Yes it is QA's job - and they send feedback daily
Posted By: oh boy on 2008-04-10
In Reply to: well then isn't that QA's job to send feedback so that doesn't continue to happen? - Ohio-KS-MTMom
Every day, hand typed, sent to the supervisor, who then passes it onto the MT.
Of course, many of the errors are seen time and time again because the MTs either:
A) don't read the feedback
B) don't care
C) both of the above

I absolutely REFUSE to send them feedback.
It takes way too long. I've done this in the past, and as you've also stated, nothing came of it. I won't give them anymore free time. Any time I have, I need to use for my job search.
well then isn't that QA's job to send feedback so that doesn't continue to happen?

Yes I send the feedback back to the MT with the website provided..
that way they can see how easy it was for them to do the research and they can fill in the blank themselves, rather than being lazy and having me do it for them...:)
Ditto! Also add that they ignore e-mails you send and send endless IMs!

Is do you do a daily log. I currently do, but
I know different accounts do things differently. The work is submitted to the client differently.
I don't know enough about the accounts to offer any help, but if she is already working then her lead should have provided this information.
Oh my GOD.... no wonder they have ads up daily. THANK YOU! NM

Emailing daily log........ sm
Do yourself a huge favor. If you don't have a scanner, buy one! I keep a handwritten log and at the end of the day I just scan it into an email. You certainly don't need another screen to contend with.
...rather than on a daily basis? Thanks.

Daily Work and TAT sm
I just started a new IC position last Monday. I had one day with some work last week (due to holiday) and yesterday there was nothing and today a 2 minute job. The company says they do not know when or who will dump the jobs. The TAT is 24 hours and work could be dumped any time of day. I report for work at about 7 a.m. Do you just sit around all day waiting for work? Should there be a cut-off time when it's too late to start? We do have lives too. What would you do? No other job expects you to wait around without being paid. I must be thick or something. Thanks for the input.
Daily Work and TAT............
It is probably just the holidays. Just hang in there. I have a very flexible schedule, so I know what you mean about waiting all day. I am home all day (homebody) and like the fact that I can check in, work when needed and get my house clean, take care of my kids and cook, etc in between time. I work for a GREAT MTSO and have never had an out of work situation until the holidays. It will pick up. :)
I have never seen this in the news, which I keep up on daily.

The Daily Transcription
Does anyone know anything about this company? I am going to be testing with them, but I just wanted some opinions first.
Thanks!
I saw the daily report
yesterday that said nothing was nefarious and that this is supposedly normal. I can tell you, I do not remember it being slow at this time of year either. Part of me wonders if like someone else had posted that some of the accounts are not starting to give their work to other vendors. Another part of me wonders if they are doing this to get people to quit so they can hire on people at lower rates. I mean it would stay in line with their value of money.
It is done on the computer daily
though intranet. They should give you instructions on how to do it after they have set you up in the system.
so why are they hiring on mt daily?? nm
nm
They want you to meet your daily
lines counts. I don't think that is asking for too much.
They used to have a job board ad almost daily
...now you never see anything from them. Wonder if they are losing accounts.
Daily changes make me . . .
want to commit myself to a psych hospital. Driving me crazy. Acid tongue supervisor makes everything worse.
whats the $$$ on that daily incentive?
How high does the daily incentive go? Please.
Thanks.

I used to get 2000+ daily with one hospital
oh my god that work rocked! It was 95% normals and work was plentiful. Imagine, ortho reports that were 2 pages long and all you had to do was type in your little Expander shortcut and poof there was the whole report whenever the dictator said Please use my _____ report. Ka-ching!
Ahhhh...the salad days. I remember them with such a sad fondness...it was the kind of thing that was just so good you just knew it wouldn't last.
Now I'm all bummed again. Where did I put that cheesecake....
Running out of work daily
We have started running out daily, a lot of the time when I sign on in the morning there is no work on my primary, maybe not even secondary. Our supervisor has asked many to switch shifts, to work the night shift and I know 10 or so have done so. It seems we were getting out of TAT in the evenings, so NOW it is over compensated and there is not much during the day, before noon, anyway. Used to work 8-10 hours OT every week, now that is down to 5-6 or less hours OT. I don't know what to do. I need my hours and some OT, too. Can't work nights.
What is their daily line count?
xx
can anyone tell me about sending daily report and how
you keep track of that? You can e-mail me if you'd rather. Just started and curious if you have to write down all your jobs at the end of shift of is there an easier way of sending this info?
MDI-MD, but you set the daily line count

