it was slow a couple weeks ago but started picking up last week.
PS - Yes, they pay for spaces.
