Assumed she meant to-do list... sm
...as the MTs (who actually do the MT work!) are usually at the bottom of The Suits' to-do list as far as acknowledging and/or rewarding and/or appreciating. :-)
Sorry, meant to put this on the MQ board. nm

Oops, sorry...I meant job board. nm
Sorry. Meant this for the main board.
By Ditto, I meant I once belonged to the board (sm )
to the board that charged a membership fee and it was like a ghost town -- not worth the money.
sorry, meant to post on main board....nm

How do you know list is true? I can make a list,

I meant nothing wrong. I meant a friend who can vouch for

It was not meant to be nasty. I meant that you should take every job seriously. Just because someo
is their focus does not mean that patients should suffer. 96% accuracy could mean the difference to someone who is on the receiving end of that report. I am NOT QA or management but I am an experienced Transcriptionist who believes that the reports we transcribe need to be accurate for the patient's sake.
That is not what I meant at all! Meant broaden to
Broaden to think leave to other profession if that is what is wanted, dont limit yourself to thinking only can leave to another MTSO. Geeesh.
MedQuisters, topics from the Company board are being moved to the MedQuist board. MQ posts on
the first page of the Company board will be removed to open up space for other companies to post. Enjoy the new Medquist board set up for you.
Thank you,
Administrator
Are you the same condescending person the word board? I thought this was called "Company Board.&#

Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?

Like the ones that want you to add them to an IM list so they can
see if you are online and keep track of you every minute of the day? Best cure for that is to keep your internet program on 24/7 and never answer one of their IMs
Don't want to list it here
it ain't much! Compound that with no work. 'outta there.
A wish list???
What kind of list? It's a cry for help to sift through some of the many transcription companies I have seen mentioned on-line. Most of the lists I have seen are either just all lumped together with essentially no information, or sometimes listed by states.
I was asking for the the names of the biggest companies as a sort of initial filter. However, as I stated, I AM wondering about the safety of going with a big company. I have been working for a medium size, local company with one huge account. They lost it and due to that and other factors, they have just decided to go out of business. I realize bigger isn't necessarily better.
Another issue for me is that I like to travel and think it would be nice to sometimes be able to pack a small amount of equipment, maybe just a laptop and foot pedal, and be able to work.
I know there are going to be conflicting opinions, but for me right now even that might be helpful. The company I was working for had good and bad points and I loved and hated it sometimes within the same day.
Great strengths it had that I would like to find again: At least competitive pay, benefits, and most of all - lots of flexibility. I basically only had to make a quota every two weeks and not even that was VERY strictly enforced. Other than that, I had almost total flexibility. I would certainly pass on making only a few more dollars in order to retain my flexibility.
So, it's a list of biggest companies, a list of suggested companies, and in a perfect world it would be a list of companies that meet all of my needs. For now, I'd just settle for any good suggestions.
Yes, I list everything.

