Great idea...
EXCELLENT CONCEPT! You would think most of these companies could figure that out on their own.
Great idea, but not new.
Years ago. . .the clerk or supervisor of med rec would edit the incoming dictation numbers (correct the demographics) if needed. Anything coming to us in house, or going out to a service was correct. Why is that not being done any more?
That is a great idea!

Great idea! now what have you got for those--sm
automated calls where no one is there when you answer?? I get those a million times a day and I want to stop them, short of getting a new number. I like the way you think, so can you help out on this one??? :^) TIA
Great idea - for those who don't think they should (sm)
have to do the crap because it takes them too long, they are not familiar with the work type or dictator, or whatever reason here is a good solution.
1. Reduce their pay by 1/2.
2. Give the other half of their pay to those of us willing to go through and do whatever work is there. We will clean it up, but instead of being penalized by doing mainly crap we will be rewarded.
Sound like a plan?
Great Idea!
That is a great idea! I know (for a fact) that the owner of On-Point illegally solicited MTs from other companies. She also hired interns so she wouldn't have to pay them but she still got paid for the work they did as she contracted through Focus. She bounced checks and didn't meet payroll. She will not return calls or emails and is spending the money she should be paying the MTs. I feel bad for these girls that were depending on the checks to put food on the table! After all, this is our profession and we rely on our employers to pay us.
Great idea
Anything to get them out of business.
Great idea!
That would be wonderful. I'm starting with TT very soon myself. There sure are a lot of us! I think we made a wise choice. 
Great idea! nm

That is a great idea...
having her copy the manager on all emails to MTs and vice versa. I hope they also record her phone calls to MTs so they can monitor how she speaks to the MTs.
Great idea
What an awesome idea. Hope we can achieve this.
Great idea!
I am going to do that! Yea outsourcing sounds appealing being cheaper for the hospital, but what happens when a patient gets a lawsuit against the hospital for incorrect documentation because the quality of the reports is awful!
Great Idea !
Write to your newspapers, call your local TV and radio stations, tell your relatives and friends. Most people do not know that their medical records and other sensitive info is being sent to the middle east, and most are appalled when finally they are told.
Great idea!
Fortunately I have not had to deal with an issue such as this but as someone who is currently looking for another job, I think that this is an fantastic idea!
Thanks so much and good luck!
Great idea, but no go
I just googled and the nearest place I can find is about 80 miles away, which means it will take me about 3 hours travel time alone and gas, so I guess I'll scrap that. Complicating things is the fact that I live in a very very very rural area so some of the options that are available in metropolitan areas are not to be found here.
I appreciate all the helpful input I've received from all of you. It's been a long time since I've tried to live like a starving student, but I'm guessing it's like riding a bike, so I'll get by.
Thanks again!
Great idea! I, myself have ...SM
considered doing that, since I was a nursing major (years and years back, got sick last semester before graduation) but now trying to get at least my LPN license with the education I do have. In the meantime, I was thinking strongly about doing home health or getting CNA in the interim. I live in a large city so if there are jobs available, that shouldn't be a problem. My aunt is almost 70 years old and came to the US several years ago, no home health experience, was hired by a smaller agency. Even thought pay isn't that great, and she does get an occasionally difficult patient - she says most patients and her agency supes ARE nice and APRECIATIVE. I think I could manage an occasionally difficult patient far better than dealing with the home MT biz lately -- and I would do that ANY TIME rather than got to VR at half pay, which is likely in store for us all.
You're right about the appreciation part - I worked for years and years as a temp MT for hospitals via temp agencies - I got respect, appreciation, not to speak of much better compensated than by the home MTSOs, where we seem to get NONE of those. 
Great idea
Direct sales might be a wonderful option. Thanks!
Great Idea!
If I weren't so technologically challenged I would do it myself. If someone is good at the Facebook thing, this would be a GREAT way to get the message out!
I think it is a great idea to prepare us for some of the truly sm
crazy people out there. The same group of MTs that seems to go from company to company and then uses the MT boards (here and others) to yell and scream. Every company should be able to give psych tests. You are dealing with medical records.
Ex-MQ MT board is a great idea!! nm

Great idea. I'll work on this in
Thanks.
Thanks..great idea and thank you to everyone else who gave me information.
I think it was a great idea and cudos to the adminstrator--sm
for doing this. It has actually been about two weeks now and it has been the quietest two weeks ever! I, for one, love the change! Thanks Admin!!!
Great Idea. I'd enjoy participating.
.
Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

Great company, great boss, great account!!!nm

OK, where's the moderator on this one?
Not OK - I think you should be banned. This language is COMPLETELY uncalled for. Cut it.
The moderator said....
post nicely and all I read here in this thread are personal attacks....sure sounds and looks like stalking to me.
Not that anyone asked my opinion and I'm just adding my 2 cents after just finding this website 2 days ago. All bulletin boards are the same - they get real nasty, unfortunately.
Personally, I don't see how personal attacks on how someone left a former company is productive or conducive to learning on these bulletin boards. Posting people's personal info on whether they were fired or not should also not be allowed.

