Thanks. I have noticed some hits on the job board have over 1000 hits and I am thinking oh my!
:
HITS platform.... sm
Didn't you get a HITS manual with your computer? You should have. It's a very user friendly program, "if" you get to use it. I was trained on HITS and then ended up working on two accounts that didn't use it. I was there a month and all I did was train, train and train. Not for me. I'm not saying that happens to everyone. I'm pretty sure most of their accounts use HITS.
Hits just mean people looking. I always look,
s
I am and have been on the HITS platform......sm
since I was hired by Healthscribe. I love the HITS platform, and I am being told that Cornerstone is going to be a combination of both HITS/TWS, but as my TL puts on, on steroids. She seems to think it is going to be a great thing. I hope it is as good as she says, because I am really quite comfortable working in HITS.
I tell ya, when it all hits you the fall sm
is going to be much harder! I only hope folks won't be as unfeeling to you as you have been.
Folks do what they have to do to stretch a dollar my dear. It just hasn't hit you yet but it could and it a much bigger way.
I know personally that when DD hits the bank, I can take it out right then and thus withdrawals can
It does not take 3-5 days. That just is not so.
As far as it being the MT's fault, it is the MT's fault only for relying on their DD to be there! Sorry, but when DD is supposed to be in there, it is supposed to be in there. I have two bank accounts, one is for bills only and that is the one where the DD hits. If my DD were late, I would incur charges. Luckily I work for a company that pays on time and you can always rely on them to have that money in the bank on time.
Unfortunately, some of you work for the MTSO who apparently cannot do that and apparently there are more than one of them.
They should offer to pay your late charges due to their lack of responsibility. However, when the MT has had this happen once, I would hope they would learn their lesson than to rely on doing it again because apparently the MTSOs that do this have no conscience.
I think it's when a post keeps getting hits after it's already reached a certain # of viewings

Have to agree. Tax time hits companies, too.

EHR Deinstallation Trend Hits Phoenix
Publish Date: 7/30/09 - By Allison Tsai
Source: Medical Economics
Though the Phoenix area has seen a high adoption rate for electronic health records, it also is the first region to experience a “deinstallation” trend, according to a HealthLeaders-InterStudy report.
The trend to cancel EHR contracts, especially prevalent among smaller physician groups, is a result of training, functionality or affordability issues, and highlights the need for an affordable solution, according to the Phoenix Market Overview report.
The rapid adoption of EHR technology in Arizona stems from a 2005 executive order by then-Gov. Janet Napolitano, requiring that all healthcare providers install an EHR by 2010. The top hospital systems in the area, Banner Health and Catholic Healthcare West, along with several others, have installed EHRs, but are struggling with the same financial constraints as the small physician groups. EHRs require a significant financial investment in addition to expensive upgrades, according to the report.
Long-term benefits of the technology include reduced transcription costs, lower chart and file storage expenses and the potential for reduced premiums on malpractice insurance, but in areas like Miami, where the recession is threatening the profitability of hospitals, EHR installation has been slow due to lack of funding for such projects.
Chris Clancy, a market analyst with HealthLeaders-InterStudy, says Phoenix may be the first area to experience the deinstallation trend due to its aggressive adoption of the technology, but will likely not be the last. In addition, physician shortages in Phoenix make it difficult for doctors and staff to carve out time for EHR training, Clancy says.
Ex-Spheris MT, HITS is a windows-based application...
you will type in. It is very, very user friendly. Frankly, it is the only aspect I miss about working for Healthscribe/Spheris. Good luck!!
good, let them do all the India work, and take all the hits for law suits...
I wish they would monopolize the India market and totally stick with that...
I also posted an article about this a few weeks back, even with pictures of the offices in India (lot nicer than here).
hope they put all their money into it and then when technology takes all our jobs, they will have nothing.
Medquist, hate it or not, has invested rather in the technology, thereby will be the leaders in that. if I worked there I would train and learn everything I could about working with that technology because that eventually, in my opinion, will drive even Indian MTs into unemployment.
With over 5 million hits per month to this site, it is quite cumbersome to just pick out the bad
posts, so the entire thread goes. Besides that, generally there are a LOT of posts within a thread that are inappropriate. Please don't think for a moment that I'm only referring to OSI. I am referring to ANY company. I am only asking that posters back up what they are saying with FACTS not innuendo.
There are so many hits on the job board for jobs that I wonder if people are qualified that respond
or just send in a resume if they are not. Would be interesting to hear from some of these companies what type of response they are getting.
And furthermore, you can see this hits a sore spot, this giving people backup accounts and then
you run out of them is also ridiculous. There you sit making less and less money and trying to learn multiple dictators and then guess what, that dries up. Once you know that is what a company is doing, then you go to your alternate plans and never look back. Sooner or later when MTs either decide no more or they get multiple jobs and they have to keep hiring and hiring which impacts their quality I am sure it will settle down. At least, I would hope so although it doesnt seem to be right now. Could be because of sending work offshore not sure. All multiple backup accounts do is make it harder to make money and you have more problems with QA and your own quality because you just keep popping in and out of all these accounts that you really dont get to know that well. Knowing an account well is the best way to go for quality and line count for sure, NOT multiple accounts. All that does is help the MTSO keep the work caught up to the exact MINUTE.
I expect I and a lot of others will be also saying bye bye.
:
they can expect all they want,
but you do not have to comply. When they send out their pleading "we need all the team helping on this" move past it. You cannot be productive or happy working 7 days a week for too long. White collar sweatshop is only there if we allow it.
I just have to say this: What do you expect?
A company comes underfire in a public forum by what may well be just 1 employee who didn't make it. There could be many reasons why.
Now, the company cannot name employees but the employee can name employers?
So, why wouldn't you expect an owner to come out swinging? This original post to the thread has nothing wrong in it. I saw the posts that were removed and they should have been.
But you know what? They were not any worse, different, or shocking than the trash that is posted here daily.
While some know how to post appropriately - complain in an appropriate manner still showing some integrity - most do not.
I don't blame her for at least addressing the issue. If MT's don't like employers coming on here defending themselves, perhaps they should consider the ridiculous trash they themselves are handing out.
This is a 2-way street, people.
Don't expect that to last

