Dictators who don't know what a Chief Complaint is. (sm)
Here are some chief complaints: Chest pain. Shortness of breath. Back pain. Type that and now you have some context and you're ready for the history of present illness. But so many dictators want to include all sorts of patient information, like age and details of what happened. That is not a chief complaint guys. Comprehend the headings and let them help you save time! Grrrr.
It felt more like a secretary.
I lasted only a month. I felt more like a secretary than an MT. The amount of demos and information that had to be searched before you begin transcribing was unreal. QA also picked everything to death.
Tell me about it. A doc I see, his front desk secretary's (sm)
duties include: answering the phone, which barely rings, and surfing the net. That's the easiest $14.00 per hour job I've seen. We're busting our butts for pennies and she's doing practically nothing. Are we insane? What is it with us? Why do we allow ourselves to accept these insulting ridiculously low wages?
I had one similar, no MT experience but was a legal secretary
she demanded testing so I finally said okay come to the office and take the test. She was there the entire day and typed about 4 pages! When I called her to tell her she failed (really bad I might add) she told me that was impossible. I emailed her the corrected test and never heard from her again. THEN! Apparently another recruiter at the company I worked for later hired her, I saw her name on the list of MTs and I nearly fainted... lol
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.
Need some cheese to go with that baloney?
What a transparent inside post!
Where is it defined what this board is for?
You say it is for comments on companies which is a broad definition but certainly includes the scope of commenting on poor BUSINESS practices -
And IF there WAS only one disgruntled (perhaps actually WRONGED?) employee, then that person's comment(s) would not have been able to snowball.
The company in question should have, a long time ago, attempted to address the complaints against them, you know maybe a BEER summit (hey it worked for those not paying attention)! Instead they appear to have escalated the situation and now it may spiral out of control.
I SAY BOTH SIDES TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND CALL A BEER (OR WINE) SUMMITT.
The ONLY PARTIES WHO WILL WIN HERE are the lawyers!!!
Would you like some cheese with that whine?
:P
Handing OP a slice of cheese.
i
Y'all want some cheese with that whine?
nm
well, swish cheese is wrong. Maybe you just did not do well enough. nm

Oh yeah - cheese and wine! Crackers too?

She is talking about reports that are sent to QA looking like swiss cheese...
some MTs just think the QA gals will fix it for them and don't care what happens to the report or what kind of mistakes they have made...that is what the above poster is talking about...of course we are paid to fill in blanks and be a second set of ears but not to do incompetent MTs jobs for them...I am QA and MT so I understand both sides...if you are not an incompetent MT you should not take offense to this posting...
need a clue!
Wanting to know what company is considered one of the "better" places to work for? I have been offered a few positions, but after looking at the posts here, its kinda scary! Thanks much!
I don't have a clue.
:)
Does anyone have a clue (those of you that
work for Amphion) why people are cheerleaders for them? They are not that great - the pay is only so-so and the people are not THAT nice. just wondering.
Not a clue....
I have worked for Cymed for a year now. I never received the notice about not receiving a full check. That's all new to me. I have never ever had a problem with payroll, so I have no idea what that whole thing is about. I work out of the Virginia office, so maybe it's different. I have no idea.
you have no clue
If so, have not a clue on this can you
send me an email. I did not want to call a name or a company. I would really appreciate it. Thanks! If this is the 1, I will definitely let you know.
Does anyone have a clue?
Hi all!
I tried searching the archives, but I could not find much. Anyone have any info on this company based out of Porterville, CA? 
TIA!
Well sorry I have no clue about
pay per line cuz I have done this for 10 years being paid per hour so I have no clue honey
Get a clue....
There are no rules here that one must use a moniker... get over it! It's offensive to say something is retarded. Grow up!
Amen to that - and they don't have a clue. nm

