Is it padded?
And also...what color is it? I'd like to buy it for my mother-in-law. I already purchased a helmet for her.
No, but I did read recently that the MPGs are a bit padded - sm
on hybrid and regular gas cars---the info. I dug up basically said take whatever the figure they say is the MPG and hack off 25% to get a more realistic figure in terms of gas mileage.
These dictators should be weighted
by difficulty and line pay or hourly pay by their difficulty so no one bears the burden of working for nothing. I have worked in-house where the dictators were weighted by difficulty, but as an IC I have not had that experience, but should have. We need to speak out and have that addressed so that things are more equitable financially, and from a "mental health" perspective. Sometimes when listening to a 23 minute report from an ESL you start wondering about your mental health when they do the two minute paper shuffling while you are sitting there tapping your fingers. No one should have a steady diet of that and those should be split up among the pool.
weighted lines
I may be wrong, but I believe a "weighted line" is one that is padded; for instance, a doctor says C-A-B-G and you type out "coronary artery bypass graft" (using the extension instead of the abbreviation to make more money).
weighted lines
It used to mean you would get more per line for the harder dictators. I am not sure how this works with voice rec though, just standard typing.
I am in need for a weighted QA scale sm
I need to give some feedback and I'd love a weighted QA scale to use. Would someone be kind enough to email me one? I can't find the one I had and I didn't lift it off this site when it has been mentioned.
Many thanks.
Yes - weighted oblique view. nm
Different types of errors are weighted differently ...
so more serious errors count more, less serious count less. I have 8 reports a month QA'd. My QA person listens to the dictation while reading my transcribed report and marks errors and classifies each error. The total is weighted on a percentage.
Last month on my 8 QA'd reports, I had only 1 error and it was a style format error (I used a "dash" as the physician dictated but the BOS2 says to use 2 dashes if dashes are being used and BOS2 prefers using semi-colons). That was the only error of any kind I had and it was not serious. My monthly QA score (because of how this type of error was weighted) was 99.9%. I have had a few times of 100% but I have never had below 99%. My QA person gives me a full explanation of why it is an error and sometimes marks information that is not counted against me but is given as "information only". Noncritical errors are only counted once in a document and critical errors are counted as often as you have them (ex: if you used perineal instead of peroneal --that is a critical error).
At our company, errors are weighted. For instance...
a simple "a" instead of "an" would only be a 0.5 error, whereas an incorrect medication or such that could directly impact patient care would be 2.0. No errors are more than 2.0, and we do not deduct for blanks etc.
