A friend of mine works for a hospital that has hired a director from one of the hospitals in
Pittsburgh and she wondered if he outsourced a lot of work or what he did when he goes into a new hospital. They have all at home employees now. I believe it was Allegheny Hospital.
Didn't you post this on 03/04/06 on both the Company Board and the Hospital/Clinic MT Board?
.
The "powers" that be watch this board so you will have a ton of TT MTs coming on here to say t
plenty of work, which will only make you feel worse like your being singled out, but I suspect this happy TT'ers are management. How else can you explain someone saying no work and then others saying how swamped they are. It happens all the time. Makes you wonder...
Did they say a new account is coming on board and they are training the

You, MTSO, should just stop coming to OUR board if you're (NM)

Well, I was happy for that overflow account coming on board
It is helping out some. No, I don't work on that account, but I did put in a full shift today.
In fact, the work is picking up on the account I work on as I had a total of 3 full shifts this week. Sure feels funny to work a full shift lately. 
sometimes you'll hear that there's a new account coming on board ...
sometimes that happens, sometimes it falls through ...
I'm not saying that they absolutely don't care ... but particularly if you are an independent contractor, it genuinely is not their problem.
Either way, the people who are willing to sit and wait for work will stay ... I've been one of them ... not ready to switch companies, need the lines to pay the bills.
I remember when, first of all, work was often backed up (and ALWAYS out of TAT -- the first 7 or so years I did MT) these were hospital accounts being done done by local companies who had history with each other ... The national bought out and underbid the smaller companies and one of their big selling points was TURNAROUND and they agreed to penalties into their contracts ... IMHO, many turnaround times I've heard of are silly -- ER reports and STAT H&Ps/Consults do affect patient care and could justify a 2-4 hour TAT -- most other work types could easily fit a 12-24 hour TAT with the option to flag as STAT.
It was great to be able to work any hour of any day -- now it's much more iffy and harder to make up lines if you have an unexpected down time. JMHO.
I'm coming on board wtih MDI/MD, have to have unlimited long distance, BUT...
my local telephone service offers that for $24.95/month. Since I'm coming from Medquist, I figured I'll be making that up almost entirely in one DAY!!!! and I had to pay my Internet for me anyway, I'm an addict with four domains of my own, LOL!
Don't know about turnover but new clients coming on board - GREAT company
Deb Garrison, I hope you're reading this board, because I'm coming at you with one hell of a l
I know that there are a lot of you out there who are owed money. Some of you are owed LOTS of money and Deb just spends it on herself. You'll likely NEVER get paid, but together you can all make sure she never runs an MTSO again. But, what needs to happen is ALL MTs screwed out of their paychecks must come together for this to actually happen. You all can email me at flagfootballcoach@gmail.com and we will pull together and bring down the hammer on this woman. She has had too many different businesses, taken people for their hard earned money, and needs to be shut down for good.
Just a minute here chickie. There is work at Webmedx and plenty more coming on board. SM
Maybe if you had more than one account to transcribe, you, too, would have work. Don't spread lies on this board please. It is not nice.
And the director of HR. nm
...
It's actually the QA director in disguise
It looks like the type of junk she types.
BMTS and DIRECTOR, anyone know who sm
these companies are? Posted on job board.
operations director
Call their nashville office and ask
sorry, I mean not the HR director, not department. A recruiter is usually under sm
the HR department, but is not the director unless it is a company that is so small there is only one person doing everything. If you did a chart, there would be the HR department headed by an HR director who is responsible for the administrative things in HR, not recruiting. Most directors really are not good recruiters. Most directors are also lacking in the people skills, but they are knowledgeable in all aspects of human resource law.
Sorry to say department above. I was thinking one way, typing another.
You talking about that goofy director they have?
Or how about the wonderful crab in QA?
Overflow work means you do not do full service work for the hospital. They send the company what they want to have transcribed, the company does not get all of the work. They do the overflow work for an HMO, several branches of it, but they do not do the full service work for them. They may have a nursing home or 2 that are full service, but that is about it.
Don't forget the corporate director of HR
He's a piece of work too, totally nuts!
One of those wacko posters was the Director of HR!
I know because he sent me nasty personal emails from a SoftScript email address with his signature block at the bottom. I sent them a resume. The next thing I know I get a not so nice email from the recruiter telling me I didn't pass their test and did not met their minimal requirements for employment. I questioned her as to how she could determine this without my testing. My resume clearly states almost 20 years of acute care MT experience with high QA scores consistently. She insisted I had tested with them and failed. I think I would have remembered taking the test.
I was blasted by the recruiter in an email. I was frustrated and I posted here about a ditzy recruiter at SoftScript. Well, this opened up a barrage of nasty, almost threatening emails from the Director of HR telling me I was just mad cause I was turned down, how bad my test was and my lacking skills, he knew I had been fired from all my jobs, what a wonderful MT the recruiter was, etc. I still have the emails if anyone cares to see what type of management professionals they have at SoftScript. Anyway, then the wacko came on here and started to do the same thing to ANYONE who said anything negative about the company, including another MT who had the same thing happen to her as me, turned down before she even tested. So to sum it up in a work PSYCHO!!
HR Department at Keystrokes is a director, a clerk/secretary sm
and a recruiter. The director is new but only does the legal stuff and is working on the benefits package, etc. The clerk is doing the paperwork. The recruiter is doing the recruiting, interviewing, checking references, passing hire info on. The pieces are in place now and you just validated what has just been put in place. I know there is talk of a second recruiter, one for radiology and one for medical records, but I think this is still in the baby stages. The HR Director heads the department but will not recruit.
Poor choice of wording - not management, new director.

