... they have switched to all EMR (all data entry on their side and no transcription). He HATES it. Complains about it every single day. He's only doing it because he has no choice, but states that (a) he's having to do a job he wasn't -TRAINED- to do, i.e. grammar, punctuation, spelling and (b) it's taking an even more huge chunk of the feeling of being -personal- with your patients away, because he gets to say less about them in his dictations as -people.- They're becoming more and more like machines to him that he has to -fix.-
On top of it, it's just putting more and more responsibility on the providers - and they don't desire that.
From what I understand, most docs hate the -form-filling EMR- just as much as we do.
Hopefully, that will factor into our future as MT.

Army Brat is 100% correct.
I was approached by the recruiter of a company I was working for once because there was an opening for a lead, and she asked me if I was interested. She said it was a gravy job, that I would spend a certain percentage of my time transcribing, and I could pick and choose which jobs I wanted to transcribe.
I declined because I didn't think that was fair to all the other transcriptionists, but it gave me a glimpse into the window of medical transcription because I knew if it wasn't myself stealing all the good jobs, it would be someone else.
I eventually resigned from the company and am glad I did. Found a much better job.
There are, Food Shelf, Goodwill, Salvation Army. LOL! nm
.
Transtech no work situation putting me in the Salvation Army food line?
This is utterly ridiculous -- NO WORK/LOW WORK. It is not even the holidays yet. D. giving the title of an email Census does not make that the reason for the low/no work situation at Transtech! There are other reasons OTHER THAN CENSUS. That is so sickening all the time. The greatest need of us MT's is honesty from their employer --- from the very beginning of employment to the end!
Even a child could see through their excuses for NO WORK.