Expect nothing and you will never be let down (sm)
Some of us got absolutely nothing from our company but personally, I'm just thankful to have a job in this messed up world we live in.
You cannot expect (sm)
to receive more than 7 cpl if you only graduated from an MT school 1 year ago. You are still considered a newbie. Actually, some would say you are lucky to have found a job at all, especially a job that pays 7 CPL. My advice: Stick with your current job for 2 or 3 years; try to work on as many different accounts possible, learn as many different report types possible; then, after 2 or 3 years, search for a company who will pay you a higher rate. I know it is hard to make it on what you are being paid, but we have all been there; it comes with the territory.
If IC, co cant expect you to do ANYTHING for no

Expect nothing, get nothing.

Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you??
Oh come on!! How do you expect her to
stay in business if she isn't making something beyond what she pays the sorry likes of you?? I think we'll all heard enough from you today and probably for a long time to come.
But why do it if you don't have to? And why expect
others to do it just because you have to? This whole conversation is silly.
I don't expect others to do it because I sm
may or may not do it. I expect others to not knock me or the ones who are willing to change their hours around and do what it takes to get work when there is none. If you have no work and you have no money but won't work when the work is not there because the shift is not to your liking, then why feel sorry for you?
I am glad you have what you want. some of us like it this way or are working this way because the work isn't always there when WE WANT IT.
No, and I don't expect to sm
I just could not hack it anymore. Low work, no work, big push for ASR...I left.
I am starting with another company next Wednesday. I will have the schedule I have dreamed of having. They don't know it yet, but they will have to find me at least one more account to work on because I tend to slurp up a lot jobs. I know they will keep me happy.
I took an interim IC position that is actually pretty good. I kept my very long term PT job all the way through my time with TT and am working it more while I have a bit of a hiatus between jobs.
TT people are very nice, but nice didn't pay the bills. I was suffering physically and emotionally trying to work more hours to make the same amount of money. I have taken a raise over my previous pay, will have benefits and a nice incentive program with my new company. I feel your pain, I have been there!
I'm with you fat cat. I don't expect sm
anything either from anybody. If it comes great, if it doesn't then I probably forgot there was an MT week anyway and don't CARE!
Good grief, there is a week for everything under the planet it seems. Is everyone required to send a gift out for every week that somebody makes up?
I don't know who even started MT week to begin wtih, probably AAMT. Whoever did had to have somekind of a money gimmick. You kind of like Hallmark has a holiday for everything so they can sell cards? AAMT probably did this so they could sell their junk for MT week. Folks need to grow up.
Well, I expect
that since I posted in one of my posts that any member of management who read the post would know exactly who I was, it proved to be true. Too bad they don't have anything to do other than puruse these boards. Otherwise, I expect it wouldn't be hard to find out identifying information for anyone. The more I think about it the more furious I become.
So you don't expect anything during MT week either?
Since you're doing your job as is expected of you. 
As an MTSO, maybe you can tell us what you expect?
If we as MTs do not give a company 2 weeks notice, then we are accused of being unprofessional and get slammed. I did not take it personally, I did find it offensive professionally. If I had been trusted to work with confidential information for years, what makes a company think all of the sudden I was not to be trusted. If I wanted to be unprofessional, I would have just left and not given notice at all. Seems we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. What is it that you would expect from an MT quitting their job?
Both. If you do school, expect to do OJT anyway. nm

