Absolutely great INTELLIGENT post. Thanks! :-)
And the poster going on about starting schools and training of MTs, to ease transition. The poster needs to read up more as this is way old news. Its happening right now.
Target--no way here, either

I stopped shopping at Target years ago after I learned that they quit allowing the Salvation Army bell ringers in front of their MANY stores.  I may be a small consumer, but it's not just me (family as well), so each person makes a difference when it's all added up. 


Also, doing a little research on different companies can be well worth the time.  If/when I learn that the owner/board of directors, etc. supports abortions (can we say Planned Parenthood?), my conscience won't allow me to shop there.  And I've never even had children!


Excellent subject matter.


Thanks!


I think TT is right on target
Am I the only one who was there when the old COO was there?  Never ever ran out of work.  Called all the time and asked to pitch in and help get back in TAT.  When the new person, who shall remain nameless, came on board, things started downhill and continued downhill.  Might be interesting to check out her previous credentials.  In order to see where you are going it is usually helpful to see where you've been or I should say where the person in question has been.   That's been 5 or so years ago so I wonder how many MTs have been there back to those days when TT really was the best.  They have had low/no work for well over a year, more like 2 so I don't know why anyone would think it would get better.
It's okay, I shop at Target enough

to make up for you and probably 3 other people boycotting.


I did hear about the Salvation Army thing but honestly, I agreed with their stance on it. 


You're on target, but . . . . .

the problem is that India's educated population, which is about 20% of their total population equals almost the United States ENTIRE population.


India has over one billion people.  20% of that is 200 million.  The United States ENTIRE population is only 300 million.


So, yes, they're getting more expensive, but they have a much bigger non educated labor pool to pull from and educate.


Your character core is right on target.
Of course, we all know to worry when a company we work for starts employing people to spout this meaningless BS. Bast#rds.
MD-IT Intelligent?

I did a search but couldn't find anything about this company.  Anyone have any feedback?  Flexible schedule? Pay on time? etc.?


Thanks in advance.


MD-IT Intelligent...Anyone??
Does anyone have any information on this company as far as workload, pay, benefits, etc. I cannot seem to find anything and they have advertised in the past so I just wonder if anyone took a job and how it was going. Any information would be appreciated.
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Has anyone heard of them, worked for them or is working for them?  Need some information, please.
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Hi!  I have been a MT for 9 months now.  I really am not making very much money.  I am not averaging over minimum wage.  My company has no benefits either.  But I am grateful to have a job anyway.  I am taking the test for MD-IT Intelligent Transcription because they have benefits and seem like a nice company.  I am wanting some benefits and I would like to make a little more money but I know having only 9 months exp I can't be too picky.  I currently make .065 cents per line but a couple of months ago Carolina Medical Transcription sold out to Alphamed and when they happened I lost my good account I had doing clinic notes.  I think the acute care I am doing now is good experience but it is hard to make any money cause I am forever looking everything up because there is all kinds of reports.  Does anyone know a good company that would hire someone with 9 months exp that has benefits?  I know the speed will build up as I get used to acute care but I could use some benefits.
MD-IT Intelligent.. Would like some information
I am interested in applying to this company but was hoping to get more information as far as benefits, platforms,etc. TIA
MD-IT Intelligent Transcription
Anyone with recent info?  Please...I am tired of being jerked around by the company I am working for!
THANK GOD FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE...sm
Unfortunately they are very rare on this forum, but there are! THANKS!
Ok then - MTSOs need to get intelligent enough to figure out how to

accordingly --- instead of overhiring and making us EAT THE LOSS. 


The need to smarten up!  I could do the plan but I'm sitting out here in the boondocks and can't see what is coming.  But I certainly could plan a schedule of people to work according to how much work I had OBLIGATED MY COMPANY FOR from the hospital --- surely there was some sort of anticipated work load when the contract was drawn up.


We all know how many reports ON AVERAGE one Transcriptionist can do of a certain work type.


