DocUscribe...

platform Medquist uses that we all know and love.


DocuScribe
Anyone know how this platform is?
Docuscribe....sm
That account is full of horrible ESLs.  I like Docuscribe, but the ESLs, I would say, make up about 60% of the account.  It is awful, I won't deal with this much longer.  Changes to account day in and day out sometimes 3 times a day...Can't get production going, always something changing....but what can one expect considering where the hospital is located. I am so disappointed.
Docuscribe
I work there and love it. My account just went to Docuscribe and I love it. My production has jumped a good bit. I have plenty of work just about all the time and they leave me alone, pay me on time, etc.
KS regarding Docuscribe
Is KS still looking for people to work on the big account they started a while back?  I know it was utilizing Docuscribe and I was hired for it but because of the great amount of ESL dictators, I decided not to stay with them.  I really didn't mind the Docuscribe though, and can't figure out why they would require experienc on Docuscribe.  I didn't think the platform was difficult to learn at all.
Would love to be on Docuscribe at KS
love to be on it again..it beats Meditech any day!
For any Keystrokes MTs on Docuscribe

How do you feel about the Docuscribe account now that you have had a chance to work on it a while?  I read there were lots of ESLs, but how is the work load and have you gotten into a rhythm with it? Thanks.


I went from Docuscribe to Extext. It only took about
a week or so to get up the required line count; but I had to put all my short cuts in over again, so that slowed me down somewhat. All in all its not a bad program.
DSG out of Atlanta uses Docuscribe. nm

They are saving a fortune on Docuscribe (sm)
Since switching most of us have taken a deep dip in wages. A little perk to keep morale up wouldn't hurt.
Anything out there part time DocuScribe except MQ? n/m

Bayscribe versus DocuScribe. Which is better?
I've used both but wondering which people generally prefer.  Me?  I'd have to say DocuScribe is more user-friendly to me.  Ideas?
Does Keystrokes use Docuscribe? How are they to work for?


I am tired of geting burned by some of the companies that advertise here.  I want a job that has a lot of work, does not outsource and have good accounts. 


My resume is looking worse and worse because I appear to be job hopping.  I want to find a good company where I settle in, work hard and retire in 7 or 8 years. 


I worked for MQ for 11 years and loved DocQscribe.  I just saw an ad from Keystrokes that they use it and want to know if they are as good as they seem to work for. 


This is so confusing.  Most of the companies either run out of work, send work to India or conveniently forget to pay for work done.  Help!  I need a good company!


I just started on the new account with DocuScribe. It is the same as MQ. sm
I worked for MQ for a long time. When they got this new account, they asked if I was interested in changing accounts because I had the experience with the platform. It is the same one exactly. The difference is that KS has a lot of work and we are not pooled. They have taken on a lot of MQ accounts in the past few months. I think that they have a great reputation with their accounts and in general and that the fact that they do not send work offshore is very important to hospitals. It is to me :)
Keystrokes Docuscribe Account
Did anyone out there get hired a few weeks ago by KS for a new account that is on the Docuscribe platform (the same one that MQ uses)?  If so, how do you like that platform and how is the account?  I am very curious about this because it stated in the ad that they will be putting a lot of new accounts on that platform in the coming year.  Please share your experience thus far.  Thanks a bunch.
Keystrokes New Docuscribe Account
I asked this question last week and would like to check regarding if transcriptionists who were hired for this account feel any better about it yet?  Last week there were a lot of negative posts stating too many ESL dictators that were very difficult and they were not able to produce a good line count.  Has it improved any for you?  Also, how do you like the Docuscribe platform?
No. We use DocuScribe and have no intentions of selling to MQ. sm
They have a separate department for technology, used to be Lanier, and they keep it separate. It is the same as using WebChartMD or EmDat. We pay what we use.
I know of Meditech, DocuScribe, TA+ and ExText for HIM and sm
Radnet, Meditech, HBO Star and Misis for radiology.

All of those are compatible with Shorthand.
Does/Did MedQ use Docuscribe program?
I quit the big Q several years ago and can't remember what program I used.  (Old age memory problems, LOL).  Does anyone know if they do or did use Docuscribe?  TIA.
Does Smart Type work with Docuscribe? sm
entertaining an offer and need to know about this.  Thank you.
I work on Docuscribe (not MQ) and have also worked on Chartscript in the past. My line counts went
down significantly when I went to the DQS platform.  Don't know if it is being manipulated or not, just simply stating the facts as I have seen them.
CALLING ALL NEW MQ MTs

What incentives were you hired at? If you are an SE, were you told you get quarterly bonuses?  PLEASE REPLY!


Just keep calling (sm)
Don't be nervous. Same thing happened to me. They are spread pretty thin there, with people wearing a number of hats. They don't really have one person who does only recruiting that I'm aware of, unlike the other companies, hence the disconnect in getting back with people.
Have you tried calling them?

Calling on ICs

I have always been a FT employee for a national ...I understand IC status but very unfamiliar w/companies hiring IC status....Any advice on ICing greatly appreciated and good/bad companies....How is money doing Rad as compared to hospital basic 4...?


Thank you


keep calling
630-553-3680 I played phone tag for quite awhile before I finally got to talk to the recruiter. I believe they must be really busy hiring these days.
No name-calling, please. (sm)
We all have to get along on this board. If you don't care for what someone is posting, you can disagree but you cannot use foul names or vulgar references.

First off an MD would not be calling HR to
talk about an MT.  They have a contact and if they had a problem with the work of an MT they would call their contact, not HR. 
Have you tried calling them???
x
Why would you be calling yourself sm
Newer TTer if you've been there for 3 years?  Probably forgot to change the name field, didn't you?  I smell someone trying to be more than 1 person here.
you are calling her smug?

