Not that I have experienced anyway. Platform is easy to use and extremely compatible with VR...it just gets better all the time. They are always adding new features and VR is learning more and getting easier every day.

WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! We turn down work because so many hospitals are sm
calling wanting a company that keeps work in the USA. The trend was stronger a few years ago before it all came to light about poor quality, the woman in Pakistan who threatened to post medical records on the web, 911, etc. There are hospitals who look for US-only and they are the MAJORITY not the minority. Definitely seeing the tide turn on offshore from an MTSO perspective, both MTs and customers!!!!!
CORNERSTONE NJ NO WAY
Cornerstone in NJ is the worst company to work for. She lies, lies, lies. She tells you there is work and as soon as you start making money, she pulls you off the account. She has done this to everyone I know who has ever worked for them. There are plenty of other companies to work for out there.

Whatever you do, do NOT work for them. I am not the only one, but Pam puts you on one account, then when you start making money, she takes you off and puts you on another account. She is a liar, shorts your hours and very nasty. She will start off as your best friend, but it is just an act. The owners won't listen, they say they trust her judgment. There is NO getting through to them. There are other companies out there. Good luck.
I am on Cornerstone
n/m
We will all be on Cornerstone
They are forcing this on all of us. Personally, i do not like this platform and find it hard to make a decent line count. I know my supe said that she loved this platform. However, if you are trying to make a living it is a different story.
Cornerstone
I think they added a couple of things but basically made it worse. They need to throw it in the scrap heap. You did the right thing by leaving.

Search the archives on here under Spheris and you will read plenty regarding Cornerstone, SR/VR, etc., etc.
IT and Cornerstone
Originally we were told we would have to convert our IT files to Shorthand, but by the time I was trained on Cornerstone they had decided to make IT compatible with it, which made the transition from the HITS platform to Cornerstone much easier. From the few minutes I spent looking at Shorthand, it did not look as easy to use as IT, but that may have been just because I was already very proficient at IT.

Is Cornerstone the same as Clarity?
I quit right before they were switching us from TWS to Clarity. Is this something new - did they scrap Clarity, rename it, or bring in something in addition to?
Spheris Cornerstone
I am leaving. I have never in my life been so terribly angry and stressed daily as I have become at Spheris. Cornerstone is a joke. SR? Lol! Tell me you can lock the cursor to that sound indicator and not stop every 2-3 words!! What a JOKE. I have had it.
so, Cornerstone is Spheris' SR ?

I don't have problems with Cornerstone
Lots of people complain about Cornerstone, but I really haven't found it to be slow or to be that big of a problem at all. The days I don't hit my personal goal for lines (2600), is generally due to lack of work, but not the platform. Lately there has been plenty of work most days and I've even gone over my goal some days. I keep trying to figure out why people are having problems with the platform. I have a lot of problems with the company as a whole, but the platform is the least of my worries.
They generally do come out with an update on the platform every 6 months, but those are generally good changes. It is a work in progress and I don't have a problem with them making updates that are beneficial.

Thanks
MDI-FL and Cornerstone Professional Services
Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services. I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them. Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.
Thank you.
Cornerstone Transcription - Wyoming??
Anyone have any info - good or bad - on this company. Did a search and only found the one in New Jersey.

Cornerstone Professional Services
Cornerstone Professional Services is a very bad company to work for. They lie and they have trouble keeping people. Find another company!!!!!
Cornerstone Professional Services

Spheris cornerstone sucks
Lots of people looking for other jobs now that Spheris is trying to lower pay and force VR on their MT's.

Spheris/Cornerstone CUE program/line discrepancy
I just started cornerstone last payperiod and there have been line discrepancies according to my mentor. I show I did 3,024 lines last week and she only showed 1597. When we had our weekly mentor call I showed her how you have to go to the next day to get all of the lines (i.e. 11/17/2007- 11/18/2007 to pull up the lines for 11/17/2007). She also said that CUE only showed that I was only for 18 hours which is a load!! I worked 40 hours. She said that everytime it pauses it adds that to the time. It pauses when I am spell checking. But none of that added up to such a discrepancy.
I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem. Or maybe I just needed to vent. I like the idea of having instant line counts but they are not even getting the same ones we are. I have to double check my paycheck this time just to see if they are paying me all of my lines. 
Any recent info about Cornerstone Professional Services of New Jersey??
Would love to hear some very RECENT information about this company, regarding staff, pay rate, workflow, ease of platform, etc. Only found old information in archives. If you don't want to share on the board, please email me. Thanks for your help.

