they are even offering bonuses to help get the work load into TAT. What account are you on and what center are you talking about?

Transtech has a huge oncology account
:)
Don't know for sure but it is HUGE - so they must have an oncology dept.
nm
Yes there is a major backlog on that account
nm
Not my C-phone account. Just got a backlog report
x
According to Allstate, they have a new account and have over 1500 jobs in backlog, is this not true?
What's the real scoop?
If it's the same oncology account that I believe was in
Chicago or thereabouts, run very quickly. They had a very hard time staffing that account and went so far as to take all the other accounts away from some MTs just so they would have to work on the oncology account. That's why I left. I was with them for a year and found them to be very MT unfriendly, although they say they have changed. But beware, Jan Clay (the recruiter) worked for many years at EDiX which is now Spheris, so that should tell you something.
Anybody know who has an oncology account ? sm
Need part-time flexible hours and a decent line rate - prefer to work over the net. I haven't been between jobs in a couple years now and here I am coming up short and before Christmas no less. I have 10 years experience. Any suggestions? It doesn't sound like there is a single decent company listed on these boards that anybody truly likes to work for.
For oncology or for any account?

Oncology Account
It uses Word-based AllScripts platform -- very easy to use. My favorite platform! You need Windows XP -- not Vista and a wav pedal. They start people between 8 and 9 cpl based on experience.
TransTech Oncology account
Plenty of work. Don't know about the other questions.
TransTech Oncology Account
Anyone out there work on the TT oncology account? I have been working on this new account and would like to hear from other transcriptionists regarding what they think of this account, software, able to get line counts, etc.
TIA
Landmark oncology account
Anyone out there work for Landmark on the oncology account? If so, how do you like this account? Are you able to get your line count? How is the company to work for? Pay on time? Thanks.
TransTech oncology ASR account
Looking for input from transcriptionists who work for TT on the big oncology ASR account. Would you please share how this account is insofar as getting your required line count. I have been working in hem/onc for over 7 years and having trouble finding regular transcription work in this field so I am thinking of going to ASR. Are you able to make enough money to live doing this account? Is it difficult to learn the Escription platform?
One more thing...does TT hire any PT (30 hours per week) workers or not? Flex schedule at all?
Thanks for your input.
Proscript -- Oncology VR account
Would like to hear from someone who works on Proscript's recently advertised oncology account doing VR transcription. Is there enough work, a lot of ESL dictators, pros and cons please. Thank you.
I currently work for GIMT oncology account
and love it. Platform is word based. Owner is a great lady, very flexible with schedule. The onc account that I have has excellent dictators. Very nice QA people, very consistent.
Anyone work on the oncology account at Transtech?
Saw ad and curious what the account and the company was like. Thanks. 
Question to any Transtech MTs on the oncology account...
I was wondering if the oncology account out of Texas was staying in work of if it was in a slump. I used to work on it and was looking at going back, if they are needing help, but was not sure if it was keeping work or not. I sure do miss it. You can email me privately. Thanks.
Agree about Oncology, not easy account . sm
to learn, especially the medications, about half of which are experimental and not on the FDA-approved marked yet - thus, limited lookup and references on them. I did Oncology FT for 3.5 years at the Q for MD Anderson and was quite a challenging account/specialty that had to be slowly learned.
How would we know that they lost a huge account? sm
They never communicate with their MTs.
Yes, they are hiring because they just got a HUGE account.
Ops and cardiology right now but all kinds of work. I am loving every second of it! :)
that's because Webmedx took over a huge account they used to have. nm
.
Transtech has a huge hem/onc account
.
They lost a huge account in Alabama
to work it. It was probably one of their biggest accounts and they didn't keep it long. Beware.
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?
They are up for a HUGE account in Chicago. I work for one of the hospitals sm
and would be offered a position to work with them if it happens. I am very worried now. The last hospital I worked for went with Medquist and we all lost our jobs. They did offer us jobs but not on the hospital we worked for. I went to this other one and now this :(
If you have not been on this account, you cannot know what she is talking about. sm
All accounts are different. The account is VERY difficult and it does take someone who is above average to stay on there and do well. I am not saying that there are not easier accounts or better accounts, just that this one is not all that bad once you are used to it. I have been on it for close to a year and produce over 15,000 lines a pay period, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. DQS is an awesome platform.
Not all MTSOs are bad. Just because they tell you that you are doing a good job does not meen they are telling you everything you want to hear. If they are saying that, they mean it, at least with Keystrokes.

