AC Medical Records

Seeking feedback on this company with an Oregon address, positive, negative, or neutral.  Any info welcomed.  Thanks.


Which is EXACTLY why U.S. medical records should
Their poverty and desperateness to survive is exactly why something like ID theft has certainly got to be too big of a temptation to ignore.
i was offered at 8 cpl for medical records w/o ops

Medical Records Company

MRC Medical Records Corp? sm
Anyone have any information on this company in Florida? Thanks.
FT Medical Records Transcriptionist
Who does she work for?
Medical Records Corp
Anyone have any input on Medical Records Crop out of Maryland? In can't find them in the archives. Thanks in advance.
Medical Records Corp
Hi there.  Not sure if I am correct but I used to be with Medical Records Corp out of Florida and then it was just MRC and of course, Medquist bought them out.  Is there a different Medical Records Corp you are talking about?  Sorry if this info is wrong.
Medical Records Corp
I am talking w/them now. Just did testing today. Seems like a nice lady that I talked with. You do know that they don't pay for spaces don't you?
Medical Records Corp.
Worked for them for a very short time. Very unorganized. Ran out of work the first week almost everyday within the first few hours of my shift. It did not work out for me. Had trouble getting my paycheck as well. Maybe things are better now.
MEDICAL RECORDS STOLEN
I watch the news out of Atlanta. The story they are handing out about the stolen medical records is that the company Grady outsources to outsourced it yet to another vendor and that is where the records were taken from. Sounds like, to me, it was offshored through their original vendor!! I would love to know the REAL story!!!!
Most people don't even know their medical records are
good sense to occasionally pay the fee, and have ALL your medical records sent to you for review. And not just the bits and pieces they CHOOSE to post online, if your medical provider has a patient website. Those are highly edited. You want to know EVERYthing that was dictated and typed. ESPECIALLY if you're having medical problems, insurance problems, your doctor isn't taking your illness seriously, etc.

One time I took the usual, illegible Rx to the pharmacy to get meds a specialist had prescribed for me. Was shocked to find out they were the same meds I had told her DIDN'T WORK at the last visit. It was clearly there in my previous report, too, so there's no way she could say she didn't hear me when I told her. She heard me alright, she just didn't check my medical record when she ordered the meds.

EVEN WORSE, at the next visit, she ordered a muscle relaxant for me that I was ALLERGIC to! (And that had been in my medical record for YEARS.) But apparently the origin of the more recent reports was slightly in question. No signature, and no one would verify to me if they were typed offshore or in the US.

So, in addition to educating people about their SS #'s, etc. going offshore, educate them that when something in their medical care is fishy, to become a detective and find out WHERE their reports have been transcribed. My quess is OFFSHORE.
Looking into medical records and include
this into the criteria to hire somebody or not, yes, this I would regard as overall discrimination.

But to be subjected to a hearing test to be hired for an MT job, is not discrimination of any sort.
VR and messed up medical records
I agree. I have a friend who asked me to look at his medical record that he obtained from the hospital and I found a lot of mistakes that would not be made had they not used VR and the MT Editor had not missed those mistakes. Like lists. Instead of a vertical list, it runs the list altogether. Impression 1,2,3 and 4 are in one big paragraph. No punctuation, words run together. Yes, there will be lawsuits.
I see errors on my OWN medical records and
so, are heads going to roll because of that? Someone typed in I had hypotension when it is really hypertension, someone said I had MRA done because of abdominal pain, never was abdominal pain. My mother was sent some wrong medication from the drug store and you think anything has come out of this?
all medical records should be electronic.

tell everyone you know that medical records go to India

Call the medical records dept there. Sm
I did a bit of this account, too, but my primary was a sister hospital. Loved it.
Any information on MRC-MD, aka Medical Records Corp?
nm
Anyone heard of Medical Records Corp. of MD? sm

They are posting that they are hiring at 10 to 12 cpl, however, wondering what the catch is......are they a school or something???  TIA


Medical Records Corp of Maryland
Anyone know anything about this company? Any info would be appreciated!
Has anyone ever heard of AC Medical Records Management out of Oregon? TIA nm

My personal opinion is MEDICAL RECORDS as we know them will not be around in 3 years.

There will be no need for the HP, DS, and other notes we have to generate right now.


The only reason we do notes is so hospitals can get paid.


If the coders can read the chart, and don't need us to type out what a doctor says, they don't need 80% of what we do.


We shouldn't be doing DIABETES LETTERS and all that crap.  That responsibility will be shifted off to other entities.


The op notes may be still done but I sort of doubt it.


  nice know'n ya.


Mine too - Medical Records Corp - Gone with the Qwind. (nm)
(nm)
I remember Medical Records Corporation, worked there, SM
then it became something like Medical Records Group and then Medquist. It kept going down, down, down..... Sad.
Any info on Medical Records Corp or FutureNet?
Can't find much info here on archive search...anybody know anything they can share?  thanks much!
When I MT'd inhouse in a hospital medical records dept.,
the hourly pay was around $9/hr. I had plenty of experience too. The lady there who had about 25 years of experience made around $12/hr.... I have no idea why it was so low. That's why I ended up working for a service at home. As low as VR pays, that $9-$12 is starting to sound good though. What a shame this profession is.
Offshoring of American medical records is flat out wrong and...
a security risk in some cases...
Call the hospital medical records dept and ask who does their transcription. They will tell you.