SO WRONG
You are so wrong in your assumption! Although she is not with us anymore, the records need to be set straight. Shannon has over 10 years of medical transcription experience and typed on every account we have at MDI. You may have thought she didn't transcribe but that was because she was too busy typing on other accounts and doing the job she was hired to do which was to manage ALL of the accounts. So before you begin to drag Shannon into the line of fire, please do your research. She was hired to do a job which she did very well and she will be sorely missed.
Wrong, just someone who has to SM
work with people like you and is really tired of listening to the persecution complex. I'll bet you have the same problems with the job you have now, right?
Wrong again
Actually, it's y'all - for you all.
Ya'll is for you will.
The contraction divides the words.
WRONG!
Before you start cutting people down, why don't you do a little bit of research on your own? Flossie is not QA DIRECTOR. BS is QA Director. Flossie is QA MANAGER. There IS a difference. And she's a DAMN GOOD ONE at that!!!!
Wrong !!!
She is out of town.
Man, you are WAY out there -- WRONG.
If you're working for MQ, you're getting up to $50 a month DSL reimbursement, not $30.
YOU pay to update your computer??? How is that?
You'd be paying your electricity anyway, unless you live so frugally from the stoneage that you don't require electricity. If you're an SE, you can claim part of that on your tax filing -- if you have a designated room for an office. As well, you can claim any rental fees for equipment -- if you're an SE.
It's your job to make sure what you are typing is correct. Asking to be paid for researching what you are responsible for is as idiotic as saying you should be paid to run spellcheck. Geez.
Virtually every part of the demographic screen is filled in and they provide all the search tools for that. On occasion you MIGHT have to type a patient's name in. Get over your bad self.
If you want to be paid for actual time you spend regardless of how productive it is in lines, then you need a job with an hourly pay instead of production. That simply isn't how it is done. You don't like it? Get an hourly job. Don't like that? Get into a different line of work.
That is where you are wrong...
There are a lot of MTs employed at OSi, so where does this "me along with everyone else" come in to place. Oh, let me guess...you and all the other smart people? lol! too funny
Are you ever wrong about anything?
Opinions are always welcome...if they are not shoved down our throats. You make me choke.
What is wrong with you?
You obviously do not work for MQ and are very rude.
You are wrong
Nothing is paid for if you work out of Amherst MQ other than production time and PTO time. I was directly told that. No exceptions!
You are wrong.
I work for Diskriter and THEY DO pay for downtime. They have been more than fair with my pay. Do not post things that are not true, you are WRONG.
Wrong
I have worked as an Editor for a US company. I am not the owner of a MT company. I did an excellent job there and left because I chose to leave for a better opportunity. The US company where I worked had MT's call in sick daily, yet the HR person was constantly receiving emails from them about the possibility of a raise. They complained about not having enough work, yet when they were offered the opportunity to work on another account, they refused. I know that there are many quality US MT's who care about the level of quality of the work they produce. Yet there are many who are lazy and do not care about the quality of their work who constantly call in with excuses about why they can't work their shift. And US MT's (many of them) are constant job hoppers. MTSO's have a responsibility to provide their clients with a product. If they can't count on you to work your shift, you leave them with little choice.
My experience since working for a company who offshores has been totally opposite. These MT's are eager to work. They are meticulous about the quality of every report they produce. They are eager to improve their skills as an MT. They are all educated. It's amazing that they are able to produce work that rivals yours in quality and most often exceeds it when English is not their native language. You may not want to hear this, but the truth is the truth.
Don't take this the wrong way, but
I found more than 10 spelling and grammar errors in your post, and that didn't even take into consideration the punctuation errors. Granted, this isn't work so nitpicking isn't necessary. However, why should you make as much as the experienced transcriptionists who are doing the more difficult work without errors? I was at the second highest level at S. and was off QA in less than a week. I did ESL all day long and had three different accounts to learn in less than three weeks. I consistently produce 250 lines per hour on one of my accounts without an expander, 350-400 with the expander.
You tell us how fast and accurate you are, but you're not seeing the whole picture. You can either take on a more difficult account to get a higher line rate or start using an expander. Honestly, I wouldn't take on the more difficult account if it was my choice. You're better off typing faster and using the Expander on an easier account to make more money. Don't they offer an incentive plan for lines produced, too?
My bad. I was wrong.
nm
Wrong, wrong, and very wrong.
All three of the first points are incorrect, won't even go into the rest because they're subjective. Please contact a recruiter for accurate information.
Don't get me wrong...they are very...
nice people. Unfortunately neither the owner nor office people have any MT experience, and all MTs are expected to not need QA. For a newibe that can make it very difficult. Without feedback it's impossible to know if you make an error, and you'll never know what your blanks were. That makes it very difficult to improve when there are never answers . . .
I could be wrong, but
somewhere sometime I read they outsource work to India or they are an Indian company fronting in the US. I can't seem to find that info right now.
i think actually you are wrong about that
whuzup w/you?
oh, get over it. nothing wrong with it.
lol