Not just cardiology, other things. You might be talking about a different account
Perhaps it is a different server (there are 2 for regular 1 for rad), and that is why you are not getting the information. Why not just e mail your sup to ask to be trained on something else too. I did and that is the reason why I am working. They need to know if you are willing to learn new account specs, or go to another server, probably. But the new one I am working on I am getting fine reports.
I hope I don't get that account you're talking about either.
I am a little scared now.
I think this could only be done with a huge client base, or a huge number of say only
s
Are you looking at same backlog I am? sm
There are literally hundreds of jobs available now on a number of different accounts. What you need to do is discuss with your STM getting on some of these accounts.
At least you can see the backlog report
NM
You are SO right..the least backlog and emails fly. Overstaffed now for sure. nm
nm
Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
Did anyone else stop getting backlog emails?
Usually get an email from the account liason in the mornings plus backlog reports through the day and then suddenly I get no email at all from them. But I can still log on and work. I know they were changing the email system and I got the email last week sometime I think asking if they had the correct email address, and to let them know if not, but then I stopped getting emails!
Why is that Rah Rah? Don't you check the backlog page?
I get tired of ppl who shoot down every positive post when they are TRUE....
Discharge Summary Backlog
work. Did anyone apply for it?
...always a backlog by the client. If it ever gets cleaned up, you have no work for that day. This
s
For some of us, it can last all day. Just look at the Acct Backlog page, especially on the weekend.
Maybe we all have the same supervisor. Don't know. Can you have accounts that are under more than 1 STM?
The backlog page doesn't always show all the OT - sm
Beg to differ - my STM just send her daily update saying you could work extra on about 6 different accounts. I saw another STM this morning saying the same thing in her update. So sorry if I offended you.
One person's experience is not everyone else's. If you are limited to only radiology, no wonder you are out of work.
Low work?? Hmm - check backlog page - lots of OT offered right now. nm
Are you on the ChartMatrix side mebbe?
I'll check that our. I mostly stare in disbelief at the Acct Backlog Page.
Disgusting. I'm disgruntled, too. Just got an E-mail asking for help from some newbie on my secondary on which there are only a couple dozen jobs. My primary is out and my STM will not give me a 3rd. I had a 3rd, but we lost that hospital in June. Sick of it.
Oncology
Intellitype was looking specifically for oncology about a week or so ago.
Oncology
Yes, I know they were looking but I am leery of pursuing a job with a company I know nothing about. I have posted queries on both MT Stars and MTDaily about this company and have received no replies. I might just go ahead and take their test then see what comes of it though. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! Much appreciated.
Who is looking for oncology MTs? I have...sm
 20 years experience (teaching hosp), plus ortho and cardiology, and multispecialty clinic. No OB/GYN, tho. Anyone? TIA.
I will be doing oncology.....sm
but I know they were looking for Ortho MTs also.
ONCOLOGY
I was to be training on a new oncology account this week but I have decided to quit KS.
KS Oncology
I do know when KS did the mass hiring about a month ago for a new Oncology acct, I was hired. It was Allscripts platform and was a realllll dream, but the reports were so incredibly brief (4-6 lines)that there was no way I could make my line count unless I was glued to my chair and the voice file was not the greatest either. Needless to say, I stayed with my current company.
I did ask for a backup account and it was the same way as well, few lines per report.
I love Oncology and have been doing it for many years, but I am used to doing clinic consults, full office notes, etc.
4.5 and 5.5 for oncology i believe.
xx
I am an MT for Oncology and there
is no way I would type it for that amount of money. It is not an easy speciality. You get what you pay for.
Looking for oncology work.....sm
Looking for a part-time IC position that consists mainly of hematology/oncology work. No national companies please. If you have any leads, please leave your email and I will send a resume. Thanks!
