MDI or LANDMARK RELATED?

Posted By: Marilyn on 2009-03-25
In Reply to:

Does anyone have any idea if MDI and Landmark are affiliated in any way with each other?  It sounds like they both use the same platform (Bayscribe) and have very similar hiring and working practices, so I'm wondering if they are owned by the same people?  Also, is anyone currently working for both of these companies at the same time and if so, how is that woring for you?

Not related in any way. n/m

Look at how many are related....
There are several mother/daughters working there, several sisters, etc. You get my point. You know they're getting awesome charts! They send those 5, 12, 22-second charts to the others. Absolutely not fair..... Grrrrr....
Related to whom?
 
They are related to TTD

Superior uses all different companies to do their work. 


Boy, I wonder if he is related to her from etranz
sounds like there is more than 1 crook in this in this business.
Not related, but they sure like they are beginning to

I saw something that made me think they were somehow related to MQ.
It was a list of companies, and Medquist was listed, and then another listing with Milner/MedQuist. I'm not sure what it means, but it sure scared me away.
Work Related
On the job injuries, drug screens, employment physicals, workers comp, etc.
You can ask whatever, but it is specifically related
to company rules, regulations, benefits, etc., best to get it from official sources rather than here.
it is probably more account-related
but like with any company, it is going to vary according to patient load and whether the doctors dictate consistently or wait until the charts are going delinquent. This is not like predicting how many hamburgers you can sell in a day. If you believe in this company and how it operates, be brave, get your feet wet! it's not going to be perfect anywhere. You can always ask for back up accounts.
are they related to Spheris?

Oh, God forbid we say anything Christianity-related!
Like it or not, this country was founded by and established by Christians. If anyone's offended by that - well, too bad.

By the way, I'm an agnostic and if I'm not offended by the words Christmas and In God We Trust, why would anyone else be? Religion is a personal thing and being offended by a major religion and its doctrine is secular and hypocritical.

I can admit who is responsible for starting this great country of ours and if anyone has a problem with that maybe they should go somewhere and make their own country elsewhere. This one is already here and the facts of how it came about can't be changed.


My maiden name is Stillwell - we may be related.
It seems so strange to see my name on the internet and it is not me.

What state are you in?
Are Medquist & Medware related? The same? (n/m)
?
Definitely not related. MW is owned by 1 family. nm

Are you related to Kathie Lee Gifford?
...
Could this be related on On-Point? Where are they located?
..
I click on the related messages and there
are about a dozen.  If you will click on one of those links there are usually several other posts where others have responded to the same questions you are asking.  Someone has started a private Transtech board within the last few weeks, but there is tons of stuff about Transtech on MTStars. 
It's not job related but a generous gift
They believe we each have a responsibility to lessen our carbon footprint on the earth. They give the reimbursement as a reward and a thank you. Another reason I love working for them...it's not all about money and capitalism.
I don't need insurance; questions were not related to that nm

Not sure if related but I worked on Neo PLATFORM,
x
There are messages from Nov in related posts SM

if what you mean by looking for more is you want someone to tell you it's great, then here - IT'S SO GREAT, I MAKE MAD MONEY THERE, they let me work whenever I want and there is always tons of work and OT offered on all these easy accounts with normals.  I think I'll retire with this company. 


Does that work for you?

And one not related was the owner's girlfriend
One of the main players who was training etc was the owner's girlfriend. Also I believe the main players all came as a group from Softscript, which is another horrid company. This goes back about 6 or 7 years.
Concern is HIPPA related
I guess they had some HIPPA violations when somebody wasn't cleaning out there clipboard. When I preview reports in MEDITECH, they look just fine. I don't know what to do ....
I didn't take all 21; I took 3 related to the job they were hiring for. n/m

They weren't related at all. Her sister-in-law is my lead and is
wonderful. This person was a transcriptionist who took over HR. No one liked her and we thought she must be related to Lee, but she wasn't.
You use their computer and you can't use it for anything but work-related reasons
Very stupid and very annoying.
is the lack of work related to hiring new MTs?

It is interesting that there was an ad to hire with a hiring bonus in the summer and suddenly the work got low and now agree a couple of weeks after another hiring ad the work gets low.


or if you're not related you could brown nose your way
.
She could remove all MQ-related stuff, samples, etc.

