Well it sounds like no work happens a lot at DSG. How are the accounts as far as decent accounts
and their QA.
I have 4 accounts, doing all work types, and I usually have enough work but this is the slow time of
year so we are scrambling a little for lines. Easy platform, paychecks DD, always on time.
Encompass- How are the accounts and work flow? Do you have a lot of work?
I need to keep busy. I cant sit here every day hoping for work so I'm looking elsewhere.
Lots of work here too. I cannot figure out which accounts have no work.
I'm on the Escription platform
Maybe it's the accounts your on. I work for MDI-FL and I'm swamped with work..
Sorry.. I had gone through a few days a while back of slower work, but lately especially since over the holidays, it has been crazy.. too much work..
I left for no work. There is work on some accounts, but NO
work on other accounts.
Do you work on VR accounts? NM
.
We have a lot of work, accounts out of TAT.
If anyone tells you different, it's just not true.
Yes. I was placed on 2 more accounts but still work is low.
nm
No work for them now on any of my accounts.
Its slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
I don't work for TT, but 7 accounts? Isn't that a bit
xx
I have THREE accounts and no work.
nm
There is a ton of work, some accounts have
more than others. I've been on OT pretty much every day the past 3 weeks. They've had several new accounts come on-line lately and I think they've had time to get the kinks worked out and see if they need to hire more and they do and are hiring.
They are very aware of the slow platform and are working on it, but working on it and giving us a time frame is 2 different things. I'm making about 2/3 of what I was at a previous company, as far as lines.
I absolutely hate the clocking in/out.
Benefits are good, but most of them you will never use - short/long-term disability, life insurance.
I think they have a good incentive program, but with the slow platform doubtful I'll get enough lines for anything over first tier if that. I do get shift differential because I work over 2 shifts.
I think they are a good company, there is good IT support and some STMs are great. I haven't had any issues with QA at all.
If they get the platform issues I'd be 99% satisfied.
My TT accounts have work
I work 2nd shift and have had plenty of work thus far. Had 1 slow night about 3 weeks ago.
Yes there is work. There are at least 2 accounts
that are on OT pretty much every day, but I asked to work on one of those accounts and was told that I could work on them as a secondary account.
I had 3 accounts. I still was only able to get about 15 hours in a week and that was trying to work 7 days a week and sitting in front of the computer for 12+ hours some days checking for work about every 5 minutes to see if I could get a report.
If you look on the backlog report you see an awful lot of 0 going down the page.
What?! I work rad accounts
I'm having a really hard time believing your post at all...but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and make the following suggestions:
1). Our supe is great - and she will work with you to help change your situation. Have you spoken to her about this? What was her response?
2). Are you only trained on 1 account? Supe has recently offered to train people on more accounts - have you taken her up on it? There are several accounts that have OT approved until further notice on the company backlogs page (they have been that way for a couple months now) - have you asked to train on them?
3). Are you willing to change your hours/days? I had a problem when I first started, but I was willing to change my days off and scheduled hours so that there would consistently be work for me. Its all about client needs and workflow.
4). You work a 12 hour window like the rest of us, right? So if you work 6am-6pm you have 12 hours a day to try to work; you could log out for an hour if you're out of work, go do something else, then come back in a while and try again. Do you only try to work the first 8 hours of that window?
5). On the few occasions I ran out of work when I was a newbie, the supe told me I could come in on my days off and make up the difference. Have you asked her about that?
I maybe can understand why you would have a problem THIS weekend - they offered us a bonus incentive of a $25 Walmart gift card for each OT hour worked (sounds like TAT issues and/or understaffing to me!!!). If a lot of people chose to take advantage of that during your shift, they might have taken most of your work, but when the work dried up, they would go away and the work would build back up. That happened to me a couple of times this weekend on my primary, but there was still plenty of work on my secondaries. BTW I work nights.
Feel free to email me privately regarding which accounts I work. Something is not right here, because I've been working all the OT I can handle, and I could at least tell you where and when that is. But really, talk to our Supe, she's not the kind of person to let you stay in this situation if she's made aware of it.
I never run out of work. Of course, I have at least 30 different accounts. nm
,
I work on accounts that all have to be sent to QA
very, very, very slow. I have to work an incredible amount of hours to meet my full time obligation. Sorry I accepted the position.
Yes there is work, my accounts are in OT! nm

Out of work again. 3 accounts. What's up? (sm)
I followed the thread about losing a big account yesterday, but this low work has been going on since the middle of May. The last I knew there were new big accounts coming on, don't know when, but can't be soon enough for me.
I am trying not to panic, but I had quit my PT job (I know - stupid) and this is my only income right now.
Have been doing MT for over 25 years and rolled with the ups and downs, but this is not a normal time of year for it to be this low for this long.
I love the company and hope to stick it out, so far I am able to flex around and get my lines in but I feel guilty knowing this is negatively impacting someone else.
