so, are heads going to roll because of that? Someone typed in I had hypotension when it is really hypertension, someone said I had MRA done because of abdominal pain, never was abdominal pain. My mother was sent some wrong medication from the drug store and you think anything has come out of this?

AC Medical Records
Seeking feedback on this company with an Oregon address, positive, negative, or neutral. Any info welcomed. Thanks.
Which is EXACTLY why U.S. medical records should
Their poverty and desperateness to survive is exactly why something like ID theft has certainly got to be too big of a temptation to ignore.

Medical Records Corp
Hi there. Not sure if I am correct but I used to be with Medical Records Corp out of Florida and then it was just MRC and of course, Medquist bought them out. Is there a different Medical Records Corp you are talking about? Sorry if this info is wrong.
Medical Records Corp
I am talking w/them now. Just did testing today. Seems like a nice lady that I talked with. You do know that they don't pay for spaces don't you?
Medical Records Corp.
Worked for them for a very short time. Very unorganized. Ran out of work the first week almost everyday within the first few hours of my shift. It did not work out for me. Had trouble getting my paycheck as well. Maybe things are better now.
MEDICAL RECORDS STOLEN
I watch the news out of Atlanta. The story they are handing out about the stolen medical records is that the company Grady outsources to outsourced it yet to another vendor and that is where the records were taken from. Sounds like, to me, it was offshored through their original vendor!! I would love to know the REAL story!!!!
Most people don't even know their medical records are
good sense to occasionally pay the fee, and have ALL your medical records sent to you for review. And not just the bits and pieces they CHOOSE to post online, if your medical provider has a patient website. Those are highly edited. You want to know EVERYthing that was dictated and typed. ESPECIALLY if you're having medical problems, insurance problems, your doctor isn't taking your illness seriously, etc.
One time I took the usual, illegible Rx to the pharmacy to get meds a specialist had prescribed for me. Was shocked to find out they were the same meds I had told her DIDN'T WORK at the last visit. It was clearly there in my previous report, too, so there's no way she could say she didn't hear me when I told her. She heard me alright, she just didn't check my medical record when she ordered the meds.
EVEN WORSE, at the next visit, she ordered a muscle relaxant for me that I was ALLERGIC to! (And that had been in my medical record for YEARS.) But apparently the origin of the more recent reports was slightly in question. No signature, and no one would verify to me if they were typed offshore or in the US.
So, in addition to educating people about their SS #'s, etc. going offshore, educate them that when something in their medical care is fishy, to become a detective and find out WHERE their reports have been transcribed. My quess is OFFSHORE.
Looking into medical records and include
this into the criteria to hire somebody or not, yes, this I would regard as overall discrimination.
But to be subjected to a hearing test to be hired for an MT job, is not discrimination of any sort.
VR and messed up medical records
I agree. I have a friend who asked me to look at his medical record that he obtained from the hospital and I found a lot of mistakes that would not be made had they not used VR and the MT Editor had not missed those mistakes. Like lists. Instead of a vertical list, it runs the list altogether. Impression 1,2,3 and 4 are in one big paragraph. No punctuation, words run together. Yes, there will be lawsuits.
all medical records should be electronic.

tell everyone you know that medical records go to India
nm
Call the medical records dept there. Sm
I did a bit of this account, too, but my primary was a sister hospital. Loved it.
Any information on MRC-MD, aka Medical Records Corp?
nm
Anyone heard of Medical Records Corp. of MD? sm
They are posting that they are hiring at 10 to 12 cpl, however, wondering what the catch is......are they a school or something??? TIA
Medical Records Corp of Maryland
Anyone know anything about this company? Any info would be appreciated!
Has anyone ever heard of AC Medical Records Management out of Oregon? TIA nm
My personal opinion is MEDICAL RECORDS as we know them will not be around in 3 years.
There will be no need for the HP, DS, and other notes we have to generate right now.
The only reason we do notes is so hospitals can get paid.
If the coders can read the chart, and don't need us to type out what a doctor says, they don't need 80% of what we do.
We shouldn't be doing DIABETES LETTERS and all that crap. That responsibility will be shifted off to other entities.
The op notes may be still done but I sort of doubt it.
 nice know'n ya.
Mine too - Medical Records Corp - Gone with the Qwind. (nm)
(nm)
I remember Medical Records Corporation, worked there, SM
then it became something like Medical Records Group and then Medquist. It kept going down, down, down..... Sad.
Any info on Medical Records Corp or FutureNet?
Can't find much info here on archive search...anybody know anything they can share? thanks much!
When I MT'd inhouse in a hospital medical records dept.,
the hourly pay was around $9/hr. I had plenty of experience too. The lady there who had about 25 years of experience made around $12/hr.... I have no idea why it was so low. That's why I ended up working for a service at home. As low as VR pays, that $9-$12 is starting to sound good though. What a shame this profession is.
Offshoring of American medical records is flat out wrong and...
a security risk in some cases...
Call the hospital medical records dept and ask who does their transcription. They will tell you.

