The solution center's memo of an upgrade to the system SM
Posted By: OP on 2007-09-20
In Reply to: I sure didn't get that from mine - do you work on Radnet by chance? sm - Queenie
in the next couple of weeks (not on company computer right now so don't remember exact date) includes release notes that says the issue of the platform freezing will be corrected. I hope this fixes some of my own problems.

Memo specifically said upgrade would address the platform freezing up.
xx
I'd still contact the solution center
I got the email from my STM this week as well (bet we have the same one!), but I have not been experiencing any problems. It is still very possible that the reason you are having so many difficulties is something to do with your router (if you have one) or ISP. I know how frustrating it is when the platform keeps freezing up on you. I was having so much trouble until I changed the settings on my router and now it is smooth sailing. Definitely contact the Solution Center and see what they can do to help you. There's no reason to suffer through it if there is a fix out there.

No solution is Precyse Solution
So sorry about what you had to go through. I truly feel for you. As good as we are, no one should stand for their crap. I certainly didn't. I could not get rid of their equipment fast enough. The day I quit is the day I boxed up their computer, called Fed-Ex and had it sent back, and then I got a new job the next day!
Yes, I do. Was this upgrade something that I would (sm)
have seen happening on my screen? Because if so, I didn't see anything unusual anytime. I'm really confused now.
LP VBC Memo - sm
I'm not sure why she (LM) bothers to send these out or even to come here and defend herself or her company. You people are dense, denser than old glass doorknobs.
She clearly explains what a VBC is and also states that LP is not using this method of counting. However, she has an opportunity to bid on an account that is requesting VBC and she was also looking for some feedback from any of her ICs who may already be using this method. She explains that there is an 18% difference in counting totals.
She is explaining that this is the new industry wave so to speak and we should all be aware so we can plan accordingly or have a better understanding, kind of like when we went from gross to 65 character method or even switching from WP to Word.
Ya know, LP and LM are not perfect. I've worked there on an off for the last 15 years, but come on she was not dropping a huge bomb on anyone, cutting pay rates, etc. She was actually trying to be helfpul and informative as well as gather some information for future use. I'm sure she garnered useful information - some of her ICs are challenged in reading comprehension.
Upgrade equipment
Upgrading your equipment, I cant make enough money to pay for upgrading the equipment! I have been sitting here all day, since 7:30 this morning, trying to get a decent line count and Im still only at around 500 lines..hardly any work all day..just about the worst I have ever seen it. If and when I decide to move on, Im gonna have to go with a company that supplies the equipment. Right now, this pay check I probably will just about be able to pay my bills and I need new tires! LOL! Well, I will be sitting here tonight till about midnight, hopefully some work will build up in the system.
what the heck is there to upgrade anyway on a DD?

Well, this is a significant upgrade from SM
previous--Keystrokes will definitely now be on my list for possible employers. I think you've really opened yourselves to a much larger talent pool with the improvement!
I think you need to read your memo again.
The very first thing it says is, Offshore editors are paid $8 per hour and it goes on to describe the new pay structure for us US editors/reviewers exactly. So, that tells me that we are getting the same wage as them. I am not sure how you got that all turned around.
Maybe a mistake was made and this memo was not supposed to go out to us US employees describing India wages. BUT, now the cat is out of the bag!! 
When was there an Ex-Text upgrade??

Got that memo, did not say anything about account
I know about the e mail asking if people were interested in speech editing, but it did not say what account. If the one says that account is having glitches, and you were interested, I would ask my supervisor if I were you to see the progress. Those of us who were not interested have not heard any further or what accounts are on that speech track. Perhaps some tests or things we don't transcribe are going Speech. I am sure if the account were going totally speech they would have let us know by now. If you talk to your sup and get an answer, please let us know. Tx.
Spheris upgrade?
I have been down for the past 2 days due to computer problems. I was wondering if anybody else has been down. Also, I doubt I will get any down time.
No memo. You'll only know for sure if
you are on the team that gets a new account. One did start in the middle of July but runs as dry as all the rest of their accounts. You'll only notice on the Community Page if you know all the accounts and see something new. They don't care if you have no work. The TAT is to their advantage.
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Does anyone work for LP and get this VBC memo today? If so, can someone please explain to me what it means? I already asked the owner and she said REREAD THE MEMO. I don't know if she wants us to take a pay cut or to add an account.......TIA!!!!!!!!!
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Thanks :(( It was not making sense to me....
Lee Perfect VBC memo
Thanks for the support! Feeling better for it!!!!!!
Lee Perfect VBC memo
The owner wrote to me with this message ..... there is no paycut. No new accounts., If you do not care to know about VBC ok, in the future many transcription services will be using it. Not ours.
Lee Perfect VBC memo
I am the mentally challenged old glass doorknob! lol
No one can feel worse about it than me but I needed some clarification. I wish I could have understood what she wanted to say but I did not...there were others who did not either...I was not bashing her or the company. I love my job there BUT I needed help understanding the memo. Thank you for the info. It was clear as a bell.
You read the memo wrong
The memo read pay for reviewing of offshore work will be paid at..... It does not mean that we are paid the same as those offshore. My pay has not changed since this went into effect. We were all offered the option to transcribe if we did not like the base rate plus incentive. I for one do like it, but if you do not, why do you not transcribe instead of review? It is an option that was offered. Just a suggestion that may work better for you.
I think the accidental memo proves a whole of it goes

