companies/platform question sm

Are there ANY companies out there that use the same platform for every account they have?  It seems that most MT companies out there are using whatever platform the hospital has so they can tap right into their system.

I know Medquist uses the same one (I am not working for Medquist, did that already) and to me it seems like that is the best way to do things.  Have every facility have the work done on your platform.  This business about MTs working for companies and every account uses a different platform is crazy.

Any opinions or answers to the question of what companies do NOT use a bunch of different platforms?

• companies/platform question sm - MT forever it seems
  • Hate blowing Acusis' horn, but - AcusisMT
    • Acusis platform, when it works right, is OK, but - VR program is awful!! NM
      • Platform (when it works) is oKAYYY, but I wish - it was about 200 percent faster. NM
    • Many companies other than "A" give computer - deals, and without lying to their MT's. NM
  • A lot of hospitals require the MTSO to use their platform. sm - MTSO

On Transcend platform you have to click, click, click all day and still get errors, change screens constantly -  its a nightmare to work in. 

and ran out of work constantly.  I have worked on several VR platforms and BeyondText is not the best, but it is not the worst either. 

Every company has good and bad.  Transcend was just not a good fit for me; however, it may be a good fit for you or the next person who comes along.

I love new technology and work on state-of-the-art platforms, the newer the better, so that typewriter theory of yours really does not jive here.

Every company has good and bad, it all depends on the individual MT and what that MT is looking for in a company. 

Good luck to you and if you choose Transcend, I hope it is a good fit for you! 

1.  How do they pay in comparison to other companies?

2.  Can you access reports typed by other people or review the patient's old reports in Bayscribe?

3.  Do they furnish PC and/or charge a fee?

Thanks

then they overstaff your account.  I used to get over 20,000 lines before they overstaffed mine and started playing favorites, with cherry picking taking place.  (And don't say it can't happen, because it can and does right before my eyes all the time.)  I've been struggling to make the minimum to keep my benefits. 

And then they try to tell you how you're going to be making such great money when you go to voice recognition, which is a JOKE for someone who typically transcribes 250-300 lines an hour.

To read this board and find that now the incentive program is discontinued for new employees (who are now hired at a higher rate and given instant PTO) while the rest of us who were hired before November 1 have to scramble to get a higher line count in order to make what the newbies are making and have to wait a year before earning one minute of PTO only provides yet another example of the inequitable way this company operates.

I'm tired of all the games, the insulting of my intelligence with the fiction they invent, and the terrible, terrible program. 

And to all the cheerleaders out there:  Write down all the good things you have to say now, save it in a file, put it on your calendar for 6 months from now and THEN let us all know how you're making out.

As for me, I've found another job.

they use and if they are employee only? Do you have to be full time? Thanks much!!
