it all comes down to they dont care
I swear quality is nothing and i saw this in my own job. the newbies are making mistakes all over the place, and our manager just blew it off, knowing that QA would fix it.
I feel that is the same with offshoring... there are always "editors" to find the mistakes.
it's a bunch of crap!
to short... I dont think you guys know what day care is.
At my day care they get plenty of attention. The government regulates day care facilities and there is a certain teacher:child ratio they need to adhere to.
I also dont agree that they are "better off" at home near the sounds and smells and love of the mom when mom is constantly saying, "please dont be so loud, I cant hear the doctor dictating" Or "Not right now honey, mommy's working"
And let me ask you this....ARe you able to work all day and also give your child "one-on-one attention all day?"
And my kids have been in day care for 2 years now and were sick maybe once each year. They take multivitamins and eat right.

Has anyone reported this situation with Amherst to corporate or dont they care either about what is
going on there.
a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just
sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.
I dont care if you stay home because ofyour kids, a health issue - sm
or because you just like to work in tne nude. The fact of the matter is, settling for a lower rate jsut for the convenience of working from home is BS. I've been doing this for 25 years and have been home since 1996 and while I know I am not making the same money I did in the haydays, I sure as he11 will not work for less. Many of these companies are bluffing if they tell you they have to lower your rate. In fact, if you hold your ground and have a decent reputation, you can even make more.
It's too bad that so many people don't believe in their abilities and worth to hold out. You should never base your decision on fear. Use logic and common sense.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.

x
The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.

Kinship care versus foster care/adoption
Having been placed in a position where I now have custody of my 3 YO granddaughter and going through the legal system, I sought an online network of relative caregivers for children. I would encourage you, especially since you are in Georgia, that if you take any children into foster care with the idea of adopting them, there is federal law that requires the state to take certain actions in a specific time frame. When a child is removed from it's bio parent(s), the state is required to investigate any possible relatives who can take the child before foster care is considered, but even before that, reunification with the parents is the priority. Once a child enters the system and is in the system for 15 out of any 22 months, the state is required to find permanent placement for the child.
The problem with this is that there are case workers who may favor a foster family and do not seek out relative care. I have a good friend in Georgia who had to fight all the way to the state level to get custody of her grandson after the child was placed from the hospital into a foster care home with the promise that the foster parents would be allowed to adopt. She has now adopted her grandson, but it was a long, hard battle to get the state to admit their own interests were placed above those of the child and/or family.
If you get a child placed through the state, please make certain there is not a relative who wants that child before you get your hopes up. The courts are now favoring return of children to relatives even after a child has spent years with a foster family who hoped to adopt them.
States get bonus federal funds by complying with the time lines and being able to close the case, so some states place children in foster care because it is easier than trying to locate relatives.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I can't imagine my sweet bella going to someone outside her family.
If it was a clinic, it might have been urgent care, but it was NOT acute care. sm
Acute care refers to work in an acute care setting, a hospital, doing at least History and Physicals, Discharge Summaries, Consultations, Surgery notes, Emergency Department notes, and much more, including GI procedures, Cardiology procedures, Neurological procedures, Pulmonary Function Studies. It goes on and on and it means and acute care hospital setting, not a clinic.

Hello....YOU dont get it!
She is 18. She is an adult. Her parents didn't "send" her there. She went with her friends. Her parents, I am sure, instilled values in her. But she, like most peoples young teenage children, probably was acting like all the other young teenagers there and having fun. No one said she had no values. She made a bad decision. Your children could do the same, no matter how you have raised them. Should you be persecuted because of it? I think you don't have a clue.
I dont know
I do not carry it now with the company I am an IC for, but I am new in the field so I rely on asking you guys
I dont believe you
I really doubt you transcribe that many lines in an 8 hour day five days a week. You must do a single ESL dictator. You must be one of the lucky ones who gets to use all of those "normal" reports. Since I moved to DQS all I get is ESL dictators and NO use of normals or canned reports.
Still dont believe ya
If you are doing straight typing and not using normals, let us in on your secret. I concentrate! I have a positive attitude! I can also type 120 words a minute! You must type 300+ words a minute. Well, just stay happy because soon you will not be getting the same type of work and you will be in ESL h-e-double toothpicks! Enjoy it while you can.
No I dont. I am from the NE.