 


That's what any intelligent person WOULD do. I'd ignore the

Not baby with bathwater at all. She is an intelligent MT
They do double talk at MDI. But their supporters are probably favorites or mgmt. There are plenty of people who have been messed up by this company's revolving door and double talk. I am one of them and I see others on this board as well. If this poster is throwing any bathwater it is to clean the misrepresentation and expose the clean honest truth.
I would always hope that a responsible intelligent MT...
typed my medical records. However, why should an MT be the ONLY ONE to take the perpetual pay cuts and the increased reponsibilities that should belong to in-house employees...you know those people who get raises and good benefits...such as researching demographics, CCs, etc.

This business is really different than when I got into it almost 10 years ago. I really, really feel for the people who have been in it for longer and have few options for a career change.

Ideally, yes, every member of the team, from those running MTSOs to those in hospital administration, would have patient care uppermost in their minds...but you know without it being said it is all dollars and cents to them.
MTs are just collateral damage, and professional people should not have to take a pay cut for trying to be more professional than the other people on the TEAM.

I shudder at some of the reports that I see, too, but I cannot lay a guilt trip at the feet of MTs trying to make a living when the deck keeps perpetually getting stacked against them.

The last job I went into was exactly this way...if you have a foot pedal and knew speech recognition, you got the job because speech was new to them. Their tech support was also the human resources person, chief salesperson, and CEO, so when my footpedal did not work, I had to figure it out. My QA trial was 3 reports and then off. The office manager sent me the account specifics - updated in 2007, but I had no supervisor. I could e-mail her with questions, do not call please, and she would try to find an answer and e-mail me back. There is no weekend and evening coverage for anything...call Dictaphone if you absolutely cannot work. Otherwise, five blanks is acceptable to send to the client.

To me, these are the people who should be told to buck up, not the MTs. How can you possibly expect to have a quality MT if that is all the time and information you give them? Inferior MTs are being created by the industry and accepted by hospitals so they can pinch a penny.

To ask MTs to switch professions if they cannot cut it is ridiculous, because they will just be replaced by MTs who know less than they do or more work sent overseas because there truly aren't enough American MTs to do the work.


If the work force is so intelligent, why do they
themselves to be victims. Doesnt sound so intelligent to me.
Very intelligent response. If she was not working for Transcend, she would
not be their recruiter.
YOU "get over it", however, makes you sound quite intelligent!
how DO you come up with these amazing comebacks?

ROFL
MD-IT Intelligent- Any new information on this company i.e. pay, benefits etc.
TIA
Anyone work for MD-IT Intelligent out of Portland, Maine?
Just wondering what they were like to work for, decent money, platform, and benefits?? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
or Flexible, Competent, Educated and Intelligent.
Something these posts are making clear many TT employees are NOT.

How pathetic some of you are, stuck in the 20th century and won't budge.

Glad to see I'll have plenty of work this summer while you all fight over jobs with archaic MTSOs that haven't yet made the transition to VR.

Best of luck to you!
Any info about MD-IT Intelligent Transcriptions/Louisville Division?

Any information on this company is greatly appreciated.

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make.  I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me.   We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level.    Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination.  The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner.   Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter.  Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter. 
everytime you post, where ever you post
unless you go through an anonymizer, your IP address can be traced back to you, even through the guises of this web site.  There are web sites you can find on the internet to do this for you, or if you are 18 years old and like to hack, it's an easy enough thing to do.
I post a pay range, DOE; however, most don't post..
I wish some MTs would start thinking about the business aspect of the industry.  For example, this is a public site, so go to Google or another search engine and type [the co's name] and per line, and voila! now everyone knows how much you pay your MTs.
Post removed, you can re-post.

No, after I read a followup yesterday that said there were apologies and answered Michelle, I realized that and someone said to just get back to work and they were right.. even an apology was too much, plus it would look like I was just tagging along after JMO, which is what you are accusing me of now.

I just didn't understand where the posts went, it was odd, and I wanted to reiterate some things (the point I mentioned earlier, about seeing BOTH sides), but I see it really doesn't matter WHAT I say, you've already made up your mind about me and my motivations without even knowing me. Why am I explaining myself to you? I dunno.

It doesn't matter. Good luck to you and don't worry, God will take care of/deal with me, and I ask him to bless you all too.:)
