Charts in Time
Just to clarify .. and I certainly did not have to come back and do this .. so keep that in mind .. when I made up that moniker I thought it was catchy .. it does not reflect anything positive or negative about the company. We are a smaller company with lots of work, new clients coming on in June, and are looking for talented and professional transcriptionists who can and will come and work with us to achieve mutual goals. We are growing and I have a great group who work with us .. we've had one or two exceptions and those people have moved on and with luck secured other positions where they will be able to carry on and make a living. So, I don't think there was anything sneaky or misleading in my post .. and I will stop trying to catch your eye .. perhaps people who want a good position with an honest company will respond. I live in hope and so far, we have been particularly fortunate with our hires and for that I am so thankful.
Happy Mother's Day to all who are. Have a wonderful day!
Charts can be reached at ..
727-573-7704. They are located in St. Petersburg, Fl. Since I am the former recruiter/transcription manager you can be sure this information is correct. You would need to ask for Suzanne. the owner or the new manager, Betsy. As for the name calling, it is hardly appreciated.
Docs using PC's instead of charts sm
The younger docs are now carrying laptops into the examining room, no more charts. My husband and I had extensive, large charts (which we earned through serious stuff) and now they have been replaced by the young staff coming in with a laptop, no more charts. I was not brave enough to ask at my last visit but I will this visit, Where are our huge charts? Mine used to make comments about the large chart and too many papers. I wanted to say, Do you ever read any of those reports? Very curt, very non-caring attitude, told me last time had had input all my allergies (which are serious) into his computer. I am really worried as my husband and I have been through a lot. I think they could very easily print a H&P from there if you went into a hospital. Two of my clients used to do open heart surgery and they would ask me to print out a H&P from the chart just before the surgery. Some of those people they had not seen in years. I explained that I would not do that as the patient could have developed an illness since last seen. You gotta thank computers for replacing us. Between outsourcing and electronic medical record, we are becoming distinct as the dinosaur. Just IMHO from this area anyway.

NEED HELP - getting reports into digital charts (sm)
Our company is having difficulty getting our reports we transcribe in microsoft word and send by internet to the company -- put into any digital chart they are trying to create ----- to meet the mandate coming up in about 2010.
They are caving to the idea that all transcription MUST be done by voice recognition in order for everything to MESH -- if you get my drift.
I can't believe that it is necessary to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Also, I have never seen a doctor's pay be the same as an MT - and thus wouldn't their time be better spent generating income than doing clerical work?  but then what do I know -- I'm ONLY an MT. grrr
anyway, has anybody worked through this conundrum and been able to find a program to transcribe on that is compatible with any type of EMR (electronic medical record) program - which I personally thing EMR stinks and should be burned in the pit.
There must be programs that are compatible that allow transcription to still be done (we are the last stopgap measure against errors that happen - we do much more than just type -- do they know this?) and still allow doctors to sputter out their hurridly done dictations as they scurry about -- leaving them available to actually see patients rather than sitting there doing corrections.
Thanks for any help you all.
send email or answer here -- either would be totally appreciated. 
Not when those charts have to go through 2 layers of editing before going to the site. sm
Someone in india types them and sends them to MW, where an Editor does a 100% review, and if there are still blanks, it goes to another level of MW editor. You've just paid 1 Transcriptionist and 2 editors for what 1 U.S. transcriptionist could do. I don't understand the benefit, either.
I think a bigger reason for the cut in editor pay was due to too many editors doing too little work. When you work from home at an hourly wage, it's really easy to slack off, take way too long looking up a word, doing other things other than working, and chatting on team mail. I don't blame them for going to a per-line rate, though it is insultingly low.

I am new at TT and I just gotta say....
Thank Heaven! I finally found a place that has work! I have not even had to work on my secondary or tertiary accounts. Even with the holiday weekend, I still had more than enough work. It is a great place to work. I am so glad I found them. I barely made $600 a month at the last place I was at, I made that in a week at TT.
I gotta ask why?
I prefer multispecialty and I'm looking for a new job. Is it because the acute care reports are generally longer, i.e. d/s and h&p's, etc?
Ya gotta know this....
I just put People's Support Transcription in the search box. Did you know these posts show up on the web?
Take a look and you will see what I am talking about. Our posts are not exclusive to MT Stars web site! Just found out. Thought you would be interested.
yes, but they gotta be better than
nm
TY so much; I gotta think about this one :)