you dont' know.
This is why I think the old "page" and "half page" method of pay was better for everyone. I think it forced everyone to be honest.
Do you think they'll ever bring back 'per page' method of billing ?
usually dont pay anything in
and last year managed to get 1800.00 back. Love the write-offs!
I dont know but sm
A couple of them work in the office and I dont know if they put two and two together when I went to the office a couple of times or what. Or maybe he was just lying. I think it has to be the most rotten thing to do to anyone. What if something would have happened to me on the Interstate on the way home all because he couldnt just save me the trouble and do it over the phone? I have a husband who was highly upset that I drove all the way there for that.
dont know about
your Word problem - would seem that if you change it once in your transcription platform, that should hold from day to day.
but to post a new message - if you look up at the first message, right above that the admin has a message about the santa house, then look above that and to the left a bit you will see a box that says * post a new message *, click on that and you will start a new thread.
I dont think there's much else I can add
to all the great posts below, but you MUST know that you DO indeed have a job(s) and are working very hard. Sometimes parents can be so harsh and thoughtless. Give yourself a big pat on the back and affirm to yourself that you are doing a GREAT job with everything in your life! You are home for your kids and husband after all, and what's more important than that?!
Why dont you
post this on the gab board
Just joking!!! I have been following your posts and noticed you have been told where to go all weekend. Poor guy. But you seem to be taking it well! Good for you.
and good luck to you!
You dont have to have a CMT to be an MT - (nm)
.
just dont know
I have been doing this for almost six years. I know that to some of you, this isnt long, but considering I am 25, to me it is a good chunk of my life. I have loved every minute of my career as a transcriptionist.
My first job out the gate, with no experience, I made about 18,000 the first year. I stayed with that company for almost five years. Contractor status, no benefits, yada yada yada. the income fluctuated a bit in either direction, but overall it was okay.
Now I am a single mom of two. I work for a different company now that does actually offer the option of employee status with benefits, PTO, et cetera..i turned that down..i know i am crazy.
just to give you an idea of the potential and possibilities, i made almost 250 in two days. 1600 lines one day, 1200 the other.
There is a but..I often work twelve or more hour days...That is my choice, and no one elses...my line committment to my company is between 500 and a 1000 a day, but i think i am on paper as 500...i worked for 5 months without a footpedal and without a medical spellcheck/expander..so i did EVERYTHING manually
But ya know what, I still love every minute of it.
I'm an IC so I dont know if it is the same...
I made the mistake of "asking" for a raise just last week. I have been with this same office (a three doctor practice) for seven years. Not only was their response not to give me a raise, they want to make it so I'm actually making LESS. So I'm not sure how it works with a big company, but I know in my situation, I'm disheartened and upset. I figured with a big company they would say no, or they dont care about you, but in a small practice that I have felt part of the "family" so to speak... it was a shock. So much for loyalty in this industry! The problem comes in that I don't make enough money anymore to cover the expenses of inflation over the past seven years. I understand the need to cut costs in times like these, but how bad could it really be by not giving me a minimal raise? It's quite a slap in the face. I laid out the points of why I should be receiving the raise...(like 7 years alone without one isn't enough) but that's what you would normally do when asking for a raise, show your dedicated work, your accuracy, etc. If you do ask, I'd really love to hear back from you how it went so I know in the future what to expect. Good luck!
i dont really want to know!!!
haha
Dont know about anyone else...sm
What I do know is that if I pass the test, my company reimburses the cost of the exam, and then gives me an extra penny a line. Doing just the minimum lines they require, that works out to over 2000 a year pay increase.
I am planning on taking the exam the end of June, as said company also requires all QA personal to have or attain within three months and had thought about applying fot QA in the near future when there is another opening.
dont know where you have worked
dont know where you have worked but the hospitals and trans services I have worked for would NEVER help a doctor speak better. They are the bread and butter. The doctor is essentially the boss. You would never bring to a doctors attention that he does not speak correctly. You obviously are a newbie. I have worked at hospitals that have thrown wine and cheese parties for doctors just to get them in to do their charts, bought them scratch off lottery tickets, gifts, taken them to lunch, even though they could have suspended them but, of course, they would never. You do not want to lose a doctors business, that is what keeps a hospital and trans service open and profitable. You know what would happen if you suggested teaching a doctor how to talk correctly, you would be fired, nothing would happen to the doctor.
Up to the parents, but they dont do it
Hey, I feel like this, the parents have the only ones who have a right to spank or otherwise discipline kids
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are. Dont believe me, I dont care. MQ has been sold. I will post again once you get the news from MQ. I will post *I told ya so*.
It dont exist
!
Dont miss it at all......
Been without it for a year now. I have a greater appreciation for PBS!! And, I find that since I have the television on less, I am much more productive. My kids are out of the house now, I currently live alone, so did not need cable.
I do get my fix of viewing when I spend the week-ends at my fiances place tho.
What? I dont get the joke.

AccuScribe in CA DONT DO IT!!
I agree w/ the other post, there are more than one AccuScribe companies out there and the one run by Susan Rojo is not a good one! She does demand work in right away and does not pay on time EVER!!! She has no people skills and does not treat her employees with respect at all. Not recommended if you like getting paid and respected for your hard work.
thank me. i tried, but they dont do hawaii :(

Use meditech but dont like it...
Meditech is horrible. I use it, but dont like it....If I had known this was the platform, would NOT have accepted this acct. I use shorthand and that is a life saver... I have also when typing regular medical (I do both gen med and rad) since they are so much longer type the report in word, use all of word features such as spell ck, grammar, stedmans goodies and when done cut and paste into the Meditech screen. While it does take a while to peck it out, it still saves my sanity for not having any of the tools needed to type the darn thing....I also save my templates in word and use them from there.. Short ones i do put in shorthand. Good luck.....
Is this so you dont have to LEARN which is which?
If so, no, theres no way.
If you need a shortcut, just put the nongenerics in your Expander as capped. Put your others in like ddiphenhydramine and it will catch on spellcheck and you will know it is generic.
But I dont' do that consistently, wish I did ! --normally do about 800 a day - sm
but Sundays I usually hit between 1000-1500 as I save my weekend work for that day and do it all at once. Fun.
I dont know why its not been pointed out yet..
that the money you are saving in gas, you are paying back into a higher car payment. Yes the hybrids save on money your putting in at the pump, but instead youre going to just turn around and put it into the finance company who youre making your payment to. Compare the prices...generally...with any given model...a gas model as opposed to same model in a hybrid runs anywhere in the neighborhood of $10,000-$15,000 more. Youre not actually saving any money, youre just sending it somewhere else.
Dont want people to think
that the kids are in danger. They are with my mother-in-law while my sister-in-law works or with me. When she is not working she has them they do not stay alone with my brother-in-law anymore.
