Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

ATLANTA HOSPITALS

Posted By: OLDTIMERMT on 2008-07-14
In Reply to: Local Hosptials in GA - Anukis79

I am not sure about St. Joseph, Grady or Atlanta Medical, but my husband used to work at Emory and they have outsourced everything they can..he was laid off during all the change about 3 years ago.


A new nonprofit board just took over running Grady, so no telling what is going on there....


I live south of Atlanta (Griffin area) and all hospitals in this area outsource. 


I heard through the grapevine that Southern Regional (Riverdale) let their radiology transcriptionists go not too long ago, but don't know about HIM. 


But, if you happen to find a hospital that still has in-house, please let me know!!!!

It is not the hospitals on a short TAT it is what MQ wants to make the hospitals very happy with

them. I would assume the accounts are on 12, 24 or 48 TAT but wouldnt they love having their work back no sooner than it is dictated.


DSG out of Atlanta.
I have worked for them since November and love it. Very helpful, friendly staff and the QA feedback is also very helpful. Pay is ALWAYS on time and I always get immediate responses. I have been in the hospital recently (complications during early pregnancy) and they have been ultra supportive and understanding. I love DSG and feel very blessed to be employed as an IC with them!
DSG, Atlanta
Anyone working for DSG, Atlanta?  Would appreciate any information about this company.  Read prior post about their sound quality not being good but otherwise seemed a good company.  Any additional input would be appreciated  Know they use Docuscribe.  Thanks in advance!
DSG, Atlanta
Thanks!

I'm in Atlanta and never heard of them. Are they new?

Looking for company around Atlanta
I am supposed to be working today but again, no work. I need a job where I can most of the time be assured there is going to be work there, not a hit and a miss type situtation. Have loads of experience, fast speed, want a good platform and because of the problems with ULD, want to get work in my area code (here we have 3 different ones- 404, 678 and 770).  Anyone out there know of any companies close around that fit this profile? Thanks

I'm pretty sure they are still seeking more transcriptionists. Sorry to respond so late to your post. Hope this is useful.
Is this Paradigm out of Atlanta?
If so, I worked for them about 5 years ago.  They were wonderful, paid very well.  At that time I lived locally to them and only quit because I was moving out of state (I know, these days you don't have to quit because of moving) and they were my second job.  I would go back in a second if at all feasible.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm

Med-Tech in Atlanta or Amphion??
Any feedback would be greaty appreciated.  Trying to decide where to go or if should stay??
I believe you can use dial-up with DSG out of Atlanta -- don't know if they have IC positions
available but couldn't hurt to try.

Any opinions on Med Trans, Inc out of Atlanta, GA
Any comments?  Good or negative?  Thank you.
Re: Wordspeed in Atlanta, Georgia
I have worked for Wordspeed since March 2006 and I am thoroughly satisfied with it. At that time, I switched my employment from Medquist to Wordspeed, and, unlike MedQuist, Wordspeed ALWAYS has a full workload for everyone, all the time, 7 days a week. The owners/supervisors are the husband-wife team of Ron and Charlotte Wojcik (pronounced WOY-chick), and their professional attitudes and sheer professional expertise way surpass anything I ever experienced at MedQuist. If you are interested in working for Wordspeed, feel free to call them directly at (770) 516-6235 or write them at:

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY ARE GETTING RID OF THE LITTLE HOSPITALS THAT WON'T DQS?
X
So does that mean that the hospitals (sm)
(their website indicates US-based hospitals) that use this company are okay with this level of quality that the QA in India provides?  Thank you.
Is there anyone else who would like to see hospitals (or more hospitals)

offer transcriptionists the opportunity to work at home directly for them, with decent hourly pay that is at least consistent with the cost of living in the employee's particular region (and assuming that the MT would be working at home for a hospital that is in her/his region), with same employee benefits as the on-site employees?


hospitals?

i've been applying to the hospitals in the area about every 6 months, and no one is hiring.  i don't even think hospitals or doctors offices have MTs anymore...not my doctors office, and not another place i applied for a job...they have these little hand held things they dictate into that transcribe their words right there and then, they print it out, sign it, stick it in the chart, over and done. 


if i weren't 10 years away from retirement, there is no way i would get into this business.  having been doing this for over 20 years, its hard to find something else. 


i've got work today, but its crappy work, the national cesspool stuff, and my line count is going to be so far below the minimum requirement it won't be funny. but they shouldn't mind, since it means they won't have to pay too much at the holiday rate. 


but i keep applying and looking and applying and i know something good will hopefully come my way eventually.


in the meantime, i've had to get a 2nd job, part-time, another at home MT job, with a much smaller company, all IC employees, and i'd jump ship in a second and work for them full time if that wasn't the case because they are like night and day from the place i work for full-time now, but i need benefits, am single, own my own home, and will soon be one of those old ladies living out of shopping carts on the street, eating out of dumpsters, at this rate.


 


Yes, I have three hospitals too
and am very pleased. My liaison is awesome. She actually treats me like a human being.
CA Hospitals
I wondered the same thing. So many of the hospitals and clinics rely on MediCal, Medicaid payments. What is going to happen? Does the state have any safety net built into the system? What if the insurance companies go belly-up and quit paying as well? Domino effect!!! Ark!
Plus hospitals don't want to buy sm
the dictation or transcription equipment, just download the completed product into their electronic medical record. How would a bunch of ICs manage that?

Not to mention getting American MTs to all agree to be ICs - personally I wouldn't want to be one. I NEED INSURANCE and want a paid vacation, which I get through my company.

Hi!! I, too, would love to chat with fellow STL MTs.  Feel free to e-mail me!

I'm not sure who the other university hospitals use but

I never see anything on their sites or on CareerBuilder about hiring in-house MT's so apparently they're all using an outside service of some type.  Most hospitals I've worked in-house for use Medquist and another service at the same time (without Medquist's knowledge).


The only Phila. area hospital I've ever seen advertising for in-house MT's is Cooper in Camden, NJ (across the river from Philly).


I emailed you with some hospitals to look into - sm
I really hope it helps. In the meantime, I will get in contact with a couple of people I know to see if they hire outside their state.


I think MQ used to have them right. I guess they still have a lot of hospitals in the
Philly area.
hospitals hiring again?
Does anyone know if the east coast transcription scene is any better than other parts of the country, i.e., work?  Are east coast hospitals starting to hire in-house once again?  I am moving back to the east coast mid 2006 and wonder if I will still be working out of my home or can look to applying for an in-house position.  I was gonna post this on the state board of NY but it seems to be quite inactive.  Any information is truly appreciated!
Not that I know of. More likely to find hospitals that do. nm