Then I gotta say
you aren't very smart. A 501(c)3 would allow you to get and accept donations to feed those critters whether you took a salary or not. Animal (any kind) food isn't cheap and I know whereof I speak.
Well, I gotta say
I'm no happier about these changes than anyone else. I'm glad I never gave the extra help like so many others. I basically worked my lines and that was it. If I worked any extra it was because I wanted to, not because I felt I had to. When I left the Q, I decided to never give myself like that again.
I'm still here but I don't know for how long. I've been looking at other positions and trying to get a plan B and C in place. In addition to MTing, I'm also looking into a few office jobs that are going to be available soon in my area. I hate the thought of going back to work in an office and finding childcare for my kids in the summer, but I will not take a paycut for Transcend or anyone else. I also will not sit and wait for work. I didn't do it for MDI or MQ and I won't do it for anyone else.
I'm looking out for #1. That's what the MTSOs do, so that's what I'm doing. I don't really feel one way or the other about the merger. I don't like the fact that I'm looking at starting a new job, but that's life. It goes on with or without me and I prefer to be a part of it. 
I gotta try that!
I didn't even know gourds were edible. We love eggplant parmesan which I make and freeze every year for ready-made dinners when I don't feel like cooking.
okay, whatever you say. Gotta go work!
Gotta say, though, it's more than what Softscript does!!!
Gotta Love OSi
I just have to brag up OSi. Haven't read much good here...just thought I would let everyone know that they have given their benefit package a huge boost this week. Full-time employees will now be receiving 5 cents extra per line on holidays and the PTO was just raised significantly also. OSi IS a wonderful place to work!

sm - You gotta be kidding me
So I wonder what your turn over rate is for bringing on every and any MT who cheats per your standards...very low morals
Gotta new bulletin for ya
There is nothing 'petty' about these posts. And they aren't BS either. And you are prime example of MTSOs that don't, or won't, get it...
I used to be an MTSO so I'm well aware of both sides of the equation. The complaints here are legitimate - and the lurking MTSOs out there reading 'our' board would be wise to reflect on the message.
If you think for a New York second it's easy to be on our side of the street, think again. There is NO reason why these complaints should not be aired. IF they don't pertain to you, why are you so upset?
Something tells me he/she doth protest too much.
Gotta hand it to ya

