You don't take into account an increased
productivity. I know you don't know what it will be yet, but it will at least go up some from what it is now. Probably initially there will be a loss of income as you learn the platform, but as long as there is enough work there is the potential for you to increase your lines.
Don't forget that the increased prices from this will
You have to think hard before shooting yourself in the foot! Can you really afford the injury?!
Doctors know EXACTLY what is going on. So do government officials - we all do.
WE are part of the problem - wanting lower priced healthcare, low priced insurance but not want to care one hoot about our health -- making gluttons of ourselves, not exercising, smoking, diabetes, heart disease, all the other crap people do to themselves (not to mention things that cannot be avoided). We don't want to pay so they find ways to lower cost and make it more affordable to ALL of us.
It will hurt us more in the long run by raising costs of healthcare and insurance to the point no one can afford it except the wealthy. Don't start with the line that only the wealthy can afford insurance and care now. Bull. It's a matter of priority...perhaps people can do without the brand new car or the satellite dish or all the video games, etc., and spend a little on insurance protection, etc.
It's NOT just offshoring. It is ALL of us. Every single one of us contribute to this picture one way or another.

They must be advertising increased referral bonuses again.
If it was the same one, it was because they increased work. Our op note accounts have been set for
I know because I am on the HIM Department management team, not just making general comments.
I talk to a lot of MTs who like Meditech, so I am going to disagree on that one but let's just agree to disagree. It is definitely a preference thing.
There are over 50 HIM accounts and more coming. HIM is catching up to Radiology fast at Keystrokes and it does not appear to have an end to the growth in sight. I am glad to be part of the excitement!
I quit my job when they increased our production rate...
by 10%, from 10 minutes of dictation equals one hour of work to 11 minutes of dictation equals one hour of work. Radiology went from 12 reports equals an hour of work to 16 reports equals an hour of work, a whopping 33% increase. The medical increase was not all that bad, I guess, but the senior Transcriptionist had a bad habit of assigning work to me by physician, what I would call programmed cherry-picking, and it goes without saying that the ones she assigned to me were the ones she wanted to avoid. Eight hours of work usually averaged about 1000 lines and I earned $14.69/hour or $30K annually. They had given us an 8% market increase based on prevailing local wages in July of 2006, because they wanted to be the preferred employer in the area, then in October of 2007 increased the production rate for medical by 10% and radiology by 33%. We went from being underpaid to underworked in the course of 15 months.
I started at 8 cpl, was increased to 9 cpl in 3 months and 9.5 in a year. nm

not to me, same skill req. look at the paycut.& increased lines
Need to get out your calculator. Ask what is their production minimum and time to accomplish before being let go.
2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour --listening/editing/fixing
at 4.5/ln
$90 a day
divide 8 hours is= $11.25hr.
10,000 lines a week=$450.