Sorry - I guess I have no clue what
I was working on before, I was told it was DEP, but obviously not.
WHEN are companies going to get a clue sm
MTs are the BACKBONE of ALL MT companies. We literally generate every single dime that goes into a company. IT guys don't generate income. QAs don't generate income. The team leaders don't generate income. The fat cats at the top don't generate income. WE DO AND WE ARE THE ONLY ONES!!!
If companies want to make more money, they should not outsource or offshore. They don't need to go to VR either where the equipment is expensive to buy and maintain and you still have to have an MT to edit that crap. No, what they need to look at it how to maximize their MTs. You ask them up front what they can do, what they want to do and where they see their career going. If the company thinks they can make the most of what the MT wants, then go out and keep finding more accounts to make the MTs happy. They will work to build user friendly platforms that are all Word shells, not wonky excuses for a word processing program. They will offer benefits AND IC contracts. They will get QAs out of there who lack people skills and MT skills. They will encourage Expander training and use so that those who mistakenly think that autocorrect is an expander will have the opportunity to make more money for the same amount of time spent.
In short, they will understand that our work pays everyone's salary, so keep us happy and treat us like the skilled professionals we ARE and not like typists or typing machines.
ewww just gets on my last nerve.
Thank you, thank you for that much appreciated clue.
we're talking about a perfectly dreadful typing congomeration. Am I right?
I'm in CA, Fatcat...No clue where you are
But lunch without sitting at the computer waiting for work to trickle in sounds FABULOUS!!!
You all have no clue what you are talking about - sm
I work for Deb and Aces UP, 2 years plus now. The client does this to save money, they are billed at a lower rate then if we straght type a report, kind of like what many of you do with VR. The doctor brings forward the previous report the patient had (we don't have to pull it, but if we have to go get it because they were too lazy to get it then we are paid it as straight typing and a new report), then they dictate a new Interval History, changes to the ROS, PE, Labs, Assessement and plan. Leaving in everything else previously dictated unless told to remove it which is rare. I can do a 5 minute dictation in 10 minutes, then yes, I get paid for the whole report.....not just what I typed, yes it is a lower rate than had I typed a whole report from scratch, but I only typed a portion of it, maybe 25% if that. So on a good day I can churn out 6 brought forward reports an hour, over 600 lines easy and get paid for all 600. If you have the dicipline to sit and not get distracted it can be very good. Also on the plus side no demographics to enter, report types, etc. It is all done, all you do it pull up report, the voice file loads, copy and paste the previous report into your MSWord, type the report, copy and paste it back into the platform, easy. No BS. 24-hour TAT, no set hours, just do your work in that 24-TAT and everyone is happy. I am quite happy there. I have 7 doctors I work on, no pool work with 300+ different dictator, so thumb your nose at that. Plenty of straight typing as well. I really only have 1 doctor that does the brought forwards, my other 6 are straight typing. Also plenty of work, too much sometimes but I'd rather have feast than famine.
No the hospitals would not have a clue
how could the hospitals know why MTs abandoned their jobs?
Do you have any contact with hospitals now?
Take a more practical and rational approach- beat the MTSOs at their own game. I am NOT anti-MTSO, I am just saying if you really feel abused by these companies - BE THEIR COMPETITION!
Just as there are "oldies" who don't have a clue.
The experienced MTs at my company are the same ones that cherrypick and won't do ESLs (not sure if just lazy or can't do them). They also make a ton of errors on their reports. One of them consistently spells medications wrong, even after warnings from our AM. Some don't bother looking up referring physicians to double check the spelling (again, don't know if laziness or they don't know how to Google). Yet, these MTs make 1 cpl more than I do because of their experience level. I may not be perfect, but I do take pride in my work and produce approximately 2000 lines a day with at least 99% accuracy, even as a newbie. I also do a majority of the ESLs since everyone else just skips over them. I have been told by 3 different account managers that I have a knack for ESLs and understanding accents. I was also pre-med in college and have an extensive background in the medical field, so I am very familiar with terminology, pharmacology, procedures, etc. Yet, I am just a newbie, so I get paid less.
Maybe rates shouldn't be based on the time on the job, but on actual skill level. If you are bringing in more money for the company and are doing harder work types (or more ESLs) than others, maybe you should be paid more than the other MTs who don't make such a contribution. Of course, that is jsut dreaming.
I believe the poster's moniker is a clue. ;)
Webmedx?
I have no clue but that MTSO was probably just jerking you around.
I do hiring and there is no such list to my knowledge. I know I know others that do hiring for other companies and we never talk about candidates at all. No names are ever mentioned and there is no such list. Besides, a candidate that might not fit one company might be a good one for another.
This black list is bull.
oh boy.. no clue where the rest of my post is.. sm
maybe I'll have time to rewrte it then... hmmm
No clue. That's the info they gave me. sm
They are in Farmington, NM. Cannot find a web site for them or anything with the BBB.
their slow response should be a clue as to how they run their business.
I know.
have no clue, but based on their pay @ .04 editing and .08 for transcribing (saw on a job ad), I wou

If they use the hospital's system, the choice is not theirs. Get a clue. nm

I hope so because I have no clue what this post is talking about!

and also, tech people don't have a clue what they are doing when u ask them a question
All they want to do is come into our computer because they know absolutely NOTHING about what they are doing. It is dread each and every contact made with the tech people at TT. Time-consuming training by the MT for the tech people who are salaried and not being paid by the line. J____ was absolutely EXCELLENT and HELPFUL. Another sad  situation when he left. Tech not been the same help since then.
No clue, all I was told is it's a huge new account.
If it's west coast, that's scary, I do west coast accounts now for another company and they're all horrible. This one I'm supposed to be doing is on Enterprise platform?
I got the chapstick too. I honestly have no clue why they bothered sending anything.
nm
C'mon, give us a clue. Where is this, how did you find it, IC or employee? nm

I guess our clue is supposed to be when we run out of work all the time?
nm
I want to clarify something... i have no clue what they are planning in the upcoming days... and it
nm
I disagree. I don't blame them for wanting to clue some people in. (sm)
Some people obviously have a lot to learn about applying for a job. They covered such things when I went to business college in the 1980s, but I remember when I was a secretary in an office, seeing the IC Transcriptionist come into the office wearing outfits I would never be seen in public in, let alone a professional office I was getting a paycheck from.
Any clue who the company is hiring the Newbies/nonNewbies sm
on the job seekers board?
Word global should be clue. Perhaps their main office is
nm
You obviously haven't a clue what you are talking about. TT has NOT lost any accounts. TT is NO
having financial troubles. Dictaphone does NOT control the money or the accounts. I would strongly suggest you refrain from posting that erroneous information here or face the consequences.
And your post shows that you have absolutely no clue of what it takes to train a new MT!

It was a test for a company and I have no clue if you had to download drivers. I would not care to
do that to take a test.