Focus is advertising for "Senior Director of Recruitment"?!?!?!
What in the H-double hockey sticks is going on over there? The senior director of recruitment has to transcribe and format reports?
What kind of a circus have they got going on? They lay a bunch of people off and then post this bizarre position?
Run, run, run from focus as fast as you can...
The new Sr. Director of Recruitment is insinuating they are not an indian company...
by posting on another site that 90% of Focus' operations were onshore in the U.S. Totally false. And you are perpetuating the fallacy by saying there is change in the wind. The truth is there will never be change at Focus. It is an Indian based and run company!
our own Claudia Tessier in 2003...she is executive director of Mobile Health Care Alliance. check t
http://www.mohca.org/presentations/MoHCAintro0103.pdf
this is, in fact, doing away with medical transcription as we know it. rather than free text, there will be standardized text at point-of-service. even coders and billers will be replaced by the computers.
this is at the MOHCA site as well.
Diskriter off off offshores - and on some hospital accounts - they have not informed the hospital

Jewish is the main hospital, St. Mary's is another hospital under their management. (nm)

My Fellow MT's I need your help!
The small MTSO I work for is out of the Houston, Texas area, also the account I am on is in that area. As you know several cities have been devastated from hurricane Ike. I have been out of work since late Thursday, and a little work is trickling in this morning and yesterday, but not nearly enough. Anyone know of a company hiring PT to supplement my income. I really need something I can pick up fast. I work on the ExText platform presently, but also have worked on DocQscribe, and Bayscribe, along with proprietary software and Word. I have 30+ years experience and love operative reports, but can do everything acute care/clinic, all work types and ESL. I am really in a financial bind right now with the possibility of losing my home. Need a position that pays bi-weekly, can't afford to wait 1 month before getting paid. Dont' have health insurance as I have a 90-day wait, which will be December 1 before I am insured. I need to try and get a temporary insurance as am diabetic and have hypertension, but cannot afford it. Did manage to enroll in Walgreens health program, and get my meds cheaper than what I paid when I was ensured. I have tried applying with some positions I had tried over the years, but turned down for various reasons, but think I've been black listed. I guess you can say I'm sort of desperate now though. Thanks you guys. .
Thank you fellow MTs....
I am so glad to have people respond and will check into all of these companies. Thanks again! You are all very helpful and I appreciate it. 
See what I mean, fellow MTs? (see below)
And I think Bitemia's rage is just the very TIP OF THE ICEBERG. The rest is hidden just below the surface, and could end up sinking their ship. TT sure shudda' thought this one through a little better.
HEY FELLOW AMPHIONITES!
Was hired by Amphion two weeks ago, and even though I don't start for another week, was wondering how long until I get the computer, etc. Don't want to bother them, but am getting anxious....should I contact HR or just sit tight? Am REALLY excited about this opportunity!!! 
Fellow Transcender, I have had so
many problems with this platform. If you make just ONE mistake, it screws everything up and you can't get back. I did 3 reports in 3 hours today. Very frustrating.
Help your fellow MTs. Which company is this?
:+
TO ALL MY FELLOW HEARTLANDERS
find an employment attorney and do it ASAP.
That's all I am at liberty to say.
A fellow TT'er
Your need to repeatedly justify yourself is really doing more harm than good. We know your story and we know by now you LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your job, but these posts are really getting old. IMO you're repeated posting does nothing but turn off potential applicants.
maybe I will get an org. started just for my fellow MTs. nm

