Wondering if anyone has heard anything new on the sale of Heartland. I currently work for them and at times I can be worried about my job. I work as usual, but cannot help for wondering how safe my job is.

I seen a couple things on Heartland even some old ones saying they were over seas owned, which is not true. They are owned by HCR Manor Care and based out of Toledo, Ohio.

Anybody work for them?  Any info on them would be appreciated.  thanks!

Spheris purchases Heartland Information Services.. more to come later in the week

I have read all about the difficulties with MQ here.  Anyone here have any experience working for Heartland Information Services. 

Thanks

 and as long as we have MTStars.....it will not become a thing of the past so quickly!!!  Thanks MTStars!!! 

I think I have had enough! Yes, I admit, I currently work for Heartland and truly thought they wanted a domestic team. I didn't think much of the managment changes and truly thought we (domestic MT team) would be okay even if HIS was sold, well think AGAIN!

We are being fed a load of crap from the new President (Dennis Paulik)!! The below was sent to me annoynomously. I think that all US-based MTs for HIS should up and leave! Why wait, obviously, he has "other" intentions that don't include us - the USA TEAM!!!!!!

Heartland Information Services, Toledo, Ohio, which employs 1,400 to 1,500 foreign transcriptionists in three cities of India, may help explain why. Dennis Paulik, Heartland's vice president of sales and marketing, says that HIPAA standards are applied to all transactions, including anything outsourced. The company leases private, transoceanic lines, so all transactions are encrypted from the time the information leaves the hospital, to the moment it is dispatched from Heartland's U.S. offices to a transcription center in India, until processing is complete and the medical transcript goes back to the hospital.

Paulik says he hears time and again that there aren't enough U.S. transcriptionists, and that those who do still work here are an aging population--the average trained American transcriptionist's age, he says, is about 59 years. It's one reason his company was formed, he says.

"You're going to have a growing need, and fewer transcriptionists," Paulik says. "It reinforces that point that people have just got to go overseas."

it's really not fair to tell people to get into this business when it's obvious there's big trouble and the S--- is just starting to hit the fan...