Click on the see related messages link
at the bottom of your post. Lots of recent info there.
Agree with poster above, not related to HIPAA, but
most MTSOs do not want you sharing their company specifics, accounts, etc.
I'm with you MTadvocate. Toth must be related to the TSI people

I understand where MTadvocate is coming from.  If you don't keep this information up for everyone to see, then some unsuspecting soul will go to work for Jayne Mattingly (TSI, Transcription Management Systems - whoever she decides to call herself this year), type her heart out and not receive her check.  It's sad that these losers would take advantage of hard workers at a time when the economy is sinking and we all struggle to feed our families.  Instead of paying the attorney 100+ bucks an hour, how about sending us the checks we EARNED.  Seriously, how DO they SLEEP at night??????

$ is related to whether your company speech engine can learn. sm
And apply those corrections. It is also dependent upon how much your company slashes cpl for VR. The Q makes you place markers to help the speech engine learn, and that slows you down. The 2 other companies I have done VR for don't. I did leave 1 company for VR because they slashed pay from 10-11 cpl transcribed to 4.5-5.5 max MR. And that is not worth my time. JMHO.
All of the WORK RELATED emails, IMs, phone calls, etc...sm
Up until 05/13, I was a production paid MT that was expected to work a very structured, 6.5-hour shift that was to be performed from 9a-4p. HOWEVER, the constant disruptions that came from my supervisor and other staff members (mandatory IMs, emails, phone calls, on-line meetings, etc) was considered non-productive and had to be made up. It took me 8 to 10 hours a day (on a good day) to get in 6.5 hours of transcription! I was then accused of not sticking to my schedule because many of those hours were done in the evening (after the office went home) and I was finally left alone.

Could you even try to imagine anyone else (regardless of profession)being told to stay after their shift was over to make up any time spent performing work related tasks? It doesn't happen and never will!

Why are we expected to be so grateful to be at home when the only difference is demographics? Oh, and maybe a water cooler...


Latest, related, same difference. Copy and pasted.

No geek, but a net search shows it might be related to videos of some kind. Better ask the tech

Landmark
What kind of transcription equipment does Landmark use?
Landmark -sm

Just a warning.  If anyone takes a job with this company and decides to leave, you probably will not get paid.  My phone calls and e-mails have been ignored and I am getting really angry.  I worked for 2 days and hated their system of looking up physicians, leafing through pages and pages of physicians by hand.  So, I decided not to stay with them, sent my equipment back immediately and have not been paid.  Anyone know if there is anything else I can do, besides hounding them?


TIA - K


Landmark
Does anyone out there know anything about Landmark Transcription? How are they?
Don't go to Landmark
I don't know about Lee Perfect or Keystrokes, but I do know about Landmark. They hired several of us as full time with benefits, then took away our benefits and switched us to IC status! (That's when most of us quit.) There was NEVER enough work. I was lucky to get 10-15 hours of work in my 40-hour week. They're notorious for overhiring. They're sweet and pleasant, but that doesn't pay the bills. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.
Landmark
I don't know anyone who has had enough work at Landmark.  Ever.  This goes for MTs and QA.  They purposely overhire.  Yes, the accounts and platform are great, but there is never enough work.  There is a HUGE turnover at Landmark because of this. 
To the Landmark ER MTs out there

I am considering a position with them, but I don't want to make the wrong decision.  I am concerned about the work load specifically on the ER accounts.  If you have experience one way or the other about this, could you please email me privately. Thanks for your time.


Landmark
I've only been with Landmark for about 2 weeks now but haven't run out of work yet.  So far I'm really liking it, everyone seems really friendly and helpful.
Landmark

1.  You'll be hired full time as an employee with benefits and then suddenly, without notice, be switched to contractor status with NO benefits.


2.  You'll be promised full time work, but you'll be lucky to have enough work for 20 hours a week. 


3.  Your emails and phone calls to the office will go unanswered and when they DO answer, they will tell you to be patient and wait just a couple more months and there will be lots of work.  They lie constantly. 


I would run as fast I could from Landmark.  In fact, that's what I did when I realized all the lies they were telling me. 


Landmark
Message to D:  Got your email at my personal address.  Don't want to write from there, as don't want Landmark to know who I am.  Anyway, yes, if you want to be an IC and only want 15 hours a week, then Landmark is perfect for you.  My account there was wonderful; I miss that account, but needed more work so switched companies.  You'll be fine. 
landmark

anyone work there applied there or have any comment TIA

My friend works for Landmark - started on acute care and was then moved to an oncology account at her request.  She is quite happy.  They called me to come to work for them, but I was in the middle of a medical emergency with my son (he was in an accident) and could not take the stress of caring for him and learning a new account.  That's not to say that I won't contact them in the future - the timing was just not right for me at the time.
