I sent an email to Joint Commission

In Reply to: I just had an ESL doc who - ugh
I don't know why they don't crack down on these docs-- especially these horrible foreigners. I am an MT, not an interpreter for the UN. If I wanted that job, I would move to New York. What it is going to take is some horrendous lawsuit and I hope it happens soon. If these people can't speak English clearly enough to be understood, then they need to have someone dictate for them who can-- plain and simple.

Joint Commission is the entity that provides
accrediation to hospitals. Without them they do not get Medicare payments, Medicaid payments, etc.
Actually, the BOS follows the Joint Commission not vice versa. The BOS...
adopted the Joint Commissions recommendations for dangerous abbreviations. As for the rest of the BOS, I've worked for a number of hospitals in the office over the years and not one manager that I have encountered don't give a hoot about the BOS.
That is interesting. The hospital I work goes by the joint commission
and not so much the AAMT BOS but the commission that gives the governs the hospital. The doctors are not allowed to write q. as an abbreviation when writing orders and must write out word "every" or they are called on it. The transcriptionists have to follow that rule also. This is a major teaching hospital. I think the AAMT follows the joint commission also when they makes their rules. But I also understand that you do what the client wants first and if they do not answer to the Joint Commission rules then the other form would be the correct way to go.
The Joint Commission's Dangerous Abbreviation List... SM
applies to written entries on a patient's chart, i.e. nurses' notes, doctor's orders, etc. For some insane reason, someone somewhere decided to apply it to transcription as well which is just silly. I work for a facility that has decided not to force transcription to strictly adhere to the dangerous abbreviation list and Joint Commission has not counted it against them in the last three audits.
I will say most MTs where I work do not use qhs, qac or qd. We expand those out because WE (the transcription department) decided that we should for clarification purposes.

If Joint Commission audits and finds "patient care" errors it can result in very...

joint/join
Ummmm - that was join, not joint.
File complaints with the Federal Trade Commission, your state attorney general, and the SM
state attorney general for the state The VLC is located in. I happened to check it out and they have offices in Niagara Falls, NY and in Ontario. Be sure to forward copies of every thing your file to them. You can fill online complaint forms at the FTC website and the NY Attorney General's website. Print out copies of these forms and mail copies of them after you fill them out to the school with a letter basically stating that you have reported them to these agencies and they will be intervening for you on this matter.
I also like the idea of putting cc's on your correspondence to a local news reporter. And call them every single day until they are tired of hearing from you!
Good Luck!

Does NE1 have severe joint pain while working?
I have been working as an MT for only 4 years, and I am only 23 years old, but lately I have had severe finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck joint pains, especially when working. I am just wondering if this is normal.
Thanks for the help.
Joint Pain in Arms/Hands/Shoulders
I am just going to relate this story for what it is worth to someone else.
In 2001 I began having problems with my left hand, arm and shoulder. Orthopedist thought it may be the beginnings of carpal tunnel but EMG was neg. It was bad enuf that at times I couldn't pick stuff up and it hurt to type. It waned and waxed. A few years later I began having problems with my hands and the joints in my fingers hurting, along with left shoulder pain. My hands were so bad I could not open a jar at times. Eventually I went to a rheumatologist who told me that I had no visible signs of severe arthritis. All MDs, incl. orthopedist and rheumatologist recommended trying Celebrex, aspirin, etc. The regular stuff. I was resigned to early arthritis like my mother.
Well, one day in late 2004/early 2005 I decide to see a chiropractor for my shoulder because I'd had electro therapy for an injury years ago and thought maybe this would help. I had some adjustments and electro therapy on my shoulder.
I want to tell you -- ALL and EVERY pain in my fingers left and never came back. ALL and EVERY pain running from shoulder to hand stopped. It had to have been some sort of pinched nerve.
Not a single MD had even suggested seeing a chiropractor. And had it not been for my shoulder and my past experience, I never would have thought of it and would still be suffering, possibly with even further damage to the nerve by now.
Yes it is, and we do file a joint return BUT you can offset your income - sm
on the schedule C with your expenses (mine are ~$2K) and lower the amount you pay taxes on. This is in addition to your Sch. A/B or the standard deduction.
isn't the forbidden words from joint commision of hospitals, not BOS? nm

Hunter Hayes and Hank Williams, Jr. rocked the joint!
Love music....every form....I've sung just about all of them including Mozart! Music is an international language. It's always been such a great release from life's daily stressors.  Cat

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.

Please email me as I need to find a good employer--trying to get rid of those golden handcuffs! Thanks. lsmithes@hotmail.com
and I also got an email in my home email--sm
address for a similar type of *job opportunity* today, although it was not this person's name. I can't believe the presumptiveness of some of these people! Don't they realize that they are taking jobs away from us and probably doing something illegal, to boot? I sent the email to the authorities this morning after reading it. T'd me off!

What's your email?
I can send you one.
Hey MI-MT, could you email me please? sm
I'd really like to find out where you're working, if you don't mind saying. I'm looking for oncology work too. Thanks!
Not sure how to do the email.
It is hard to meet people here. Can see the Strip from my upstairs window, but not much of a gambler. Not quite ready for the senior center yet, but bingo can be fun. I'm a hockey fan, so golf would kill me.
How can you let someone email you from here?
What is the way to let someone contact you w/o putting your email address?
Email me if you like
There should be a reply by email option. I don't see it for you, but if you want to email me you can.
I got the same email and I can't go along with it
They'll have to supply a computer for me and if it is because of this restriction, then it will have to be free to me. This company monitors this board very closely also so I'm glad to see the responses here. I don't keep my email on my hard drive anyway. I keep my email on my email server and not on my hard drive. I wonder if I would be required to give them my personal log in information to my email server?
Hmm, this should be interesting.
Did not get the email
I, by accident, posted the wrong email address. It ought to be (e-mail address edited out of post), so if you could resend it, I would be most appreciative.
Thanks

They sent out an email
In September/October stating that all MTs who keep a quality score above 98% will be getting an annual raise on their anniversary with the company. This went into effect in October, I believe.
I do not have the email any longer so I'm not sure exactly how much the raise is each year.