list
That's really sad, because they are trying to stop from earning a living, thus driving more people into poverty......
My name better NOT be on such a list...
If I find this to be the case, my attorney will most certainly be contacted.
Here's a list for you
1. Better start-up information and training. The majority of companies I have worked with don't seem to understand how little training they actually provide. A few notes taken over the phone in a training session is not training! Think about all the jobs you have had on site - and compared that type of training to what you typically receive via cyberspace. Not even close right? If anything, training people remotely should equate to *more* training, not less. And, of course, I'm not referring to MT training, but account/platform specific training. Supply samples, hints, a list of problems encountered in the past and their solutions. You can't just fly through the steps of a complicated platform once and expect top notch production.
2. Feedback and updated account info. It's really disheartening to never hear from an account *until* you make a mistake. Positive feedback is as important as negative feedback.
3. Communication. Cannot be over-emphasized. I have worked with MTSO's who IM you to death (overkill) to those who apparently think new procedures are related via osmosis...
4. One of the biggest mistakes MTSO's make is getting more accounts then they can properly manage (and/or doing so with a skeleton crew to maximize profits).
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!
To the list
Don't forget about over-hiring! That annoys me so much!
My list
1. Pay me on time.
2. Pay me correctly.
3. Give me clear account specs.
4. Treat me with respect and don't talk down to me.
5. Give me feedback when I'm doing something wrong AND when I'm doing something right.
I would add these to your list...sm
Webmedx, Medscribe, Diskriter, Transcend, Transolutions. Not sure about your other questions though.
Good Luck!
add me to the list
I think we were on the same account and quit at the same time (in May of this year). Two days after I quit, I received an email that P was leaving the company. I too had heard that she lost a total of 4 employees that week. What a shame. The folks that sold Cymed should be ashamed - they had a good thing going and it just went down the tubes. I struggled to make my line count for months and finally had to give up and look elsewhere. Looking back, I should have left as soon as SPi took over. You would think that I would learn by now!
Add me to the list
I have 4-1/2 years there. Some of it has been a challenge but with our new president and some changes he's making, we're back on track. I make pretty good money on my account, and management has been particularly wonderful to me. Love it!
job list
Look in the manual under Logs. I'm having a meltdown over counting and converting for line counts. The account I'm on does not have a built in line counter. Hope yours does. My friend works on a different account and she doesn't have to do anything. Good luck!
Just a list
I think they have just listed hospitals within those states and they are not hospitals they have contracts with. I know for a fact that several Maryland hospitals as well as Wisconsin hospitals do not oursouce to them. It does lead one to believe, though, that they have contracts with them.
here's my list
Acusis: Best company ever. The people are very nice, pay always on time, work is great....a little low in the mornings right now, but always able to make my keystroke requirements.
Proscript: Another great company, with very nice people, good accounts, and pay is always on time.
InHealth: Another good company. Work was good, people nice, pay always on time.
Keystrokes: Not a good match for me. Was lied to about my pay, but I have a friend who works there that loves it. The account I was on was a good account, just didn't really care for the owner.
Preferred Transcriptions: The account I was on was great, but other accounts not so great. Pay is low, and the gal who runs the company could use some classes on how to be a littler nicer.
Right at the top of the list would be AMM...sm
Another Medical Must...horribly disorganized owner who uses primarily MTs from India and the Phillipines and wonders why she loses her accounts. Tells every MT a different story about what's going on with the company. Put this one on your don't even bother list.
Here's another for your list...
DataScript in Michigan - no pay and don't answer emails.
the list I got said 199 to 238 I think for sm
single coverage. I think there is a supplement for eye and dental which would make it more. Family coverage is more like the price you quoted.
still on list
Too bad you weren't still on the paycheck list. Would that be nice if they sent you that every two weeks just because you were still on the list?
And MQ is not on that list.
MedQuist cares so little about quality it isn't funny.
QA has now turned into MME (Master Medical Editor). Most of the work is being diverted to India now. The MME does QA work, editing and transcribing. More of the last two in what I have seen myself.
I have a feeling that India is doing most of the QA work now because it has cut back so drastically, at least for me. It is going somewhere, but I know it hasn't been coming to me. My guess would be India because they got all of the good clients now anyway.
I would stay far away from MQ. I honestly would.
Add to that list
ProScript. Great QA, always helpful and always friendly.
Add ANP to the list
stay far, far away from this company! They are no-pays!
Thank you so much for this list!!!
I was going to dig around for the thread that contained these names when I get off of work late tonight, and you've just saved me possibly hours of time.
I'm sure we all appreciate you posting this, so again, THANK YOU!!!
Not sure if they still do, but here is a list I put
Here is the list I put together earlier this year. I am not sure if these companies still provide computers or not. Some provide a computer with a rental fee, some provide a computer without any fee, and some say they have computers available if needed. Hope this helps.

Please add me to your list of emails!
I have not typed out my email address due to my email making it obvious of who I am to my current employer but would really appreciate it if you could click on my email link and send some information to me also!
Thank you for your help and your willingness to share information!
i doubt there is such a list,
at least that is all-inclusive, but you could make your own, starting with the job board.
Reposting keeps their name toward the top of the list.
/
A list should be made...here is one
Eskribe is owned by a Indian and all typing done in India.
And, you can also add Wal-Mart to your list
I think stores such as Wal-Mart, and there certainly are others, no doubt, that buy up the majority of their products from these other countries are putting our Americans out of work. I just shudder to think how different life is in this century compared to before we went to being such a huge importer of goods that we COULD be producing here in the US.
I'm an IC and I do list these things.
It seems to be easier that way. Then the company knows up front what I have and don't have. At the bottom of my resume I have a section called REFERENCE MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT and I list all pertinent info there.