Windows XP - do you have to do the Microscoft upgrade? (sm)
I've heard it's flawed and am afraid to do the time change upgrade. Will it show that all the reports I do are an hour ahead? I work on Ex-Text.
Transtech did ExText upgrade on 6/6/07.
When we logged onto the system ExText did an automatic upgrade on that day. You must work for Transtech?
It is the companies that do not want to pay to upgrade to get compatible with it. nm

You say word 2003 upgrade. Is this
I didn't have to upgrade because I had it already but if its the same company I think the QA person can use a class in learning how to deal with people without rudeness.
It almost looks like a memo she got and didn't make it into an ad.
I was also wondering about that $7000, is that per month, per pay period, maybe per year? 
an upgrade? mean newer version?
This should not be an end of the year thingee seems to me. I would ask what exactly an upgrade means. No reason not to ask for the facts. Does it mean an upgraded version of MedRite or upgrade to a newer type platform or just what does it mean.

Nice people, but they need a major upgrade.
:(
It was slow before this last upgrade. Tech support is sm
wonderful as well. I don't find it slow.
Stinks, doesn't it? Seems like everytime they do an upgrade sm
the lines get tougher to get.
Nevermind, I should have read the whole memo about update. Duh... nm
.
so then why did she send the memo?? sounds strange to me. nm
.
The memo is 7 am to midnight. So for third shift no coverage on pager.
And for the weekend, no paging really unless their system is down, not ours. Actually, that's less stressful because if we are down we just e mail and forget about it. Of course downtime would help that is paid downtime.
This e mail does not bug me. But, I do have to say I have become increasingly depressed over this job lately and I am not usually this way. I have a feeling I am not alone in my depressed feeling, I just wish I knew why I felt this way. Things looked so good 2 weeks ago... I agree with the aarrg above. Double arrgg for me to.
What "new center"?
nm
The Transcription Center
Has anyone worked for this co. in Texas that could comment?
Supposedly new upgrade for WordClient is compatible with Vista, per our mgmt.
We are about to do an upgrade, and they say it will be compatible with Vista with this new upgrade of WordClient. Yipeeee
Try Kimball Medical Center
Doctor's Medical Center
I searched this board and couldn't find any specific info on this company. Does anyone work for them? Know anything positive or negative about them? Know about their pay scale?
A local surgery center
I was referred to them through someone else. They have had trouble keeping a transcriptionist. Now I know why.
CMC (Carolinas Medical Center)
is located in Charlotte, NC. I know, because I used to work there. They have bought A LOT of the hospitals in North Carolina. It is a VERY large corporation. Good company to work for.
No, we got a small Valentine's gift that looks like a paper weight/ memo holder??

Anyone here for for University of Kansas Medical Center? Please let me know. Thanks.
I work at home for a national now and I'm wondering if KU outsources or does in-house and about their benefits. Not a newbie, have 11 years experience in acute care. Rock chalk!
I just read on their website under Employment Center (sm)
that they are hiring. I know they had a job listing posted on here a week or so ago for experienced Docuscribe MT's. I work on Meditech there but would kill to get back on Docuscribe again! I loved it...
Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia is hiring - nm

I see that Cheyenne Regional Medical Center is hiring.
"Training" is on location but after training, there will be multiple excuses as to why you can't go home to work. Supervisor is NEVER there. Pay is not TOO bad, but working in-house is horrible. Just thought I would throw my opinion in and try to save the next poor soul who falls for their "promises".
Another example of the "bizarreness" is when I worked for our regional medical center
Nicholas who was clearly of Indian descent kept faxing and calling the transcription department of our hospital wanted to submit a bid to do our transcription. The manager politely declined but he continued to call EVERY day..I guess to see if she'd wear down. She then faxed them an official stop contacting us letter but it continued. Finally, she had the hospital's attorney send them a final notice in regards to legal action and they called after that. Honestly, at that point, I came home so I dont what ever become of it. I know it blew our minds. It must be a cultural thing.
