Isn't it funny that Heartland was named in this article, yet...considering that they are getting ready to send ALL of their work to India...it appears that they learned nothing from the experience.

Off shoring
There are unfortunately very few companies that do not offshore anymore. Most would rather not go on the record for doing it. They are doing it to try to make ends meet and to meet 24-hour TAT demands. It is really a shame.
off shoring
You speak garbage and BS. It is corporate greed, is and always will be. You are right about all the stuff we have in our homes that say Made in China but where did it start? There is not one USA car maker that has its total car made in the USA. All the cars components are made elsewhere. The only true American car made entirely in the US is the Ford Excursion. The rest are outsourced. I hate it and most MTs hate it. I make sure that my own personal records from the doctors and hospitals only hire Americans, as I do not want my medical records transcribed anywhere but here. I deplore NAFTA and CAFTA. I think it is wrong. Everything is one sided or leaning that way. AHDI could not get enough members so that started teaching elsewhere to get the membership numbers they wanted. Now they are getting more and more away from transcriptionists problems and they are a lot of the problem also.
But then again, when I see some of the questions on the word board of people needing help, and in reading some of these posts, I am appalled that these are MTs. Some of the most basic stuff coming off the word board should have been something that was taught in MT school. Okay, now I am getting away from the real issue here and it is outsourcing.
IMO, wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!
Which are you against -- outsourcing, off-shoring, or both?? nm

speaking of outsourcing/off-shoring
The news had a segment last night about medical identity theft becoming a big problem in the U.S. Hmm. Interesting. We've been trying to tell them this for years. All one need do is jot down numbers a doctor dictates, whether the software is secure or not. U.S. MTs are accountable and it is a felony. Unless they start extraditing off-shore MTs for felony charges, then they have absolutely no jurisdiction.
I have a feeling more and more legislation about off-shoring confidential information is in America's future.
MT companies and even AAMT like to say there are not enough qualified U.S. MTs. It's not true and we know it. There are simply just not enough U.S. MTs who will work for nothing.
OFF-SHORING issue/idea. sm
I have absolutely no clue how to do this and have never even been to the site,
but I heard on TV about teenagers getting Obama to listen to them through You-Tube.
Why cant we all do that? If someone has more insight, Please Share! This might also be a way to reach out to other MTs who don't know about this site and to the public about our medical records!
What do you think?
Companies will not stop off-shoring. I'm worried about my job

where is the MQ link
I do not see the MQ link to the left of the page anymore. Was it moved?
MQ Link
To sm:
I am sorry for my post. I did not really see the Medquist menu at the left margin as of the time I posted my suggestion. It seems the link has been deleted for some time, as some viewers have just complained.
Thanks,
jgl
see link below
It's an SE position. Fortunately I'm a vet and can get my healthcare at the V.A. I'll figure something out later, but right now I need an INCOME since MQ has messed me up royally. I may have other places I could find health insurance, maybe through the small business organization or something. Ill miss my PTO, but, hey, nothing is perfect :)
no link for me
Since the boards went through an update (about the time the MQ board was made) I haven't been able to see any specialty boards listed on the left anymore, just Top, Home, and Contact. I have to go to Home to see the list of the specialty boards and for some reason MQ board is not even on there with the others.
Try this link.
When the link opens up, look on the left-hand side under News & Info, and there is a section called message board. If this link doesn't work go to yahoo.com and click on finance. When the finance page opens up, type trcr at the top of the page where it says enter symbol(s). The message board link will be on the left-hand side of that page too.
Link to another link. Look for changes soon

They give me a check and a nice luncheon. I've only been working for them for 3 months so I was pleasantly surprised that they invited me since I don't work in-house.

Here's a link when I was asking about them
a while ago. I did contact them and told me only full-time positions but that's all I really asked about so don't know anything more. You might get some hits if you put the name in the Google search at top and click on search MT Stars.
Here's a link.
This has a couple of them.

AHIMA looked into it, suggested everyone do VBC and why. Clients, I suppose, would be the ones to insist on VBR because they can check bills for accuracy.
However, read this one addressing all from MTs voice in the matter, you will love it:

Your link is not working.....sm
also, do you know what specialties they are hiring for? Thanks!
Here is a link to the website (sm)
where you can order the book.
OK... I really want to see some kind of link here. sm
I don't believe this for a second. I believe this poster is just trying to stir things up. If this were really true, then the OP would have posted a link or would have provided the source of the information (the news source) so this could be verified. Otherwise, if no link/source is provided where we can verify this, I would just assume this poster is a troll.
Post a link
Post the link!
Here's the link to the post
suggesting that someone try Spheris. Please explain.
