Oh, I'm not gonig out of business. I'm finding plenty of hungry MT's to fill my slots...
just a general comment on the trend in MT, which some people continue to be in denial about.
Here is the reason that rad job is hard to fill...
Pay is by the report. As I am training, the woman training me states that I will be doing a lot of diagnostic studies, that the reason is they are dictated during those hours. So, I just imagined myself typing huge reports for a buck and a quarter with no benefits and figured she was warning me before I got in too deep. If that is the account which is in the Houston area.
Now, I guess I am glad it happened since the word lay offs sends us all into a state of panic and anxiety equivalent to fight or flight and is an exhausting state especially while trying to produce perfect work.
yeah, seems it is hard to fill 2nd shift. nm

I think they will hire PT if it is a hard to fill time slot. I would talk
to them and see. They go both by hours worked and lines transcribed since you are employee status. The insurance is First Health and the coverage is great. We had Aetna prior to this and First Health offers better coverage for less money. Vacation accrues immediately but you cant' take it for the first 90 days. I think you get 11 days the first year and it increases every year after that. I think the max is either 21 or 26 days per year.
Hope that helps.
TransTech is in Texas -yes they are flexible, as far as (sm)
choosing your hours, but they would like you to be on when you say you are going to be unless you notify them. I have not had any problems at all. I've had to leave several times and I just let them know. They have an ad on the job board with their email address. They need a lot of people.
Flexible schedule at Transtech? sm
How flexible is the scheduling at Transtech? I'm interested in the weekend position but would need lots of flexibility...Thanks!
Hi LT, how are the slots doing?
Did you say SLOTS?
Did you say SLOTS?
XXX
If you think LT is playing slots, you don't know her at all. sm
Now go crawl back in your hole. Obviously you have nothing better to do than spout lies. At least we all get a laugh.
Not a nut. Happen to know someone likes slots.
A LOT. Too much. Keep slaving away for her, it's going into every slot machine in the country.
How flexible is flexible? A window of time? nm
.
Can you fill me in, too?
I have done acute care for 17+ years. thanks
Those are big shoes to fill
I guess you've never worked on the inside of an MTSO business, but you wouldn't believe how physicians and hospitals are chipping away at our pay by demanding lower rates from the MTSOs. Some MTSOs that people on this site complain about offering offshored services to client did it to KEEP from losing their clients. When it starts with the doctors and hospitals, what choice do the MTSOs have but to pass that on to the MTs? It really is a vicious circle.
Some MTSOs team up with schools and offer interships where an MT in training works for free for a period of time to gain experience. Now trust me, THOSE savings are not passed on to the experienced MTs...that goes directly into the MTSO's pockets and those MTSO push their long-term, higher paid MTs out the door to save a few pennies with no trouble sleeping at night.
So what about a union? You're right. More jobs will be offshored. More experienced MTs will lose their jobs. Doesn't anyone remember what happened when the air traffic controllers went on strike and the president of our United States canned every single one of them and airports had to hire an entirely new staff of controllers? Did you see airlines stop flying passengers? Nope. Managers worked triple shifts until restaffing occurred, oh, without extra pay since they were salarired.
I don't pretend to know the answers as to how an MTSO should run its business but honest communication, good benefits and wages that have been lost in just a few short years (less than 10) would be nice. It should stick to its gun and promote keeping jobs in the states for the patients' sakes. And for the Indian physicians who have organized and created their own MTSO's to keep their families in India employed should be boycotted. MTs should educate anyone they know who uses a doctor to ask the physician where his/her transcription is done or if s/he even knows and use only physicians with American-based transcription.
Boycotts worked in South Carlolinia and other states to take down the Rebel flag. Why can't we have a similar affect? Mostly because we are not organized (I did NOT say unionized) and we do not generate the media coverage necessary to affect change.

Had to fill all of it in when I left.

