Feeling lucky
From one MQ employee to another...may I ask what company you went to?
Lucky You ... I was not so lucky to work with that platform
Meditech - it was awful. I kept getting promised that my account was going to ChartMatrix, but it never happened and the Meditech system was SO slow. I loved TH, the people, etc. - so if you can get an account that is on ChartMatrix - hop on it. But, avoid the accounts that are on Meditech because I don't think they are EVER going to convert (and I waited quite awhile - couldn't take it any more).
I googled their name
find much at all. Anybody else do this?
Googled TTD
Googled TTD (The Transcription Doctors) A link came up showing a partnership with Mrecord. Googled Mrecord. Link came up showing Philippines. Does this mean TTD offshores also?
I see the search button now

Thank you, but where is "Copy" button? (sm)
Then, where is Save button?
Thank you - I obviously need help! ha! Thanks!
I googled and the name is MD to MD, although website
is md2md. They are in California, but I've never heard of them.
I googled it and it came up.....put transcription
xx
Ya know - I just went and googled Dictaphone
Nuance, and all these stories come up and I made the mistake of reading some of them. Boy do they paint a rosy picture of the things speech can do, with special emphasis on cutting costs for medical facilities. It made me sick to read how fantastic they make this speech recognition out to be.
Now before the pro-speech lynch mob starts hunting me down, I know that speech works out for some, but in my experience it did not make me any faster; I type very fast to begin with. I just think that it's totally unfair that nothing is being published regarding the plight of the MT, working harder for half the amount of money. I just think that we MT's should stick together and let the general public and the hospital CEOs, etc. (not that they would care) know that we are being totally screwed and that it's not all roses, rainbows and puppy dog kisses for us who are trying to make a living at this job. Someone needs to publish an article from an MT point of view for everyone to read stating exactly what we as MT's have been going through ever since this came along.
I would be totally on board with speech rec. provided we be paid a fair wage comparable to what we are used to making.
And now....I'll get off my soapbox and go back to work before it disappears out of my queue.
I googled name & phrase but may be too old sm
probably old info but may be able to catch up with her LINK click
You can drag and drop, but under the more button you
have to check the box that says remember player position. HTH.
Tape cardboard over that on/off button :) sm
I had to do this when my grandkids were over ... too fun to push that little button on the front of the computer!
Go to the contact us e mail button and
Good luck!
I googled keystrokes transcription and the
first one is the one you are looking for.
http://www.keystrokestranscription.com/
Same way you did...just googled some transcription companies.
Thanks for your input!
Hit the refresh button in your Internet browser and you should see it.
The direct link is below as well...
It is on the JobSeekers board in a little round button
There are 3 and the one on teh far right is the Job Bank.

thought--grrr--we need an edit button :-! nm

There is no report button on Job Seeker Board.

I have Googled and called many, so far all have said they don't hire remotely; that's why
I am asking to see if anyone knows of any that do. I have already spent several hours looking.
I googled and found this interesting web site.
changing the standard of getting paid from line count to minutes of dictation.

Use the Google box on this page & the mtstars.com button to search.

With Webmedx you can hit history button and it shows who has been in that report. (sm)
Of course, there is always the possibility they pulled it up and power went out or the report was a really long one and they had to go pickup kids or something. Though in that case I think they are supposed to put it on hold until they get back.
When I was training I was told if you pull the job up you are expected to type it. I personally do this, but evidently some of those truly horrible audio ones are just too much for some primadonnas.
Does Transform have a website? I googled, but couldn't find it. Thanks.
.
I just Googled SmartMed and immediately got info on Summit..(sm)
Good luck!
I googled labor board. Copy/paste in address bar
May have to key in either your state or company state not sure which or maybe both.

Instead of feeling bad about it and going SM
to bed, take a bit of time to figure out what KIND of experience you have. Yes, near 20 years is nice, but with what kind of work?
Has the majority of that time been in a teaching facility of more than 500 beds with a high # of ESL dictators? Trauma? Complex surgeries? Procedures that aren't performed everywhere? Experimental procedures?
That and the willingness to continue doing that kind of work is what allows these MTs to make the high line rates. The work is more complex, difficulty level is high and a higher line rate should be paid to compensate for that.
That is my feeling also (sm)
I must add one more, the illegal aliens that equal 84% of the emergency room patients, causing the hospitals to have to save money and cut us out entirely. They use VR around here, if the doctors cannot speak properly they will have to learn or edit their own reports.
Our president is pushing for it also, but I don't see the cost of healthcare going down. And when the microchip technology is in place, I just don't see the use for a transcriptionist. Patients will be in and out, they'll read the microchip on your arm, all your info will be on a computer and they'll input anything new. What little transcription is left can be dictated into the system. To each his own, I'd rather be prepared.
I'm getting the same feeling...
I feel the same way. I am also finding many companies don't respond to application/testing/resume. Seems like 2 minutes to send me an e-mail saying I don't qualify is 2 minutes they don't have, after I spent the time to test. Maybe it has to do with how many scribes appear to be out there looking for jobs. Bottom line is they (the MTSO) have all the power. All I know is it's frustrating!
This is also my feeling about TT.
I believe they are one of the honest ones and I won't believe otherwise unless something is proven because so far everything adds up for me.
Not that I'm a math whiz, but when I've worked for cheating companies, there were problems in multiple areas and it was obvious there was a problem.
Thank you. I had a feeling. I wish you all the best.
.
I know the feeling.
I was sick a few weeks back and lucked out that work was low but really would like a few good checks to close out the year with. Maybe it's low all around. I saw some TT'ers posting about it being low. I honestly don't know. To me, it doesn't seem as there are as many reports coming through as there were prior to me getting sick, but I'm also not open to all worktypes on my account, so who knows.
I know the feeling as well............

