At Spheris, if the work was running low
Posted By: Busy MT"ing on 2005-12-27
In Reply to: When you have no work - is there usually an email from company?
I would get an email from my supervisor stating such and telling us we could flex our time or use PTO. She was very much in communication with us at all times.
I personally think that the best communication between employer/supervisor and MT would be an email stating the workload is low, asking if you want to flex your time or use PTO and when do you want to make up your time so they can staff accordingly. Would be nice, huh?! :)

I have been switched accounts 3 times now, because mine keep running dry. Promises, promises.
Not running out of work
Actually there seems to be tons of work on the account I am on, but I just can't get my line count up. I know I am doing quality work, just not quantity, and would rather quit than be fired! It seems like for the first hour everything is great then every report I get is a different dictator. Just can't get the hang of their Ex-Text system fast enough either. At my other job, which is online based through FTP, I did about 300 lines/hour during my shift last night, so I am really not THAT slow :)
I did e-mail my resignation this morning but still have not heard back...At this point, I don't even want to finish in 2 weeks, Just want to be done wasting everyone's time.
Not running out of work.
The department is not running out of work at all. I am trained on a few other accounts as well with varying difficulty.
I will keep you updated. I'm sure if I am fired, I will be coming on here to vent, but hopefully that is never the case. I really like my job :)
5 accounts and running out of work
What's wrong is not on your end.
What's wrong is each of those 5 accounts having 17 people on each of them who have to switch back forth and maintain productivity.
Production and TAT improve if the MT is on one acount long enough to get a rhythm going.
There is also the problem of recognizing doctor's names. If 4 different doctors are mentioned in your report and you are on 5 different hospitals....well, you know where I'm going with this one.....
anyone running low on work at MQ today
Keep running out of work. I think they overhired.

Anyone out there running low on work at Solutab Transcription?
ughhh
Ok, the deal with running out of work isn't because of mandatory OT, it's
It's the big thing that a bunch of companies are jumping on. Shameful.
Is anyone else having problems running out of work at Wordzxpressed besides me?
Spellcheck! I would NEVER turn in work without running it - sm
The benefit is it will catch things you don't. As for it underlining the words, just leave them and run the spell check, it is probably faster to do it that way (at least for me it is), and running it does not take more than 20 seconds generally unless you have a really long report. The few times I have had to re-do or paste in someone's report into mine for an addendum I have run into non-spellchecked reports, plain and simple they were not good.
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

The worst problem with MQ is running people out of work all the time.
:
Will all the big nationals running us out of work and lower our wages what suggestion does anyone
have. This situation is getting extremely serious for people that need to make a living. What a shame.
Lets try this again. With all the big nationals running us out or work and lowering our wages what
do you suggest.
Work for Spheris, I pay for DSL, even though

I have NEVER ran out of work at Spheris.
I've worked for Spheris for a little over a year, first on a large clinic and now on acute care, and I have never ran out of work. Occasionally, I have to go to one of my secondary accounts, but there has never been no work available at all for me.
I work for Spheris too and I appreciate SM
your honestly. I too have had a fairly good experience, (with the exception of horrible health insurance), but I don't know if I would tell another MT to join up. There is too much commotion there now. They are in a hurry to change over to SR; perhaps too quickly. I'm also curious if the whole India thing is working out quite the way they anticipated. No MT company can work efficiently with so many new MT's.
Is this Spheris? I have work, but I don't know how much SM
longer. I believe my account is going totally global. I believe the entire company is going global.
I work for Spheris, but look at it as a day to day, week to week thing. I don't know how much longer it will remain in US to ANY extent.
You must work for Spheris, right? nm

so what u tellin us we work for SPHERIS?
I couldn't see MQ holding onto transcription. I'm gonna be sick.
No, you are not free to work for Spheris and MQ and

I work for Spheris, and I'm very happy there. sm
Good accounts, steady work (not counting the holiday slow-downs that all companies go thru), good support, and great people. I'm very happy there and would recommend them to anyone.
I work for spheris...cannot load
OP.
Not a slam, but don't you work for Spheris

hospital work going to spheris
We too are in the same situation.. got the announcement, very minimal information, very general.. and now nothing.. we are supposed to transition in July next year.. I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst.. we have a lot of American speaking doctors, heard they like to send those to India, very nervous.. whole hospital system network going to spheris.. I am sure there are many more of us, on the edge, waiting....
I work part time for Spheris...(sm)
They will hire you part time for the hours you're looking for; however, they don't hire IC status, which is what I wanted.
Spheris is not working out for me at all, but maybe it'll be what you're looking for.
Good luck!
How can a backup computer be used with Spheris? You work on sm
theirs only.
Has anyone received their W2 from Spheris or Webmedx. Yes, I work for both.

we run out of work every single day with Radiology, i type for Spheris, it is so scary, makes you wonder if the account is going to close. anyone having a slow slow production month?
I was told that Healthscribe outsourced and when acquired, that Spheris would be bringing work
And this is information came to me from the inside, given to me when I was hired and in training.

I'm running XP pro w/sp2 and I keep
my machine in tip top condition w/regards to antivirus, antispyware, firewall updates etc...
everything is running well except for DQS which is still lagging today..
Running
Running and cardio in general is really awesome, but make sure you are doing some weight training. You will have faster results and not so flabby when that fat starts coming off. Cardio will burn calories when exercising, but weight training will help burn 24 hours. Burn the butter baby!!!
He might not know about running a
top notch company, but he knows about being a good lover. That's for sure.
They must be running more than 1 ad.
I saw the first one and now it's got the airplane.
What happens when the do get th EMR up and running
Then you won't have that account. Sounds like they needs something fast and temporary. Stick to your current rate.
I can see what is running, but how do you them off?
Thanks
Is DQS up and running now? nm
//
now we see who's running this
You're right. You're best bet is to wait until payday to quit. These people are nasty. Do you think she thinks she can take advantage of you because you're foreign (your words, not mine)? You obviously aren't that foreign (my words this time) or you wouldn't be able to get the job done correctly. $10 an hour is not enough for the crap you're putting up with, and you could be doing way better. IC is supposed to be where the money's at because you don't get benefits. I say drop and find something better!
Running on MT
First of all, I love your little avatar!  Second, thank you so much for the weblink. It is greatly appreciated.
It just keeps running...
but nothing on the screen...The Geek Squad said it was the internal modem that you would use for dial-up and they removed that and it started fine...now it is back to the same thing...I am thinking it is the video card as well...I am taking it back to them since I literally just got it back a few days ago...
All boards are up and running.

I agree with the others about maybe running an ad in the
newspaper to see about doing private housekeeping instead of hotel housekeeping. It pays more and there's less yuck factor. Also, what about selling on ebay or Half.com? I supplemented my MT income for a while selling stuff from around the house. After that, I went to yard sales and bought books and collectibles to resell. I did OK, but it got to the point where I had to do one or the other due to time constraints. MT won out because I don't have to package anything or drive to the post office.
yes, and running water too.