Moderator..
Please delete duplicate post. Don't know how that happened. Thanks.
MODERATOR HELP PLEASE
Has it been confirmed by the company on this board that they are offshoring work?
I am still not sure if I should go with them or not.
To Moderator
Is there any way to do a search on this board and come up with the more recent posts? Whenever I do a search, I come up with posts as of 7-8 months ago and then older, and I know there are posts from just a week ago. Am I doing something wrong, or is there no way to include the most recent posts (up to within the last few days) in a search. TIA.
FOR MODERATOR
I'm sorry - I meant to post this under MQs forum - can you move please? sorry about that.
The moderator (nm)
Half the board is taken up with employees and insiders' posts... but then again I don't really care :)
Um, that's moderator... nm

MODERATOR
I feel this is an appropriate section for this because it is aimed towards companies that outsource but also includes political views to try and influence the reader to look for companies that do not outsource. I believe it could also be posted on a separate page to cover the political view, but this is aimed to grab the reader's attention with the aim towards American companies that do not offshore.
Well moderator, I think she knows to look there, duh!
She is looking for some recommendations of good companies. Geesh!
TO THE MODERATOR
Whoever this person is posting as SoftScript management and posting such derrogatory remarks about people should be banned from posting here. If that person does truly work for Softscript, she is definitely hurting them, and if she doesn't, well....she is definitely hurting them. I do not, nor have I ever worked for SS, but I find her comments to other people totally out of line and extremely offensive. Please consider this.
Now where's the moderator
They've got another posting up there now looking for someone in their Bangalore office, which is a bit of a commute for a US based transcriptionist.
Thank you moderator
Thank you for the explanation.
The Moderator said...
that MTStars can provide the information through a court order. Whether that is the case, I have no idea nor do you, I imagine. Either way, the bottom line is that they apparently know who posted what and there is a lawsuit.
Given the name Moderator...
Wow! I must have hit a nerve with you. You are really bent out of shape about being told off, aren't you? You even went to the extent to E-mail someone and beg to have your post closed so you could have the last word. What a goof you are. Ha ha ha!
Seems it's the moderator's perogative.
After all, it's their board, not anyone else's. As long as it's done fairly and consistently for all issues for all companies, I don't have a problem with it myself. Even if it isn't, I have the choice to view and participate, or not. We all have that right.
This moderator doesn't have to play by anyone's rules but their own, and the popularity of this board speaks to the success of how they've handled things so far. I've had a post or two pulled in the past and, in retrospect, I'm glad it was done. I'm not perfect, and at times I get angry at some of the ignorant, hate-filled posts. My posts have probably been pulled as a part of the whole hate-mongering post's thread and that's really just fine. If some information that was "valuable" is lost to the public at the same time, well, so be it.
Also, sometimes "negative" posts not only are negative, they are downright ugly and nasty.
I have to agree with a poster a while back that, if you don't like what you see (or don't see) on a given board, there are plenty of places to create one of your own.
Mr./Ms. Moderator pleeeeeeze!!!
Have you gone on vacation or just thrown up your hands and given up on trying to keep this crap off here????!!!! Looks like things have gotten waaaaay out of control. Guess it's obvious you can't get through to the people determined to act like idiots on here, so why try?
Huh? Moderator, what's your opinion? (sm)
I don't see what's wrong with what I posted. I didn't give out personnel names or account names. I don't see the big deal.
If it's improper, fine, delete it.
Moderator: Can you require sm
ads to give a company name as well as IC, statutory or employee status?? Would make things much clearer and simpler. Thanks, MomMT
Moderator - How can I e-mail you? nm
n
I agree moderator
The subject is off-shoring - a persons, race, beliefs, age, quality, experience, etc is not the issue. Stick to the point, I do not want offshore not just because I lose income, but because I do not want my information sent half-way around the world to India, China, Vienna, Mexico etc - The US needs to keep our earning potential, information, and growth within our borders - we do enough overseas and across borders for our foreign neighbors - technology, money, troops - I do not need them in my GYN visit too. So whether you are red, white, or blue, brown, yellow or orange - if you are a US citizen - I stand behind you, and want the work kept here. Lets effect a change, not animosity. One pays off, the other does not.
