The title was something like
'EMR Scribe' or 'Medical Scribe' or some nonsense.
The title should say "I wish." nm
:)
Your title says it all...MT way too long
BITTER..
What is the storyline title to the article?

Title: TRANSCEND QA Position
Can anyone tell me what the QA staff (team) is like at Transcend?
I’m thinking about applying for a position but want to know what the quotas
for QA are, and approximately how much of the total volume is ESL? The
good, bad and the ugly are all welcome!
Thanks
I think the title of post set people off...
tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
It's TRX...the OP listed on the title of her post
The name is in the title - DICTATION BY PHONE (nt)

You are right. I am going to implement this title immediately. Thank you very much! nm

I understand even less now. MQ does not have the title of "proofer" either! No editors and no
proofers! Just makes me wonder who you really are. No offense, but a long time ago lots of lawyers were fishing for info using questions like yours. I've been with MQ for 14 years, in a lot of "titles", and never heard 1 office having proofers! Not one of our job descriptions! As for retroactive pay, I have never heard of that either! So guess I'll just exit now, as obviously cannot help you!
It's a mythical title created by the AAMT to get yet another fee out of us
Ask any doctor what a CMT is. They have never heard of it.
Well, there ya go.
I would suspect that with the name Global in the title, its probably India...dunno though.