Except that I owe it to my fellow MTs to warn them off.

Fellow MDIer
I'm with you on this one. I have never worked for a company that had as much integrity as MDI.
Fellow Coworker
Hi,
I work on 2 accounts and 1 starts with E and the other with H and they are both on the Escription platform.
My fellow MDIers
I feel your pain. Yesterday I got exactly half of my lines. I can't feed my family this way. What to do, what to do? I totally love MDI but 50% of my lines doesn't pay a California mortage. I wish they would give us some timeline as to when the work will be normal again.
To fellow TT MTs - what do you make
of the fact that we're only allowed to work no more than 40 hours a week? I always used to work more than that, ever since I started full time with TT. Of course I never expected to be payed time and a half if it was my choice to work more than 40. Then all of the sudden strict 40 hours and no more. What do you all think is going on?
It's YOUR conscience, fellow MT
If you're cool with what you're doing, keep on keepin' on. *Shrug*
I'm not much of a gameplayer myself so perhaps that's where your 'logic' loses me.
Anyway, your justifications are now bordering on ridiculous and boring me out of my mind so I'm out of this thread.
Self-pity was NEVER an attractive quality to me.
My fellow MDIers
Is anyone else still sad about the demise of the MDI as we knew it? It seems to me that the last bastion of integrity and respect for MTs kind of fell apart. How do you all feel after these several weeks have passed?
Thanks fellow Webbies. nm
First for hospital, then outsourced still on same hospital work
and believe it or not, the hospital was so much easier. Had worked at the hospital for 11 years before they outsourced and then worked another 3+ years for the company they outsourced to. What a difference! The company had so many rules and regulations you could hardly keep up with them all, thousands of them, on the same account, mind you. The higher ups would not leave you alone, constant IMs about any and all. I have gotten to the age where I do not need all that and walked the other week. Have scheduled testing with another hospital for this month. Hope I make the cut, love the hospital work 1000 times more than a company.
Fellow St. Louis MT HELLooooooooo
Hey, I live in St Louis, too, and would love to chat with others in my area. If you are interested, please let know, and somehow I can send you my email.
I need answers from a fellow MT who will be honest

fellow QTers what did you think of the e-mail this
morning?
Not trying to be nasty to my fellow QT people, but maybe we should THINK that they just need us
to work hard and go above and beyond the call of duty just because it's the right thing to do in this case to get things back in order. That was an honest, heartfelt this morning....why don't we forget about what used to be for right now and just help out. I thnk we'll all be glad in the long run if we do.
Having fun, fellow Spheris-ites?
COMPLETELY out of work since 2:00P.M. on a weekday!!!! How are we supposed to pay our bills??? This is insane!!!
Thanks! We all appreciate the warm wishes from most of our fellow MTs. sm
I'm not sure, but I think Mary may have emailed Dateline. I hope so! I will definitely be contacting them for an inside investigation. It would be interesting to see how things are going over in India.
you're welcome, fellow coworker :) sm
I don't know if your ShortHand could back up and put an 's' on the end of the word preceding, but you can do that with TASpeed (used to be able to do that with Smartype, and that's what I missed the most about it until someone found that you could do that with TASpeed.) In TASpeed under Acronym, I use ss, then under Replacement type {bksp}s exactly that way, and then when you need to add an 's' to the preceding word, just type ss then space bar, and an 's' will automatically be added. Can also do that with 'ly' endings, 'ing' endings, etc. Hope this helps!
