Hi out there!  Would anyone happen to have any info on working for this company based in Vancouver, Washington?

TIA!

I was thinking about applying and wanted to see if anyone could give me information, good/bad?

Has any ever worked for WordZXpressed or Rider & Associates?

Can you tell me what platform they use and how they are to work for in general?

Thanks so much!

A couple of weeks ago I posted that the hospital I worked for is outsourcing and dumping their inhouse transcription dept.  I appreciate all the nice things people here said because so many of you have been there, done that.  

I also guess that a lot of you have thought about starting up your own business.  The other people I worked with at the hospital and I were always talking about it in a joking way because, to be honest, the people who ran the business at the hospital know nothing about transcription and they think we are just typing drones.

I stopped back in the office where I used to work and I am pleased to report that it was total chaos.  The administration is trying to dump all the dictation onto an outside company based in India.  They kept on a couple of Transcriptionist to clean up stuff.  The person now in charge of the whole transcription process used to work in the billing office and she is now going to be proofing and overseeing the outside transcription service.  They are pleased with themselves and very smug about all the money they will be saving the doctors.

The doctors are all spoilt.  Most of their dictation for years has been An 88 year old female.  Severe DJD.  Bilateral knees. Referred by the bozo down the street. Yada yada yada.   An we knew what they meant  and would zip out a three page professional sounding report and referral letter.  We corrected their mistakes, made sure they were talking about the right patient (often they weren't) and that they didn't commit any legal boo-boo like saying the patient was a drug addict. (One doctor I used to work for said this.  I told the supervisor that he should not say things like that or he would get sued.  She said the doctor knew what he was doing.  Since she was not a transcriptionist she believed that.  The doctor and the practice got sued and doctor went to work in a little clinic far, far away.)

I have to admit that I am enjoying the vision of the coming trainwreck.  This is the second hospital I have worked for that jumped on the outsourcing train.  The first one fired the service in six months and tried to rehire us transcriptionists, who by then had gone on to greener pastures.  And this current hospital has handled the decision to outsource in such an unethical and nasty manner that I would not work for them again under any circumstances.

So, in short, has anybody thought seriously about starting up their own company?  Of course other transcriptionists have done that and of course it is not as easy as it seems. What is the first step?  I have the skills and I know many transcriptionists and a lot of doctors who are going to be really ticked off when the billing person they put in charge of their dictation goes belly up.  And I have some really neat names in mind: 

Typed In the USA. 

Been There Done That. 

Fingers For Hire. 

Utalk We Type.

Transcribers Anonymous.

WordsRUs.(how do you make a backwards R?)

Anybody want to join me?

Hi,

I work on 2 accounts and 1 starts with E and the other with H and they are both on the Escription platform.

of the fact that we're only allowed to work no more than 40 hours a week?  I always used to work more than that, ever since I started full time with TT.  Of course I never expected to be payed time and a half if it was my choice to work more than 40.  Then all of the sudden strict 40 hours and no more.  What do you all think is going on? 

to work hard and go above and beyond the call of duty just because it's the right thing to do in this case to get things back in order.  That was an honest, heartfelt this morning....why don't we forget about what used to be for right now and just help out.  I thnk we'll all be glad in the long run if we do. 

COMPLETELY out of work since 2:00P.M. on a weekday!!!!  How are we supposed to pay our bills???  This is insane!!!

I don't know if your ShortHand could back up and put an 's' on the end of the word preceding, but you can do that with TASpeed (used to be able to do that with Smartype, and that's what I missed the most about it until someone found that you could do that with TASpeed.)  In TASpeed under Acronym, I use ss, then under Replacement type {bksp}s exactly that way, and then when you need to add an 's' to the preceding word, just type ss then space bar, and an 's' will automatically be added.  Can also do that with 'ly' endings, 'ing' endings, etc.  Hope this helps!