I think it's quite smug that you assume because you state you were allowed to have a flexible shift that this statement will automatically allow Transcend management to know who you are!  So, you were the only one treated special?  Well, you don't work there anymore so all should be fair now!


Also, I knew coming into the job that Transcend had 300 or so employees and was not as big as Spheris.  Who cares?  Also, I think the fact that you pointed out, about how numbers of MTs post positive comments about Transcend, I think that definitely speaks as to the health of the company.  If we were posting negative comments, everyone would be ready and more than willing to accept those posts as an indication of how the company is functioning.  It seems that the bad is always more spicer and acceptable than the good. 


As far as blanket statements go, that is exactly what was going on with the unhappy poster.  They were blanket statements.  And as far as trying to "draw her out", you are absolutey correct.  I could care less who that poster is, I want to draw out the specifics of the allegations.  I want to understand what she is talking about and why.  If you are going to post something on here that is controversial, you had better be prepared to back it up, good or bad.  There is nothing wrong with expecting that out of someone, otherwise that poster's comments are chalked up to a disgruntled employee or bad seed. 


I also know that I am no one special at Transcend, but I have managed to be treated very well there since being hired.  I have been given everything that I need and have FINALLY found a company that I can trust.  It is quite easy to get on here and post positive things about a company, placing your name beside it.  You are right about that.  However, I have worked for Keystrokes and Spheris and have posted many times complaints about each and have posted my name.  Why is that? Because I believe in what I stand for and if I feel that I am not being heard or treated fairly, I am not ashamed or afraid to stand up for what I need.  Sure there may be repercussions in that, but I am willing to accept that.  What some people don't realize, though, is that there are also repercussions in anonymity in that you never get anything changed.


CALLING ALL MEDWARE MTs

Considering this company, could some people give me their average pay an hour, etc.  Tx


?? Why the name calling? Deal with it..
x
I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
I have this recruiter calling me
about a position within her company. When I asked her initially how she got may name and number she said someone gave it to her but she couldn't remember who. Anyway, she has called 4-5 times. Her name sounded familiar so I looked back to old jobs I had applied for. She used to be the recruiter for SoftScript (I guess, she may work for both). Are they allowed to take that information with them to another company? I'm really bothered by the fact that she has done this and have told her to quit calling me but I'm just amazed that she has taken this information and is now using it for this other company.
Hmmm. I would try calling them. nm

If they are calling you , then yes, you passed - sm
otherwise you'd probably never hear from them, or maybe get an email saying try back in 6 months. Talk to them, you have nothing to lose. If you like what they say accept the offer but tell them you cannot start until January. Or if they don't like that offer to work PT until then and go FT in January. It usually takes a week or more to get all set up as it is. As for looking around, you face a lot of competition, jobs are hard to come by. I just lucked into a backup job for my main job (both are totally IC, no set hours and on the new one just have to meet 500 lines a day) (getting bad vibes from my regular job, another MTSO is trying to get the account away from my employer, and if they succeed I am out of a job--they have been up front with me at least at let me know). The pay for the new IC job is not great (average), but for now is it extra $. If it becomes my B&B I will be making less, but it is easier work so it would all work out in the end. You could accept the MW offer and keep looking, no law against that. Good luck.
Try calling a recruiter.

Or not calling a recruiter. That would be best.

I would appreciate your not calling me **nuts**

I only got 5 hours during my scheduled shift yesterday and only 3 hours during my scheduled shift today, so I know for sure. No jobs.


Please know the entire story before posting such accusatory names as ***nuts***. My account has no work for me.


Calling all MDI-MD'ers...

I have just been contacted by MDI-MD for interview.  I could sure use your imput esp if you are an old MQ'er.  If you would like to respond, could you please E-mail me?


 


Thanks so much!


maybe try calling them and ask if no one knows the answer
nm
If that happened to me, I'd be calling the BBB

Try emailing or calling your former STM. nm

Calling all you LANDMARKIANS!! (Is that right??)

Hello!  I just joined Landmark and would be very interested in meeting some of my many co-workers scattered out there across the country!  If there are any of you that may be interested in sharing IMs, please just email me.  I promise not to abuse you with IMing.  The company I just left mandated IM accounts so I will understand perfectly if you're not interested.  I didn't think I would ever be again!  All the IMing I had to do caused me to have to burn the midnight oil on more than one occasion!!


Please just shoot me an email if you are interested.  I think this could very helpful for us.  If you have zero interest in an IM relationship then that's perfectly fine too!  I'd still like to hear from any of you working at Landmark.  I've been doing this so long there may actually be a few of you I do know from years ago!


Thanks!


Landmark Newbie


Yes, I agree with calling New Jersey
What has happened is that P and M have a lot more authority than they are capable of handling. for example, I know of an MT whose son was killed in a car accident. For obvious reasons during the funeral and shortly thereafter she could not make her lines, they threatened to cut off her health insurance, single mom. That one broke my heart and I knew I had to leave.
IF you stop calling it Christmas
First of all, I don't think it's possible. People would never totally adapt to saying Holiday instead of Christmas. But second of all, I think that if we did stop saying Christmas, lo and behold, whatever word we used instead, be it holiday or whatever, would then become an objectionable word. They just are jealous of us and want to bully us around. I can imagine maybe we just change the date? Christ was born in September anyway. It all goes back to converting pagans and having a celebration to coincide with their big winter celebration.

No communication? They are calling and emailing me

Same thing happened to me, and when I kept calling
hired me went on vacation for 3 weeks. Ridiculous. I had to move on and get work with someone else. Cannot waste time waiting around for people like this - how long will you wait around when you have a problem. Nope ... move on.
Have all the emails go to Junk so you don't see them. Keep calling until