Per job post you need ŕ-3 years of medical records transcription experience"
Reason for the revolving door at OSi, always has been that way, always will be
MRC (Medical Records Corp)?? Any information out there on them. I couldnt find anything in the
archives. Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of applying.
There are few account for editing Powerscribe. Not for medical records or for most radiology sm
accounts. There are few accounts that ditched VR, which is nice. I think that is going to help set Keystrokes apart; being open to the idea of it but not pushing it.
Our medical records are private. They should not be sent overseas. The language barrier can sm
cause a lot of very serious errors in a medical record, and I, for one, want my work kept here.
There are a lot of services that do not send work overseas and will not because they believe in keeping everything in the U.S. It was the deciding factor for me when weighing between two companies. One company was very vague when asked, but the other, Keystrokes, was adamant about staying U.S. only.
I started with them 2 years ago and will retire with this company, as long as it keeps the same ownership (had to clarify that as if the ownership changes, I would probably leave). I have not heard of them selling out, so I am hoping to stay!
I disagree. Accuracy of patient medical records should not be dependent on how smooth your life is
at the time. If you had quality issues, and they were being sent to you, which is a warning, then you should have been extra careful. Our clients deserve a perfect product regardless of what life is handing you at the moment.
Can anyone give me good or bad on Medical Records Corporation or Transcription Relief Services? nm

Errors
Yes, they do deduct for MAJOR errors that affect patient care, not for minor mistakes. If you don't make major mistakes that you should make anyway, you don't get deducted. Duh.
more errors
that should read, major mistakes that you should NOT make anyway. duh. LOL!
errors
Well putting an 'a' or 'an' out of place IS an error, right? That's not nitpicking, it's QA!
There are errors in your posting
and whether or not it is only a law enforcement agency who can provide certain information with good reason...there are companies who can provide any information about you that you would rather be kept from public view without good reason.
Plus, how much will they deduct for errors? (nm)
v
Your'e right, the errors have been corrected.
It was written in a fit of passion after just learning that I lost my job, excuse me. I hope you are never put in this position and don't ever get emotional about losing your job. I am sure you can walk on water also.
Not sure about QA deducting for errors.
Not to toot my own horn, but my QA scores are pretty high so that's never been an issue. The time off isn't technically acrued like on a weekly basis or per hours worked, but you don't just get 2 weeks to take off a month after you're hired, if that makes sense. I'm not sure but I think you might be able to take 1 week after 6 months, something like that. I don't recall how the sick and personal time are allowed to be used in the first year, since I've been there almost 4 years. I'm certain a recruiter would be happy to answer questions along those lines for you, although I'm glad to help with anything else from my general perspective as a current employee.
Docking for errors
 Run for the hills. I think this is absolutely terrible. Tell them to take a hike and leave.
no backup on errors
With some of my QA feedback they are telling me it's wrong because it doesn't match the instructions for the client. The problem is, when checking the client instructions there is nothing in there about what they are counting me off for. For example: we are no longer to separate laboratory data or x-rays into their own category but to combine them with the ER course. I didn't do that because I didn't know that and I got counted off for it, but there was nothing in instructions regarding this. One QA said no big deal, another QA person counted off. I have tried to document and make notes to my supervisor about it, but all it gets me is more grief from the QA because apparently they are being told about it and angrier at me because I said something. I am not perfect and I have made mistakes they have pointed out, but some things I should not be and the QA should also be able to realize they are human as well and can make mistakes. I do QA at my FT job so I know how it all works, but it has to go both ways.
They do not charge you with errors while
on 100% QA so the score always shows 100%, They do make corrections in your reports if needed, but they don't count against you. Once you are released from 100% QA (I was released my second day, some still on 100% for much longer) they only QA 3% so most reports where only blanks are filled in your QA score will show at 100%, but it doesn't mean your monthly QA score is 100%.
Errors and omissions
nm
Errors have to be weighted, some
errors are bigger than others -- i.e. wrong medication transcribed or total phrases left out versus a word misspelled or the wrong punctuation, BIG DIFFERENCE that could be very detrimental to a patient if that report is the only one another doctor is referring to.
Did you catch the errors after you sent it
Or did the company call them to your attention?
You can always correct the errors and resend it, asking them to disregard the first submission if you caught the errors.
