Send in a resume/letter to the head of HR and the MR Dept asking if there are any openings and if the use an outside service would they please pass on your resume to them as you are very interested in working for the hospital.  Wouldn't hurt.  Better than a phone call and they can see on paper what qualifications you have and perhaps sign you on as an employee, IC or something.  

detailing how disgusted you are with the fact that they are promoting offshore training and offshoring transcription.  This is the third article on this sort of topic that the magazine has done in a year. 

I find this particularly offensive because so many hospitals/medical record departments get the magazine and if they see this, then companies like Spheris, CBay, Healthscribe, and others will be getting called to come do their transcription!

So please, don't cancel your subscription, just voice your opinion and comments.  Thank you.

I figure it would be rude and/or against the MT Stars TOS for me to use the name of this person or reprint verbatim her emails here on the site, so I will just say this to you ...  you can stop emailing me now. 

I am not going to agree with you that I should be "thankful" for the employer who wants to break our contract and who treats me with disrespect.  I disagree with you that she is my "boss" any more than my hair colorist should view me as her "boss".  My colorist has a talent and I pay her to perform a service for me.  That doesn't make me her "boss", nor can I call her up and demand that she stop making dinner for her family and meet me at the salon to do my highlights.  LOL! 

I do not agree with you that those of us on this board are all a bunch of whiners.  I do not agree with you that my children would be better off being raised in daycare.  My son -- now in fourth grade -- went off to school just fine having been to preschool 2 days a week for 3 hours a day rather than all day every day.  Sorry, but there was no crying and wailing on his first day of school.  You didn't have to put your kids in daycare to prepare them for school.  That's something people say to make themselves feel better about their daycare decision.  If that is the choice you or anyone else made, fine.  It doesn't affect me or my family and it's none of my business.  However, don't give me the "my kids were prepared for school and kids of work-at-home moms like you cry all day at school because they aren't prepared" garbage.  That's what it is, garbage.  Children don't need eight hours a day five days a week of "preparation" for school that is longer than the school day itself.  That's why they have preschool, a couple hours a couple of days a week.  If you chose to put your children in daycare, be proud of or at least confident in your choice without having to make excuses for it. 

And another thing, I HAVE been "in the workforce", as I am sure a lot of these other ladies who work at home have been as well.  I am CHOOSING to do MT so that I CAN be at home raising my children myself.  And, in fact, I am IN the workforce.  I am my own boss.  I have my own business.  I work from home.  I have a contract, and I expect those who sign it to abide by it.  I expect professionalism.  If I were flipping burgers for minimum wage, I might expect to tolerate some behavior like that exhibited by my MTSO.  I am a professional.  I expect my contract to be honored and to be treated professionally.  You don't have to agree with me on that, but you are not going to change my mind about it, either.   

You are the only one who has sided with my MTSO in this.  I am sure my MTSO would love to have you.  However, I'd really like you to stop emailing me now.  If you are proud of your stance on this, post it here for everyone to see, but please leave my inbox alone.

I had read someone's complaints about complaining yesterday, while browing the board.  I got an email from one of my girlfriends just now, telling me she had been called in for receiving too many emails and given a 90 day verbal warning.  I used to work for a company that told me I made too many personal phone calls and worried I was not dressed professionally enough.  I used to have to pick up the CEO's cleaning and make sure all the buttons were on his shirts and there were no wrinkles.  Filling him a pitcher of water on his desk and leaving no fingerprints on a glass to go with it.  Let's remember that, today, as we sit in our sweats, being comfortable, or if the phone rings and we visit for 10 minutes, or if we get a cute email and want to send it to friends.  No boss towering over us......at least in our home. 

their hospital clients are watching.  When there is no pool of MTs to get anymore when MQ has destroyed the competition and driven what is left of MTs to other sources of employment, well-------------------------maybe there won't be hospitals any more, who knows.  The way our country is going I guess we will have to be treating ourselves from over the internet, LOL. 

But, back to being serious, I see more and more hospitals advertising for MTs to work for their own individual institutions, and not using transcription companies. 

 I hope the pendulum is swinging back to hospitals having more control of their records. 

 Otherwise HOSPITALS are in for a big surprise.   Wasting Mi$$ions on MQ's and Philips "voice recognition" gadgetry is throwing good money after bad.  The "suits" have complicated creating a medical record so much, it's literally a joke. 

 But that's what big business does isn't it?  Get "suits" into a situation and have them try to make it a "profit making venture" out of it  - and pretty soon the whole job gets lost in the hubbub and all you have left is confusion and dollars flying around, and the product is an unattainable goal. 

Oh wait, but you will have a NEW COMPUTER SYSTEM that is supposed to do everything but wash dishes, and the suit will walk away with another of your $23million dollars.     

I noticed the last time I read stats from MQ on how many MTs they have it was (drum roll here)............10,000.  Remember when they crowed they had 13,000?

Was this "Frank's" plan when he took over?        Or are we all jumping ship because they are an intolerable place to get a pay check? You do the work and even then they want to renig on paying you for what you did.      NOW THAT's REAL CLASS, not. 

I have faxed documents through the computer at a couple of jobs I've worked in the past; however, I have no idea how this is set up.  I am planning to buy a fax machine, but I was wondering if it would cheaper and/or easier to do by computer.  Plus this would eliminate another piece of equipment on my desk.  Thanks for any advice. 

I was using WinFax PRO through the computer for faxing many files rather than the old print and put through a fax machine.  BUT this program seems to be hanging up all the time, not faxing, etc.

Does anyone know of another program like this...where you just click on files and fax through the computer?

THANX FOR ANY HELP

I am starting to fax reports to various places for my account. Some of these will include multiple pages to the same place and some will be only one page. Can anyone tell me what the going rates are for this service?  Thanks!

Does anyone have a recommended site they use for online faxing?

Several jobs I worked in the past allowed the capability to send a fax through the computer without using a fax machine.  However, I have no idea that program was set up but would really like something similar at home.  I can't figure out where to start.  Anyone know anything about this?

Thanks.

i have always refusing the faxing of reports to offices..  i believe this is illegal if the MD signature is not on the paper.  if you are a "contractor" for this office, you are not covered in way, shape or form legally under any insurance policy but your own.  I would refuse the faxing of reports.

I have an account that asks that I  not use subcontractors but for vacation it is okay and I know if I had a two week illness or something they would be okay with it but for everday use, they don't want anyone but me.  But again, I only work with verbal contracts and I know that means I could be let go at any time but so could they.  I have asked my accounts every year for the past seven to ten years if they want a contract and they say no need for it.  So we just keep on plugging along with each other.
