Any info on SmartMed vs Keystrokes?
If anyone has any information on SmartMed I would appreciate it, (having enough work, pay, etc). Trying to decide between SmartMed and Keystrokes for radiology accounts. Thanks!
Need current info about SmartMed....
How is the platform for Radiology...anyone know? Posting on Job Seekers board is for $1.139 per report....is this good or low? Any other information would be wonderful....thanks!
SmartMed info please? I think out of Texas
nm
Any new info on editing for SmartMed out of Humble, TX? sm
Do they offshore? Is pay on time? Good, bad or ugly? TIA.
If you check archives there is info there on SmartMed, don't know about
other company. I tested for SmartMed (they went by a different name though) and was offered an MT position, which I turned down. They called about a month later to offer me a QA position because they had started offshoring work. Not much nice to say about them from recent posts.
Any current info on SmartMed? I saw something about the platform not being sm
user friendly, but otherwise not too much. Their pay scale seems to be good, but she did say it is for a teaching hospital, so that probably means 95% ESLs. Anyway, any insight is appreciated. Thanks!
Can anyone give me current info on SmartMed?
I want to know how flexible they are with their IC positions and how easy the platform is. Do they really work IC or are they just employees without the benefits?
EVER HEARD OF SUMMIT MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION??
I see they are posting for a job. When looking on google, it looks like they are from outside the U.S. Anyone ever heard of them?
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 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
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!
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 it and hit I'm Feeling Lucky button and...

Are you saying that you are immediately
no message
You will get set up immediately with
no problems and they are the best company I have worked for as far as helping solve problems immediately.
The one immediately above us. nm
I would be looking for another job immediately...sm
Good luck on the matter.
Sure, we will all email you immediately. Are you really
ewwwwww!!
If it was me, I would have told them no way immediately. nm
You showed great restraint.
I quit immediately.
You got paid for the straight typing, no templates.
They advertise quite a lot and that's probably the reason why!
Need ananswer immediately, please!!
On Friday of last week, I drove almost 100 miles to an interview that was supposed to be a subcontractor position. I was asked to come in for the day and type some reports to get familiar with the account and to see if I wanted to do it. I drove the 100 miles, typed for the company. Keeping in mind that I was a subcontractor and could work and quit when I wanted, I decided to give it a try. As soon as I got home, she called and wanted me to work on Saturday to get the hospital caught it. So, I transcribed on Saturday. Then, I received a call on Sunday requesting that I type. So, I typed on Sunday. I got phone calls all day yesterday, Monday, pleading that I work and the hospital is seeing that I am logged on, but no work is coming in. The work was not coming in because I received Japanese/Chinese discent dictators and it literally took me an hour a report. I received calls all day long. To work, change things, work more, and I was told now that I was their go-to girl and needed me to work, work, work. I could not log off because I would get calls. So, today, which is Tuesday, their system broke down and when they finally fixed it, guess what, they needed me to work an additional 8 hours. This was after I got up early to work, but due to their system break down, I was hours behind. After listening to 3 messages on my answering machine, I sent an email telling her I have accepted another position. Four hours after I sent her the email, she called me up and asked why I was not working for her and that she is going to lose her account. I asked her if she got my email. SHE SAID SHE GOT MY EMAIL, BUT DID NOT REALIZE I WAS NOT WORKING FOR HER ANYMORE. How ridiculous is this? She said she needed me to log on now because I was her go-to girl and she was going to lose her account. I am exhaused, but she needs me until Friday or she will lose her account. I am a subcontractor. Also, I signed no papers and she could shaft me for my money if I stay. WHAT SHOULD I DO? SHOULD I LOG IN AND WORK UNTIL FRIDAY AND HOPE SHE PAYS ME OR JUST MOVE ON? She sounded desperate, but she has worked me out all ready.
I quit immediately, too.
It won't be a blip on the radar of D's sell-out, unfortunately, but at least I know I did the right thing for myself and my belief system/ethics.
Congratulations to us, and anyone else who is in a position to do the same!
I'd see a red flag immediately if a company sm
waited a year to test me. From everything you said, it sounds like this company is desperately trying to fill a quota of US MTs to land/keep this account. Anyone born in the USA would do. If you were sincere in not wanting to work for companies that offshore, you should say so clearly right at the start and not go through all the traveling, testing, and ironing! I'm sorry this turned out to be such a negative for you. Best to do research beforehand.
I heard back immediately
I got a one sentence email saying I didn't have enough experience. Must be pretty difficult work. I have been typing all work types for 19 years, especially psych and radiology..the two on the list. I have also done ESL in every job I have ever been employed. Oh well, asked her to keep my name in the barrell!
start immediately to think about ESLs........
nm
I too made quota immediately
!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was immediately offered a position with
Webmedx after the interview. I didn't have to test based on my experience and score on the verbal testing.
If you applied through TransHealth they still seem to be operating as two separate companies and dealing with a different group of people. I applied to them before the merge and I never heard from them after submitting my resume.
Stop typing immediately....and see what happens.
They'll be blowing your phone up. Tell them, when they put your check in the bank, you'll start back typing, because you don't type for free. They gave you a date you will get paid and they should honor that. In the meantime, be looking for something else.
You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I would immediately eliminate Focus.
It is Indian run, low pay, and constant turnover. I haven't heard much good about Diskriter either, though certainly better than Focus. KS is good for some, not for others. It wasn't a good fit for me. Axolotol pays better than any of them, better benefits. The account they are hiring for has a high percentage of very challenging ESL dictators. The company itself is great though.
All of you should stop working immediately so that they can see how valuable
you are. Let them work it out then.

This discussion will cease immediately. You are WAY off base. We do not
cater to any company in the manner you describe just because a company may be a sponsor. The reason that we remove content about ANY company is when posters use this site as a sounding board of their complaints posting to the point where the thread flames. At that point, I will remove the thread and tell posters to take discussion to email until things settle down.
If you have problems with a company, you need to take it up with them. Sounding off on this forum about the inner workings of any company is innapropriate. Posters need to use tact when posting.
Many of you know me well enough by now that I would not remove posts just because some MTSO tells me to.