demographic fill-ins
Top-of-the-line platforms will fill in demogrpahic screen automatically (if docs enter right numbers in the first place), and it's wonderful. Other platforms will fill in partially, and on the ancient and/or practically obsolete ones, the MT has to fill in everything. Also, most of us don't get paid to fill out our production sheets, etc., either. When I worked in-house at 2 hospitals, we did get credit for time away from keyboard, like answering phone, filling in time cards, in-service education, etc.; they had a formula for it and it was pretty fair compensation. Buth, that was then . . .
agree. you could also fill that cup the other way
and say bad credit implies one will work harder to keep afloat.
Also agree about checking a company's credit - HOW MANY TIMES have we heard 'they don't pay'? Is that not what gets reported? and relevant here?
If you didn't have to fill out
a 6-page application, you are lucky. I remember it being very tedious to fill out multiple applications, clicking off which specialties I had done, not being absolutely clear if they meant cardiology within a hospital setting or if they actually wanted to know if I had CLINIC cardiology experience, etc.
Working at home can make lots of people cranky. That's why MTs tend to have a reputation for being difficult. Or maybe a glycerin suppository and some MiraLax would help, LOL.
Yes they hire from outside and need to fill
QA doesn't always pay the bills.
You must have been on an old platform. That's my point - we don't have to fill in anything on
Its all computerized. You hit a search button, and then accept. That's not even 1 keystroke! Same thing with doctor searches, etc. You can run searches at a click by first name, last name, specialty - you name it. It takes seconds to find a doctor and then you just click "accept", and it fills in for you in the body of the report! Its great! I tried other companies lately, and its so antiquated. Back to paper lists and shuffling thru pages and pages of name, manually entering or correcting demos - Yuck. Five minutes til you get into even the first line of report! No thanks!
I just have to fill in patient's name and everything else is automated and
even filling in the patient's name is made easy, I just type it and enter and it goes where it needs to do and then I type. The work is batched so I just keep typing until I have 10 -12 pages and then send, again all automated and then start another batch.
I worked for YOG for a short time years ago and they had so many demographics it took at least 5 minutes to fill them in, had to constantly look up stuff on the lists to find correct info and never got the same doctors twice to be able to learn doctor's information so you didn't have to keep looking it up.
My server has never been down, except during hurricanes last year, so no down time. A couple of times the hospital's server has been down and I've been able to get my lines, though had to take a break during my regular shift and work a little longer in the evening. Never went a day with NO work. System never locks up.
You fill in a time sheet
but why dread it? attitude is 60% of the challenge (or more). You might just like it better, i do.
oh wait, let me fill in the blanks:
you must be a bitter person to hate your job so much
there's no way VR will be able to do all the accents
once they go to India, they will be back for American quality
our jobs will never go away...
there. I already put them in there so no one has to run their long posts saying the same thing that is always said...
Does the demographics fill in on your account or do you ....
have to type them in? I had an account that filled in and it was not too bad. The account I have now must be searched out from the patient name to the type of document. Really sucks because it is so terrilby time consuming. Get a ESL saying the name and you can be looking at several minutes just to locate it.
I don't think any of them do, but some of them require VERY little time to fill in.
.
NO demos to fill and a lot better than .0835!!!
I have great benefits, no demographics to fill in (unless error and maybe a MR# and name), and make in the double digits for my line count rate. Any MT with a lot of years acute care experience that settles for less than 0.09 or 0.095 is crazy. These jobs are out there.
I worked for Amphion a couple of years ago and I only stayed about 2 months due to the demographic issues.
Good Luck to all!!
Do you still have to fill out a timesheet with the keystrokes
s
Can anyone fill me in on what type of work Amphion has?
Is it a lot of ESL, and if so how bad/good are the accounts they have?
Yeah, and do you have to fill out a bunch of demographics
and garbage without being paid for typing it all when it takes longer than typing the actual report?
Care to fill us in on the contents so we can hope for the best? nm

You fill out a schedule a month at a time..sm
and you can change it at anytime. You are not required to work weekends. The work is pooled, they use ExText. They are wonderful!
How long does it usually take to get started once you fill out paperwork for MDI-FL? sm.
I filled out my paperwork about a week ago and have not heard from anyone. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to start with MDI-FL? Or has anyone had any problems hearing back from there once they said You are hired?
Almost no demographics to fill in on my account. Sound
quality could be better though. Platform is very easy, everyone is very nice, pay is better than most, IC position 10 cpl/11 cpl weekends. Small company that is growing. They DON'T offshore.
On my Amphion acct I had to fill in demographics
I lasted a few months because it was a losing battle. I had to quit when my husband was out of work after a MVA. Its okay to supplement income if you are happy with minimum wage.
Just to fill you in, I applied with Keystrokes over a month
a position in which I am making between $17 and $18 an hour and am VERY VERY happy so I really do not need any of the BS offered by Keystrokes. I just wanted to ensure that everyone is aware of what games they play. I hope you continue to enjoy being employed there.
How do you cite sources but not fill in blanks?!
NM
How do we fill out the forms requested via email when we don't
have printers suppled by TT with their computers. Help, pls
Well, if she meant she doesn't want to fill in ANY blanks...
then she's gonna have trouble finding what she considers a decent QA job!
I received a questionairre to fill out and sent it back to them. I never heard anything after that.
I emailed in hopes of checking to see if they received my information, but never heard anything. May not be meant to be for me
You fill out a time sheet. If you need to make a change sm
to your schedule, you just email them. They seem pretty flexible about everything.
Hope this helps.
it means they have a lot of data field fill-in; nonproductive wrk
nm
How many companies do not require you to fill out a time clock? NM
Thanks.
Does DQS track your time for payroll, or do we fill in our own timesheet on-line? nm
nm
How is editing for them? 100% listen, fill in blanks, lots of feedback
p
you fill out a manual report and email to payroll at end of pay period.

Support bad, wouldnt repond, lots of stuff to fill in not
s
The recruiters (pleural) test and fill applicants based on (sm)
what accounts have needs and whether your skills and shifts requested fit those account needs.
Also, perhaps another recruiter filled the position they originally thought was open.
I do know there are some new accounts coming on soon and I hope many of the more qualified applicants are tested and ready to jump on board with us when they do.
It is a good place to work and worth waiting for an appropriate opening.
Also, call the recruiter and ask more questions if you want. They certainly won't bite.
How flexible are they? sm
How flexible are they with scheduling. If something comes up in the middle of a shift or you need to make an appointment during that time, can you come on before or stay after your shift if you let them know ahead of time? What if you are 15 minutes late, do you have to call in or just work an extra 15 minutes over? TIA
Flexible
I know they require a schedule but is there any flexibility in that schedule, such as a window of time within your scheduled hours?
Not any more, but they are flexible.
a
They are very flexible
I have been there for 5 months, and they have been more than flexible with me. If I ever need time off, I can just make it up on another day so as not to lose any lines, and they have absolutely no problems with that. There is life insurance and supplemental insurance through Aflac.
