change or growth.  What I was talking about was the continuous posting by the same people, over and over again, that is vague and destructive.  This is not just about Keystrokes, this is about the posts for other companies as well.

I think that not every MT is a good fit for every company, and not every company is good fit for every MT.  If this were the case, there would be very little job searching or hiring going on, only if someone retired or left the field or entered the field.

It is the outright lying that is so horrible.  Keystrokes is a transcription company which means that we have the normal ups and downs that every company has in terms of slow and busy periods.  We have been very fortunate to have very little down time due to busy and also new accounts. 

If there are check problems, they are resolved.  We all wish there were no problems and this is the biggest topic at manager meetings, but human error comes into play here as well.  We have a new time recording system that should eliminate that, if the information is entered correctly from the MT. 

If there are tough dictators on the account, it is not the fault of the company.  It is the fault of the hospital that has them on staff, but you have to take the good with the bad.

If there are QA complaints, it is usually that the leads are too strict.  The owners have said that they would rather be known for being too picky than too lenient, thus having accounts say the work is not up to standard. 

If there is a reliability problem, it just might not be a good fit.

I know that if I were to take over recruiting and hiring (which I absolutely want NOTHING to do with), I would not take job hoppers.  However, I have been told that you have to look at the hopping and why it has happened.  A lot could be poor choices.  That's why I will never be in charge of hiring, but I can control the MT QA and reliability once they are on my account.

I feel better today.  I just cannot re-take that test though.  After that experience, I refuse to test on any tests which have the entire test on one web page, including the download and transcribing of files onto the same page.  It is too risky that the page could disappear.  Live and learn I guess. 

This MT testing is so grueling I will be glad when it is over!  Thanks for letting me vent! 

to get my photo license, so this worked out fine. Ran and did that plus stopped for bread and cheese for ham sandwiches. Took no time at all as the center was empty, as was the grocery store. Guess everyone is at the mall exchanging their gifts.

We were warned the other day that it may be VERY slow after Christmas and I looked forward to it. How I wish I could go to the mall and get new outdoor lights. Ours were blown out, so it was a dark and dreary Christmas Eve night. It's the only time we turn our lights on.

Could anyone give me info on Meridian Healthcare Group, LLC out of Indiana or Transcription-Express (don't know where they are from)

Any info would be appreciated!

Dear All!  I'm writing a business plan and conducting some initial market surveys, and since all of you have always been a wealth of information, I figured this was a good place to start.  I need to know what dictation/transcription platform any company you can think of is on.  Please respond, just a quick post with the company name, platform, and if it is a web based platform (if you know).  Thank you all in advance!!!

The first and foremost would be promotion of US-based transcription for US-based patients.  I feel there are major, major privacy issues at hand there, and I would personally have trouble with my personal info being shipped overseas.

Certification I think is very, very debatable.  AAMT has tried to make a standard practice, but really it isn't.  You have to be certified and continue with education to be a nurse because those practices are standard and regulated pretty  much across the board without too much difference.  MTs have to do what the client at the time asks, and there is a ton a variation between companies and clients.  I have worked for a lot of different places and have yet to find one that follows even half of the important rules of the BOS. 

I also think another organization should point out certain advantages to being an MT, at home or otherwise.  AAMT wants you of course to buy books and whatnot from their store, but there are many other resources online that are available to us simply because we are members of the medical field; most are free.  Working at home gets you discounts on things like car insurance (cut mine in half).  There are many advantages to ousourcing companies that hire at-home employees as well which are growing all the time.

I would absolutely participate as much as I can in getting something like this going.  AAMT as decided where they are which is perfectly okay.  They just now need replaced.

Invoiced and billed employer who has not sent me a check.  I did email and a check was to be sent to me by this past Friday, but is now not responding to email inquiries as to the status and whether or not the checks were mailed (they now owe me 2).

Which regulatory agencies or legal groups do I contact in this regard in order to be paid?

Protrans Transcription Solutions in Las Vegas?  All input/help is greatly appreciated!!

I am a small MTSO and I need overflow help with neurology and orthopedics clinic notes. Work would be available once or twice per week, for now. I will pay by PayPal per job completed or weekly by snail mail, your choice. Testing is required. Please send resume and pay requirements if interested.

I am IC for a company.  When I first started working for them, there were no stipulations on when I would work, just that I would have all work back within 24 hours.

Since then, I have been told that they have a contractual obligation with the clinic I work on that all STATs will be done within two hours.  I have no contractual obligation with the company that I IC with on STATs at all -- when I have to have them back, any additional pay, stuff like that.  they are now telling me that I have to available during normal business hours **in case** a STAT comes in.

In your opinion, would you say that what they are asking me of me falls more in line with requirements they could make of an employee, or do you think they are within their rights to require me to be available during the day? 

Does anyone know a company that offers FT benefits based on achieving specified line count rather than having to work certain number of hours? In other words, if I can produce the # of lines required in less than an eight hour time frame, I have the option of quitting for the day.  

I completed an on-line application and test for TransTech two weeks ago. After a week had passed with no response from TT, I called and the recruiter said they couldn't locate my application or test but that they would call back.  After not hearing from them for a couple of days, I started calling at least every other day until two days ago.  At that time, I called again, and the receptionist talked to the recruiter while I was still on the line and said they had found my app. and test and would call back within the hour. However, I have yet to receive a return call.  I'm certified and have 26 years of acute care experience and feel I did well on the test, but maybe the competition is stiff and I should take this as a rejection and move on.  Has anybody else experienced similar circumstances applying to TT?  Suggestions as to how I can get a response one way or the other would be greatly appreciated!

They are wonderful people. QA leaves you alone. You simply get your hours in when you can. You have so many lines to do per week. Do them when you wish. You are supposed to get some time in over the weekend, which isn't hard when you're able to set your own schedule. Leaving them was a really tough decision. I wanted to stay on, but I have no benefits and nobody else to fall back on.

Work was plentiful for me. I do acute care, some ESLs. The ESLs weren't horrible, either.

Nice people. Low turnover with staff. Platform is okay. Minor negatives with every company, but they're one of the very best.

Looking for info from recent employees about platform, pay, benefits, incentives, time off, etc.  Searched archives and sounded pretty good.  Good/bad appreciated.  Thanks!