I am thinking I better be looking for a part time gig to supplement. Good luck to us all.
Same here.. 4 accounts.. No work.
I too love MDI but love to eat and have a roof over my head too. Working 10+ hours a day now to get what I was able to get in 5-6. Am sitting at my computer like a little buzzard just grabbing whatever job comes along and they are few and far between.
No work on my accounts.
There are too many people on the account. For me, I feel it has become survival of the fittest,dog eat dog. I have to get work, before the other MTs get it. It is no way to work. I have been trying to work since 10 am, and so far have had 1 hour of work. I haven't had 40 hours since, actually I can't remember the last time I had 40 hours, before Christmas, I think. Completely on CMX side. I really don't even feel like I work for Webmedx.
They have taken on new accounts, but work is not plentiful, actually looking for a new job.
Not happy with the company.
Not here. You get your work types and accounts first.

I work on escription accounts.
pay 4/9 for 60-90 days, can't remember which, then 4/10. Very nice to work for. I've been there since Octoberish.
None of our accounts have the work loaded into q's for anyone. sm
I don't mind hearing that someone is not a good fit with Keystrokes or does not like the account they have been given (they can't all be great). The addresses mean that you were on an ortho account. The ONLY reason someone does not like Keystrokes ortho is that the person in charge of ortho is very committed to both high quality and TAT. She keeps a QA score card on every MT under her, keeps a log of missed deadlines and lets people go if they cannot stay up to snuff. There is nothing wrong with that; I wish I could be more like her.
I think there are good companies and bad companies out there and have said many, many times that every company is not a good fit for every MT. If that were the case, there would be no job openings and no one looking for a job. However, the bad companies are the ones that do not pay, rip off the MTs in terms of false line counts, lose accounts all the time and allow cherry-picking. None of that applies to Keystrokes.
It sounds like you were not happy and I feel bad for you as KS is a great place to work!
not all accounts are pooled work...
nm
What work will be left? N-D getting new accounts?
x
Are all of TransTech's accounts out of work?
NM
lots of work, on all 3 of my accounts, always will.
nm
if we have our own accounts we do not have a supervisor, we do all the work.
nm
I agree and I don't think I can run out of work, not with 4 accounts I don't! nmn
nm
Don't work for DeVenture but when our accounts are
low my company does not kick us out, but the facility does so there is enough work for their inhouse people. This is common.
I only work on 2 accounts...can't speak for the others.
And I work Enterprise accounts
So this whole thing is just really strange.
I run out of work everyday and I have 3 accounts.
I
I was told there are no more accounts I can work on
and am getting sporadic work. I LOVE this company too, and they pay for down time which is incredible, but the work comes trickling in so I cannot claim no work, but it is just enough to keep me going.
St. Louis has LOTS of work on most all accounts
x
And they are pushing for year end for all accounts to be on DQS so they can get more work on ASR,
more work overseas and then begin to push EMR. This is the beginning of MQ not needing MTs like they did and that is why they now eliminated SE because everyhing is in place. That is the game plan.
I'd like to know the bad platform and which accounts run out of work. I'm supposed to have bac
accounts to work on...Please email me.. I cant afford to work on the Mojave Desert LOL
Always ran out of work despite giving you lots of accounts. nm
nm
Not enough work and covering a dozen accounts
x
C-phone accounts have tons of work
but you have to have unlimited long distance
I work strictly through internet; they have some accounts
that you work off phone lines but not many. If offered a position, state you only want internet work and nothing to do with phone lines.
Yes, they have several ER accounts...the one I work on doesn't have any ESLs (sm)
but I'm sure some of them may have an ESL here or there. I started there in September after being with Medquist for 8 years. So far, so good. They have been very accommodating and the office staff couldn't be nicer. Good luck!
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!
Vista will not work with Keystrokes accounts
They say right in their ads what operating systems they are compatible with, and they are not compatible with Vista yet. I asked this when I was first hired 6 months ago because I was going to put Vista on my work computer before I started, and they clearly stated that Vista will not work with any of their accounts yet, so I stuck to XP. You were not fired. Your system simply will not work on their accounts. All that you need to do is get a copy of XP somewhere and install that over Vista and you will be all set.
Rapid growth. The accounts I work on
slowed down slightly for Labor Day, but now more work than we can handle, with request to work on new accounts that just started. I could work 7/24 if my body would cooperate.
Have 4 accounts and no work. SR doesn't pay enough. Like the company, but..
X
KS people who work on accounts with lag time (sm)
I have been having the phone line go dead and sometimes I can call right back and get my report and sometimes I lose it. I have had my cable people out here several days in a row, and they can find nothing wrong. I was wondering if this happens to others - and maybe it is a problem with the hospital line we use - not actually the line in my home. I appreciate any input. (I am new on this account so do not have enough history to know.)
Lots of work on radiology accounts
And whew, are my hands tired....but I made 5th tier the first week and the top bonus tier this week,
