Nonsense! It's not a pay cut. Engage brains! SM

In Reply to: And the Webmedx pay cut is 37.5% reduction from base rate. - Sick to my stomach

For goodness sakes. How hard is it to understand: You produce more lines in the same time because you're cruising through the documents faster, so you're paid less per line. This meeting showed their average-worker example actually came out a bit better.

If you don't want to lose out, stop complaining about everyone else and determining to see yourselves as victims. It's dumb. As dumb as that there are people who are doing badly on the new platform because they're refusing to learn the new keystroke shortcuts. If that isn't self-defeating, what is? And of course, if they're not doing that, they're also not building all the additional shortcuts so many of us use to speed our work up and turn it into $$$$.

For myself, I learned eScription as quickly as possible, learned Enterprise as quickly as possible, developed my Expanders as quickly as possible, and will be learning this new platform as quickly as possible.

I'm interested in hearing how the averages work for high producers. I'm not in the top bonus category, but it seems to me there's not the same advantage to them in increased production from the bonus system unless an additional tier to achieve is established. They're already there.

Engage YOUR brain please...

It is most certainly a pay cut.   I have worked on ChartMatrix and can tell you that this software is slower.  I did not see any improvement whatsoever in the quality of the SR that I did on that software compared to what we are working with now. I would have to be able to consistently do more than 350 lph with the new software in order for it not to be a pay cut based on what I am making now with our current ISR.  In the example she provided the MT was only doing about 280 or so LPH with the ISR, correct? I know it was NOT over 300... 


We all have brains
and can think for ourselves.  I speak the truth, and I am very happy with OSi.  I admitted they aren't perfect, but no company is.  We have all read the archives and know what has been said.  Obviously those unhappy with OSi left because they were unable to perform proficiently.  Cool down a little.  We are all entitled to our opinions, which is all I am giving. 
if someone actually PICKED this name.. then they need to hire someone with brains... nm

While we pound our brains out until our backs ache and our wrists crack and pop
The trend toward more and more hospitals hiring for work-at-home MTs is helping and if they'd all go that route it would solve the problem.
nonsense
I have been working for Transhealth for the past couple of years and we definitely have different outlooks regarding our employer. I know for a fact, like other coworkers, that there are problems with some members of the QA staff who have no respect for the trx and we might differ on this as we probably are not on the same account. Also they keep changing mgmt staffing and NOT adding to it on the contrary as I am still employed with them and have witnessed this myself.
Nonsense...
This is always the first response from people like you when someone disagrees.  It's total nonsense.  Guess what?  The MTSOs who charge 18 cpl are the ones who pay their MTs decent wages, but not all clients will pay 18 cpl.  Wake up!
Verbatim nonsense!
Thuh patient ah, um, ah presented ah came in ah today with a complaint of ah um left-sided headache, a headaches of a daily basis, um.........(shuffle through some papers or something).....um -  Comment:   So when they say verbatim don't we have to use common sense?  He had a hysterectomy, and that 5-year-old quit smoking last year.  Duh.......Verbatim accounts simply wear me out!!  Do they want it verbatim because they think they are saving money or what?  Ending sentences in prepositions, mixed tenses, no conjunctions or prepositions, etc.  A punctuation nightmare!!  Also their insisting on using acronyms, which have multiple meanings.  Am I alone out here?  I am so tempted to type something just once exactly, I mean exactly, as dictated.
spi and their ongoing nonsense

This company is hands down the worst company I have ever worked for in my 3+ decades in this business.  That arbitration agreement is not worth the paper its printed on.  They can TRY to make us think that though, can't they.  hmmmpfff.


Are we going to be subjected to this nonsense -
If so, warn us now so we can skip over your rants, k?
If you don't catch all the nonsense

Agree! VR is nonsense and should NOT be used in

Agree VR is awful, so why half the pay for this nonsense?

I find that people who refuse to say who they recruit for are frauds. Nonsense.