just gotta put my 2 cents in . . . sm
I LOVED working for DSG, I agree with the poster who said about a year ago they went bad, actually they started earlier than that. But, my pay was NOT on time and was NOT correct and that is why I am no longer there. They messed up my direct deposit three times and expected me to wait for my paycheck. I asked them to overnight it and they were HIGHLY offended, did NOT want to go out of their way for it. Guess what happens when your direct deposit does not go in (without you knowing ahead of time), but all of your automatic payments go out????? What a mess. They are terribly rude, they micromanage, they get mad if you don't get your lines in (even when workload is low), but expect you to jump and type when the work does show up, no matter what time of day it is. What a joke. I LOVED them when I first worked there four years ago, AND, YES, when someone posted something negative, we did get a mass email asking us to defend our company. I remember it well and I was one of the first to do so. DSG is poorly, poorly managed. NOT a good place to work. How sad, too, I LOVED their platform, yes their dictators are quite bad, though. Okay, I'm done!!!
Did you say clinics? Then gotta be
bb
gotta agree
I'm going through that right now. I've had two suspicious tests with companies. One was extremely hard and poor quality. I felt like they were putting that one out as a test just to help themselves figure it out. It makes it really tough for someone who really needs work. I just lost a 10 year cardiology account to India, and I'm wasting all this time on bogus testing or tests that are not geared to the specialty advertised. When I see a cardiology job, it would be nice to have a test specific to cardiology, not family practice, orthopaedics or surgery. Yes, I know how things cross specialty lines. Duh, most people seeing a cardiologist also have other problems the doc talks about. Also, I'm not a doctor, and some of these tests ask questions that I just frankly do not need to know, especially at the pay rate they're advertising.
7 cpl for an Exp MT. You gotta be kidding
7 cpl? I'm looking for PT to supplement my income, but I'm not THAT desperate. How absolutely insulting...
Gotta transition
It sounds like they are just setting up the transition to EMR. In theory there isn't much work that needs to be done except you don't have to print the reports and put them in a physical chart. This sounds like you are helping the company put all their old records into the EMR and get the new ones up and running...phrases like: cross training of new staff assigned and work with EMR implementation team with suggestions or changes; indicate you are helping them transition. It will be interesting to see how the MT job changes as EMR is more implemented - I'm scared as it is how VR is completely ruining the job!!
Gotta ask what is MTOB??? nm
gotta say, I never knew him, but Dr.
Reeves was our local version down in galveston county. I did work for a neurologist in the scurlock towers. I think these are both retired now. I have to admit, it does not take much to make a person feel good about themselves. We had a radiology group at 2 local hospitals and after my husband died, I stayed home for about 4-5 years before going to work at the OTHER facility. They apparently were having a lot of complaints, so much so that 3 months later I got flowers from my boss because it was the first time they had not killed her in staff meeting that month over their dictation. In fact, they paid her a compliment. But the main one was walking into radiology that first day to pick up slips (we were on a dictaphone loop then) and the radiologist looked up and said thank God. The poor pathologist there had to train every girl they had ever hired. This was a smaller facility and they were kicking the other facility's butt with patient loyalty. In fact, I am glad I worked there and got to experience the small town flavor of it. Company picnics brought out everybody and none of the spouses complained about having to go, we all enjoyed it. Oh, those were the days, my friend. The cardiologist from India was the one I referred to earlier and such a sweet man. I grabbed the stat tape off of Dictaphone and automatically hit rewind and erase, got most of it, but the last one I could not understand. Managed to grab him as he was walking out and explained I needed him to redictate the last report and when he asked if I had equipment problems, I just told, no sir, I can't like to you, I totally screwed up and he said don't worry, I will go do it now. These guys were real people, I don't know WHO these are people are, some kind of laminites out of new billfold pictures or something!
You gotta be kidding me!!
How unscrupulous can these companies get? Yes, I have had no work available situations - then used up my PTO to get bills paid on time - then low work continued and lost my benefits with a company. Never heard of the slowing down the server tactic but I would not put anything past some of these companies. GREED by the MTSOs has turned being a loyal and conscientous MT and this profession into a disaster.
Gotta chime in here....
You were not wrong or naive or anything, screwee (I love that, btw!). I'm a fellow screwee, and you know what?
In spite of D selling us down the river(or across the ocean to be more precise), WE, the MTs, made that place what it was. We were the cream of the crop. We believed that propaganda about being a 'family' and it being 'our' company because we have the standards and work ethics that feed on that type of motivation. We take pride in our work. We take pride in our company. If THEY looked good, WE looked good.
To me, the attraction of MDI-MD to Transcend and the purchase thereof speaks volumes about how WE, the MTs, made that company shine and stand out, made it a cut above so many others. WE, with OUR hard work, made MDI-MD a shiny little star of an MTSO that Transcend wanted. And got.
My skills will no longer be used to promote MDI-MD or Transcend. I stopped working for them immediately. I will NOT participate in offshoring, and if I'm interpreting what I'm reading about Transcend correctly, they only plan to INCREASE their offshoring because of profits.
I want to offer you my congratulations, because you (and the rest of the MDI-MD team of MTs) were the brilliance that made the company great.
Now it's just another mediocre sellout, as it's losing all of its talent with this sale.
Gotta say something here about CB/Cranky
I hear/see where you're coming from. If I didn't know better, I'd swear CB was a Transcend corporate mole here to give us individual pep talks.
But the truth is, I've been following CB's posts for MONTHS now, ever since she first was heartsick to learn her company had been sold to Transcend and the trepidation she felt. I've followed her posts since then because I've usually found them to be informative and interesting.
I'm gonna step up and say nah, you're off base here. I believe everything CB says on here. I think she was very fortunate in that she got to stay on her account and so things just didn't change a lot for her. She has maintained this since she transitioned over in the TRS/Transcend merger. She didn't appear out of nowhere when the MDI-MD/Transcend takeover was announced...She's been around here for awhile and I, for one, take her posts completely at face value. I just don't believe she has any reason to misrepresent anything about her situation and I honestly think her intent in her posts is to let the newest victims of a merger know that her situation has, so far, worked out okay for her.
A random poster who I wasn't familiar with, I'd be VERY wary of right now.
But CB? Nah, she's just BTDT and she's being kind enough to take the time to share her personal experience with all of us, and I for one appreciate hearing her side of it.
Just gotta say Dannyboy .....