I have a feeling
Since the MT admits to basically having no real experience in acute care, there is no telling what those five reports may have looked like. Like someone said, transitioning from radiology to acute care is a VERY BIG STEP and I would think nearly impossible to train unless you are working inhouse. There's just too much to learn with acute care, I have been doing this for over 25 years and I STILL learn something new every single day. Even if there were only formatting errors, that could still be a pretty big job - if you have no idea how to do your medication instructions, etc. Just that is a lot to learn right there. It sounds like the account manager may have felt there was just going to be too much training involved. After all, I don't believe any companies offer to train from scratch do they?
I have a feeling we
are all referring to the same company, actually.
As of today my check is eight days late.
My feeling exactly
That is my feeling exactly...I don't want to take that chance. I've been there,done that.
I have already gotten that feeling sm
just talking to them and getting things set up and I haven't begun working yet. I am certainly looking forward to this and ignoring then naysayers! Thank you for your kind words.
Sure... Why do I get the feeling
you aren't paid by the line, but rather are salaried mid-management. I've never seen an actual MT be happy about and defend paycuts before....
feeling sick too!
I just wonder how many people here are just here to stir the pot and make everyone feel sick and scared and paranoid about their jobs?
feeling sick too!
Actually, I don't work for OSi, but work for another National that is always bashed on here. Things are changing here too and not very positive things are being said about changes and I was just making a general statement about people who like to make others feel paranoid about situations. But, I'm trying to look at it this way, there are thousands of MTs employed by my company and there are only a few here who are doing the bashing, so I'm trying to stay positive, but still a little afraid!!
I have been there 4 years, and I am getting the same feeling. I even SM
asked someone about one, well someone who is not one of the real upper people. She did say they were not trying to get me to quit, but I do know that I am one of the higher paid people also. However, I work every weekend at least some, and I know they appreciate that. It continues to be a scary thought to know that there are not all that many accounts. I have just secured a PT job with another company as backup, or income security as I like to think of it. And I have had the opposite experience with calling for work after 3 p.m. -- I have great luck with this. It's not particularly my favorite time to work, but if I don't have any plans, I will work during that time to get lines, and they are very accommodating to me in the office. Of course, maybe they're used to me calling LOL.
Feeling is mutual about TH!

I had a bad feeling about them and cancelled my
There was too much double talk with the owner promising the moon and the transcription supervisor pulling back on the reins to try to hold on to her power over how things operate. If you had a bad feeling from the beginning, it would have been wiser to follow your instinct and not go with them.
Just as they had a change of heart with you, I had my change of heart with them. I don't know if you researched all the posts about them, but this doesn't surprise me and any company who doesn't feel an MT is going to work out has the option of dropping the MT, just as the MT has the option of dropping the company. I don't know of any MTSO where is employment is someone other than at will unless it might be a signed contract as an IC.
I'm trying to show a practical side, not a critical one.
Nothing here! Feeling really unappreciated lately. nm
nm
yeah...I get the same feeling...sm
sounds like they had an ad all printed up and just placed it again without changing some of the criteria in it, like working at the company but sending and receiving via C-phone and internet. not to mention all of the no experience one needs....bet they get alot of applications on that one. ha ha.
Thank U. I was feeling quite paranoid! nm
Feeling a little defensive are we?
You wrote: Perhaps we are all generalizing too much.
And then you went on to generalize! Who said all companies are bad?
What I see here (presently) are legitimate complaints and MTSOs whining about them instead of posting 'any'thing remotely like: Thanks for the input; comments under consideration.
Well maybe we'll all win the lottery and be done with all of this! LOL :)
I got the feeling she was trying to be positive for those of us
who are a bid scared because we have little work on training... I think also she was responding to 4vrtpng...who did answer her but these other posts got in between. Just my 2c or take on it.
Oh no is how I'm feeling, too....just hired on :(
Hope it's not across the board! I start training soon.
I know the feeling here and that is what concerns me. nm