what is their daily lines requirement
I use to work for Spheris which I loved I just got tired of working the Sa-Tu for two years and they would not change from schedule.
WHAT??? I talk to the office almost daily. sm
I lead a few accounts and have been training on a new one that starts in a few days. The phone number has not changed in 5 years and it should still forward from the old one. This site takes off phone numbers if we post them, so please email me.
Not only are they still in business, but still growing. I spoke with someone there today that said that they doubled in size last year and will this year too.
I am just excited about the new insurance!!!!!
i appreciate that and do count my blessings daily
I definately know I have a great situation job-wise. I'm also definately not one to groan and moan about life/job/bills, though I didn't really do that when I was making half of what I make now either. Sometimes I think a lot of success has to do with attitude. If I wasn't so nose to the grindstone and instead spent a good part of my time dwelling on the not so great parts of being an MT or about life in general, I definately could not be as successful or productive.
I realize that I may not be the norm, however do want everyone to know that it is possible. There are good companies out there and there are ways to make yourself successful and highly productive.
They are discussed almost daily. If you'll look through
past posts you'll get lots of info. They are in India with a storefront office in the US.
Transcend's out of work daily.
You might be able to get enough work if your hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. but there is no work in the morning and at night I watch 40 to 50 jobs disappear all at once and I have nothing left to do.
Editing daily line count
What is considered a good hourly line count for editing? I'm being asked this by a service....but our hospital pays by the hour and by report, not by lines. I'm trying to come up with a reasonable number. Thanks for your help!
Any companies with a daily line requirement of 800?
 I'm serious. Are there any companies IC or employee with a daily line requirement of around 800 or so? I seriously lose concentration after that but I love to transcribe. 
Can you share what the daily line requirements are?
and maybe the insurance rates? TIA
Posts about them almost daily. Read through past
posts. They offshore. Communication horrible.
World Wide Dictation has an ad on MT Daily
for insurance claims transcriptionists. I tried Googling them and found them to be in Ardsley, NY.
Almost daily something is posted about them. Lots of info in the
archives.
no, but the acct manager gets a daily print out
are on their system, whether or not you know they are doing it...they watch. Even if you exceed your line count in say, 4 hours, they will hound you for not being on the system for at least 6.

We enter our lines daily on the intranet SM
You don't enter the minutes that you type, just the lines for the day.
Plus some STMs (mgrs) do a daily update sm
via email regarding which accounts (company-wide) need OT or make-up time.
I've not had trouble making up my time, usually.
I'm about 300 lines short daily. I've had some
dictators that were absolutely horrendous and the my reports come back from QA with blanks too, but then I have some really good dictators. The changes are driving me crazy. I wish they could explain things one time in a way that the MTs could understand. I'm sure there are more changes to come, though they have had at least part of the account for a long time so I don't understand all the changes now.
Been discussed almost daily lately. Tons of stuff in
the archives. They overhire, running out of work common.
Mandatory Daily Line Counts..
Can someone tell me what the daily/weekly/per pay period mandatory line counts are for full time transcriptionists? (at the bigger medical transcription services, i.e., Transcend, Diskriter, MDI, etc.) Also, how much more does a CMT make these days? What about shift differentials and holiday pay? It seems only fair that if an MT works a major holiday, like Christmas or Thanksgiving, that they are fairly compensated, but for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if they are not.
Thanks a lot!
How much can you realistically expect to make daily doing SR?? NM

Daily mails waste too much time
Honestly, no, I don't care for that stuff. It's a waste of my time to get that type of thing and go through it. I'd like to spend my work time really working and earning money, not wading thru useless information I dont need.
SGS require 2400 daily lines?
Does anyone know if it is true that Superior Global Solutions out of Texas requires 2400 daily lines to qualify for full time and receive benefits? If so, is there enough work to actually make that many daily lines? Are they a good company to work for? Thanks in advance, all responses appreciated.

MT work losing money daily
With the no raise and line count these services pay, 1 report with a difficult ESL doctor who makes a lot of money can end up with the TX making 3/hr. Illegal aliens make more so hospitals seem to hire interpreters now at 50/hr or more and thick accented doctors seem to not care to learn English and the Transcriptionist leaves holes for Editor - if someone else feels like learning their language - be my guest, but I have to feed a family and make some money in this dying paid profession. If I received 50/hr or 12 cpl, I would try to decipher but for 4 years .0825 and I cannot. I am not an interpreter. Starting to hate my job lately. No money. I see illegals with cell phones, nice apartments and yet they won't learn English and I struggle working 14 hours a day or more just with maybe a little food. The job is not an easy one but the pay is less than picking fruit in a field.
Emails daily regarding TAT, order of work
it's usually first thing in morning; then the auto-generated emails regarding STATS. Otherwise, it's *no news is good news.*
It would seem strange to get no communication at all.
How many lines do you average daily on eScription?
Doesn't matter where you work, how many lines do you average daily on eScription?