Medical language specialist is a title made up by MTs. The truth is...sm
...we are transcriptionists. Our job is to type what the doc/PA/nurse dictates. Look at a court reporter; she can call herself a legal language specialist or a juris stenographer or whatever else she comes up with, but her job is to provide a transcript of WHAT IS SAID in court. She is not changing anything, and nobody expects her to. In fact, if she did, there would be huge repercussions!
Same for closed captioning transcriptionists. What is said goes in the ears and out the fingers, no changes.
The difference between us and them is that we deal in medical language.
My title and my job is medical transcriptionist. I have also been a transcription editor. If the account says type verbatim, I do just that, and it matters not to me if the doc ends the sentence with a preposition. I'm here to provide a hard copy of what he said, not make him look like he went to charm school. If the doc/site/account/client decides the charts look foolish, they are free to allow me light editing privileges for the sake of clarity.
If you want to correct someone else's words, become a copy editor.
Absolutely false
TSSC has only ever given 5-6 voice files to test. ONE and only 1 of the files is an ESL. You obviously have no clue what you are talkinga bout.
False statements
Amen to that.
Besides stating that your DD is not there, when it is NOT there is not exactly a false statemtn. TT112 needs to get a life
false hope
There was a lot of talk about how much work there was going to be with the new accounts, and evidently it was all just talk. They are still playing the same games they have always played. I wonder how many transcriptionists they actually have to cover all the large amount of lines that supposedly they were going to have? They will eventually run out of transcriptionists to hire who will stay there with no work.
False security...DUH !
The email address isn't what they check; any dummy can use a false name. IP address and computer MAC address is what they check.
No anonymity.
That is totally false
I am an account lead there and have been with the company for 3 years, and I can tell you that is not the case at all.
Absolutely 100% false
That is completely untrue. It's one of the most ridiculous rumors I have ever heard.
Slander is when there are false statements. .
NM
That's an absolutely false accusation.!
Don't know where you got your information but you're totally wrong unless you worked for them and did something which was against their rules...or was fired for something, or could it be because you just come on this board and bash them all the time.
Would you care to expand on your reasoning for your hateful comments?
That is a completely false statement
I have been with KS for almost 3 years now and they are, by far, the most caring, employee-oriented company I have ever worked for, and I have worked for many MTSOs over the years. If you are dedicated, dependable, and a hard worker, they will bend over backwards for you. I don't know where you got the idea that they only care about productivity. If you have problems, you need to contact one of the HIM managers or HR. They are all very, very nice people. Also, the CEO is one of the most caring people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
This post is patently FALSE
They did not keep only a handful of ICs to cover only what India cannot. Why would you spout such stuff without having facts at hand?
Also, CBAY is an American company with a subsidiary also in India (CBAY-India).
Their pay is on par with what most companies are paying. Payment is always on time. They are no longer doing employees, just IC status.
I didn't see any such postings and if there were, they're false
Why don't you use the time and energy that you use posting lies about one of the few REPUTABLE companies left and fix what's wrong with the company you're working for. I smell jealous management.
Go spread your lies somewhere else. This is utterly false. sm
There are three people who do the training, and it is very thorough. How would you know anything about the owner? First of all, it is they not she. Secondly, I have worked at KS for 3 years and have never had any contact with either of them.
I am training to be a lead transcriptionist, so I have talked to a lot of managers, other leads and transcriptionists. All are very busy, and the accounts are not overstaffed. Every one of the more than 20 people I have been in contact with are very happy.
There have been no accounts lost in the past several years. If you were really an employee, you would know that no one has pulled an account and that there are new accounts constantly.
Broken promises? Very vague, don't you think? The employee book spells everything out. There are no secrets.
Either they let you go for one reason or another and your are bitter or you were never hired.
I think that Keystrokes is the most improved company I have ever seen discussed here or on other boards. They did have problems when they started but those are in the past. Current employees are either happy or being worked with to make them happy.
I am looking forward to being a lead and to staying with Keystrokes as long as they will have me.
Transcend false recruiting/low work
I was hired two weeks ago to do Cardiology, but hardly any Cardiology. I am stuck voice-editing the leftover clinic notes!! Potential Transcend employees, beware!! Recruiters will say anything to snare you.
So far as I know making false statements is illegal
See possible answer post..............now I'm going to work so I will have a paycheck to be deposited.
If illegal to make false statements, everyone would
x
The only thing wrong with this is that the claims are false. sm
I have been with KS for 3 years. I am treated fairly. I was also the lead for the person who is named as the person putting in the lawsuit. That person was fired for quality issues and is obviously trying to get even with the company.
Lawsuits can be filed. Filing one or having one out there does not mean that the company is guilty. If that was the case, there would be no reason for a case to be filed; you could basically just send a company a bill for whatever you want.
This is a fact and you might as well accept it for what it is -- FACT !
It would be a sevice that uses ExText, such as Keystrokes, and I don't know who else uses it. I would think that Keystrokes is as big or bigger than TT now, however, wouldn't you?
the posting is the exact same posting as you read on the
job seekers board. It is under state boards
Once again, a general blanket statement that is completely false. sm
Many hospitals and clinics do a 100% complete outsource of one or more departments. The dumping and overflow could very well be at a company level. How do I know? I am a Team Lead at a big company and we do 100% of the work for more than 50 facilities.
Overhiring and giving new-hires false impressions that
they'll be able to make a decent day's pay is scamming too, cupcake.
False or incomplete information is what hurts this industry the most. sm
Keystrokes is hiring and has many openings. The ER account I am on needs 2 or 3 more people, the B4 account my SIL is on is short-handed and they are hiring like crazy because of new accounts.
If you do not have enough work, contact your manager or go above her/his head. There is plenty of work there.
I also know for a fact that they are hiring for orthopedics due to a large new account because they sent an email asking if anyone knew anyone who was looking for full-time ortho work.
They do not overhire. Quite the opposite, actually. We are always asked to work extra. I know they are looking to balance this out but will not hurt current employees by overhiring.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.
It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.
With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.
Not everyone is good at everything.
Very serious in fact.
They are advertising a nationwide position and then selectively weeding out geographical areas. They need full disclosure or maybe they need a big fat lawsuit. Either way, I'm not kidding.
I know for a fact that MQ wants my SM
hospital's transcription (I'm a hospital employee), but they won't take overflow only. They want it ALL and won't take the account unless they get rid of the hospital employees.
I know it can be done - but not at MDI-MD. This I know for a fact.
xx
it can be just because of the fact sm
that the work has to be done. BUT, it only turns into that if you let it.
What I have found after working for years and years as an IC that if you are an employee who puts out a high quality finished product and do your best that the companies (maybe not all of them) will usually go out of their way to make you happy.
There was a time when MQ before it was MQ and still Transcriptions Limited was such a company. This all makes me so sad that this company has been allowed to be destroyed like it has. I know there are folks who are still happy with it and I am glad, but for the ones who are not and especially those of us who were around for years and saw the other side of the company, it is very sad.
As far as IC status, its kind of a trade off really. You are giving up benefits etc to be able to be an IC and not have to have set hours. But you have to work those hours out for yourself. If you have to be an employee because of benefits then the trade off is not having much flexibility. Either way though you do have control in how you let folks treat you.
Well, I know for a fact that..........
they offshore A LOT of the work because I used to work for them for 2 years, and was always running out of work for a huge, huge account which they lost? More like they gave it to those overseas to do totally. When I did work for them, you could tell that most of that account was being typed overseas because when you had to access a former document in the Chartnet on a particular patient, it would bring it up, and actually seemed to be typed like the person did not know anything about English, let alone medical terminology which was atrocious!!
I have since moved on because I actually need to work!!
No I just know for a fact that
TTS treats their employees very poorly, does not pay on time, if ever. Will warn anyone I can to stay away from there. Not trying to jab at anyone, just trying to protect someone else from falling into that. Take a look at all the posts on this board, we can't all be wrong can we?
No it isn't; its fact
Some of us have no problem with facts.
I know for a fact that this happens...
one of the MTs I know who also does QA said she sees this all the time, that some QA people will just take out words or put in words to send the report through...so it does happen and I am sure this isn't the only company that this happens with.
what's a fact? nm
nm
fact is
Management can't let you know anything because they don't know themselves yet. They have to have work to survive first for themselves and then will give out the work to those who are still waiting for it. It you quit, you quit, just more work for them and when it picks back up they'll hire more if need be. What don't you get, happens with every company. They'll throw you a job here and there to keep you hoping and it's up to you to stay or go.
I believe it's also due to the fact that
some people (a lot of them on this board) will look for any reason to badmouth and complain. I don't come here often for that reason either. It gets really old and discouraging to see nothing but negativity and bashing each time I come here.
I am in fact an MT. Do you not know
what benefits your company offers?
This is very true. I know this for a fact.
x
It's a TRUE FACT
They change that divisor however they want. It's true. I know it for a fact. I hope to see them go under!
Fact or fiction?
Fact: It was posted on this forum that Karen, the ex-HR person, was let go on terms that were less than good.
Fact: It was posted on this forum that Karen, the ex-HR person, in fact stole HR files of new hires/possible new hires when she was let go. This was the reason/excuse why so many MTs who applied at KS during this time period were never contacted about their possible hiring/training.
Fact: I know this is fact because it happend to me while I was in the process of trying to "get hired."
Fact: In the last 3 years, there have been 2 pay decreases across the board at KS. This is also posted in the archives on this forum.
Fact: Last summer when the second pay decrease was implemented, it was brought out that there had been a first pay decrease before and Lee and other management people posted on this forum that this was not true. Well, we know that was a lie as the archives tell different.
Fact: We know that many, many people cannot get past the initial interview and actually work for KS because no one contacts them. This is also posted on this forum again and again.
Fact: We know that any time some MT tries to post an honest response about their unfortunate experience with KS, all KS management including the owner get on here and call the MTs liars and bash them, blaming them for being a bad MT.
What other facts should I get straight?
Fact or fiction?
Bravo!
Only thing you left out is the FACT that this entire thread will probably be deleted after your last stated fact has taken place.
Thank you!!!