When to expect first paycheck?
For those you have undergoine training at Medware, I am just wondering when should I expect my first paycheck? I have been in training with Medware for almost 4 weeks now. Thanks
what do you expect. We keep saying on these boards
that things are going down the tubes, then some Pollyanna's get on and gush about how great their business is doing and you must have poor skills if you can't get paid more than 3 cpl, bla,bla,bla. Look at the big picture. MT is going to get worse, not better.
Well, *I* don't expect to get every job I apply for...
but I certainly do expect the courtesy of a reply, especially when I've spent a good amount of my time actually testing for the position. I didn't get the impression that Mting was necessarily *expecting* to get the job he/she was referring to either.
Please back away from the coffee pot and turn off the caps. Thank you.
Expect to be frustrated
You'll try to communicate with them in English but they will not understand and just keep pushing other issues. They do not understand NO so be prepared to repeat yourself over and over when you are unable to work a certain day or time etc. Good luck with that one. People do not stay long there and your QA is done by people in India so do not bother taking any notes on the correct or incorrect way to transcribe as what you learn will never apply anywhere else you ever work. Best wishes..
And you expect us to believe you know anything about TT? First off, it is not owned by a man,
but rather it is owned by two people. Secondly, they have never, not once, cheated me. I know because I checked extensively every single day when I started and *still* check randomly because I have had such bad experienced elsewhere.
The people are nice, they treat me well, the workload is steady, the work is pretty good. Is it perfect? Of course not. It is, though, the best job I have had in 14 years of doing MT'ing at home.
You clearly have some sort of personal problem with Transtech. Go away and wallow in your own misery.
Yes they did. However, should expect it, since entire co is

What to expect at interview?
I know this is inane, but how do companies conduct interviews? Will I be quizzed on terminology and such? I’ve been doing transcription for 6+ years and am comfortable with my ability/knowledge but have terrible anxiety and freeze under pressure, or worse, turn into a babbling, stammering idiot. (I should have taken more public speaking classes in school – or Paxil maybe – LOL!) I have an interview today and would like to prepare myself if I’ll be subject to a barrage of questions. Perhaps I should stop drinking coffee....
Blessed are they that expect nothing
One of my dad's fave sayings.
Thanks for answering this though, I'm new at Webmedx and am glad to know for sure so I won't be sitting at my mailbox with my tongue hanging out. Now I can be one of the blessed, LOL. 
Don't expect a response from them
Most of those who are the chiefs think they are too good to answer the lowly peons and slaves who work for them. The only way you get a response is to include someone near the very top of the ladder on your e-mails and then they will answer.
they expect DD to resume Oct/Nov

They are rude, and they expect
your work to be perfect 100% days after you are hired. Bad on communication, hardly any feedback. very disorganized. Faye is the rude one, very rude and uncaring.
They do expect you to hold to your
scheduled hours unless the work is slow. Then you can flex, but you need to make up your time later.
One weekend per month is required.
Don't expect someone to do the work for you
looking for a company isn't THAT hard. You do the research, have interviews, weigh pros and cons. Be self-reliant and stop whining *oh, no one wants to help me*. IMO
Expect it no time soon
First, it's just something BO wants to do; since it would still have to get through both houses of Congress, do not look for it to happen anytime soon.
Also, it doesn't so much prevent offshoring as it changes the way taxes are paid on it. If I understand it correctly, a US-based company can write down any taxable profits with what they invest in their offshore operations. BO's plan would stop that practice, thereby taxing their pre-offshore profit, and also eliminate some chicanery having to do with countries that have a lower tax base rate than ours.
They pay 70%, and I expect they will "adjust it"

I expect I could learn it but
I can't imagine much of anything being more boring and one's ears can only hear so fast. I know too many MTs, all working for different companies, and ALL of them are looking to get out of MT. It isn't a matter of making it work for them, it's a matter of them making only 50-60% of what they made doing straight transcription.
Leadfeather, they expect us to edit VR because they can
They (management of companies who ask us to do this) know that most people who do MT are not wealthy people, or even average income-wise and are desperate for any work/income they can get. They use this information to their advantage and always will. You said it when you said "a few measly hundred dollars". To many MT's that's a lot of money.
Unfortunate but true.
You can expect it, but that doesn't mean you'll get it.
I still haven't hit $20,000 a year from MT and I'm not a newbie.
Well, surely you don't expect Spheris to
learn from the lawsuits the Squid is tangled in, do you? If your MTs can't get an accurate line count, then an accurate line count cannot be billed. Any time a company acquires another company, there will be changes (I'm not saying good changes or bad changes, just count on changes).
I worked at an MTSO who seriously wanted Vianeta but passed on it because of the line inaccuracy issue as they did not want their stellar reputation in the community to suffer. (smart move).