Per job post you need ŕ-3 years of medical records transcription experience"

Reason for the revolving door at OSi, always has been that way, always will be  


MRC (Medical Records Corp)?? Any information out there on them. I couldnt find anything in the
archives. Any help would be appreciated. Thinking of applying.
There are few account for editing Powerscribe. Not for medical records or for most radiology sm
accounts. There are few accounts that ditched VR, which is nice. I think that is going to help set Keystrokes apart; being open to the idea of it but not pushing it.
Our medical records are private. They should not be sent overseas. The language barrier can sm
cause a lot of very serious errors in a medical record, and I, for one, want my work kept here.

There are a lot of services that do not send work overseas and will not because they believe in keeping everything in the U.S. It was the deciding factor for me when weighing between two companies. One company was very vague when asked, but the other, Keystrokes, was adamant about staying U.S. only.

I started with them 2 years ago and will retire with this company, as long as it keeps the same ownership (had to clarify that as if the ownership changes, I would probably leave). I have not heard of them selling out, so I am hoping to stay!
I disagree. Accuracy of patient medical records should not be dependent on how smooth your life is

at the time.  If you had quality issues, and they were being sent to you, which is a warning, then you should have been extra careful.  Our clients deserve a perfect product regardless of what life is handing you at the moment.


 


Can anyone give me good or bad on Medical Records Corporation or Transcription Relief Services? nm

ACMR IC Editor

This is unfortunate. The lady who posted this ads resume said she had 14 years of experience; however, the first and only report that she typed as a test was horrible and there were many mistakes that someone with 14 years of experience should not make. I believe what the Operations Manager meant by well rounded experience is someone with the ability to transcribe, operate their computer, troubleshoot and be able to be handed account specs and type accordingly.  This is what ACMR did with me and that is what they did with everyone I work with so far.  I did not find anything wrong with their communication or expectations.  I like it actually.  I have access to the entire account.  I pull what I need, type it and return it.  I am done. Love it!  I do not have someone hanging over my shoulder and when I need time off, I let someone know and I never hear one more word about it.  It is fantastic.  Stress free!  I am sure the lady who posted this ad would have found that out but apparently, she was not happy with her own performance on her testing report, and honestly I do not think it was the company.  Honestly, I find a lot of issues with many MTSO out there and ACMR has minimal issues, and I can work with them. Again, this is unfortunate....this lady talks like she has been with them forever and really only made it to the testing table.  I welcome comments and questions......love to chat!!!!


ACMR transcription service...
Does anyone know anything about these people?  I have been with them for a short while now and I'm not very happy with it.  They use DocShuttle, which I'm new to.  They are not very informative at all.  I have had questions and you get responses like You have the help section to look at and if you are computer literate, it shouldn't be a problem stuff like that.  They give you reports, but don't explain how it may be set up, little quirks, etc.  They say they like their transcriptionists to be well-rounded in all aspects, even outside of the transcription part.  These are some of the rudest people I have found.  Thank God this is not my only account, because I think I'm getting ready to drop them.  Anyone else had experience with this company?
Maybe WL should see a doctor and have her records

Records theft

All the more reason why we should as MT's in this United States of America band together, go to Washington DC and protest!!!..I am more than fed up with seeing our skills and profession as a whole ****ardized by outsourcing.  I think it would be a good idea for us MT's on this board to seriously consider a sound strategy we can utilize to make our leaders listen to us and take us seriously.  Perhaps this is wishful thinking on my part but if we could put something together, I for one would be willing to WALK to DC if I had to (and with the price of gas out of control; I might have to) - to make ourselves heard. 


records theft

Amen


that's what happened with the VA records and
the whistleblower from Q is no blacklisted.
and .... that is no different than with paper records, so ...

Digital Records Corporation

Does anyone out there work for Digital Records Corporation, MTs, that is?  Need to know if you have to have a C-phone as the only way of working for them?  Will be taking their oral part of test on Monday, but she would not tell me any specifics about them before that !  Whatever else you could tell me about them would be greatly appreciated.  All I know, right now, is that they do pay for the spaces, that is a plus for me, because now I don't get paid for that !  Thanks.


 


Digital Records Corp - Does anyone know
anything about this company - good or bad?  I would appreciate your comments.  Thanks.
Anyone know about Digital Records Corporation? sm..
It looks like they have a GREAT benefit package.  Any information from current or past employees would be greatly appreciated.  Are their benefits as good as they say? Is there plentiful work?
Digital Records Corporation...
Check out their website, http://www.relyondrc.com...That is the one that I am referring to.  Thanks.
Anyone know about Digital Records Corporation?
Any positive or negative information will be appreciated.  I've got to get out of Medquist.
I think people don't realize those records are THEIRS
They are YOUR medical records. My sister is a nurse, and I used to work for a medical malpractice attorney, and I was amazed at the errors I would see in the MR. Plus, my sister says - those records are yours. You are entitled to view your medical records any time you want. You can't view someone else's, but you surely can view yours, and NEED to view them for accuracy every once in awhile. When we moved recently, and my husband was given his records to take with us to a new doctor, I was amazed at the sloppiness of the records. I loved our doctor, but considering the fact that her staff took my husband's history, and listed he was allergic to Doxacillin (he is actually allergic to doxycycline) - made me think twice about whether or not I would ever return to that office. Pitiful.
