Can anyone tell me what T-C Transcription stands for or how
I would find a website on them or contact them?  Thanks in advance. 
Can you tell me what JLG stands for so I can
look up company in archives??  Thanks much.
JLG stands for....
JOKES, LAUGHS, and GIGGLES

I worked for them once upon a time and it's everything but fun or funny.

ECK!
I know what IC stands for...
as that is what I am.  I didn't know you weren't allowed to name accounts as the other poster listed hers...SORRY!
SCP...anyone know what that stands for?
In an ad for iMedX, for method of sending/receiving dictation they have SCP...what does this mean?
I think it really stands for
Independent Transcriptionist Alcoholic.  There isn't anything else that explains her views and her loony posts. 
I am not sure what DIT stands for but (sm)
the company is DIT Transcription out of Fort Mill, SC.  If you use the search box (not Google) to search the archives you will find posts about this company not paying its employees.  In my research I have found LOTS of employees who they still owe money to, amounts as little as $300 and as much as $3000. 
DSG stands for what? What is their website?
..
AAMT stands for sm
American Association for Medical Transcription, not

American Transcriptionists. Their support of Indian MTs is actual their support of American transcription going to them. They back the industry, not the American MTs who need them the most.

LER stands for the owners name....
xx
TSSC stands for?

 Sorry, I don't know all the company names by their initials.


BOS says no unless the word stands
alone - The patient has Alzheimer's. However, it is ALWAYS per client's preference. My account wants them.
yeah thats it but it stands for sm
something else. I can't remember what they told me. I do remember they would just whip off the initials and get very irritated when you would ask what that meant. The whole place makes me tired!
I can't remember what it stands for, but it is another
name for acute care.  Keystrokes always uses HIM in their ads instead of acute care.
Your work stands for your quality. If your
work is fine, you have nothing to worry about. If your work is below 98, you have something to worry about. You cannot score below 98% because of commas. Sounds like you are in a bit of denial. Your work is your proof. If QA is out to get you, then your errors are not errors, and that is all the proof you need. Only major critical errors bring scores down that low. You might be under the eye of QA, but I doubt its a vendetta. QA's job is to assure quality. Don't take it personally, take it professionally and aim to improve - for the patient's sake.
People Support Transcription? Anyone know anything about them? nm
.
Do you mean only SR people terminated, straight transcription ok? (Sm)
Surely they would give editors a chance to change to straight typing. Maybe I am misunderstanding this.
NJPR is in NJ, not NY, stands for North Jersey Physicians Review I believe,
try googling for a web page, I am quite sure they have one, you can the info and I think a phone number there to call.
It may be harsh, but it is true. Too many people come into transcription with false sm
expectations. They expect to get paid to stay home, watch their kids, work when they want, make a fortune after 6 months of correspondence courses.

It takes more than that to be a good MT and a heck of a lot more than that to be a great MT.

With this economy, it would pay to fine-tune skills, work on typing speed, learn new specialties. The best will survive and I intend to stay one of the best.

Not everyone is good at everything.
People would rather the company be (sm)
2 days behind in their work to insure work for all.  Doesn't work that way. 
Company no, people yes
I don't know about the company itself, but I do know personally people who work there and they are just the kindest, nicest people you'd ever want to work with and for. No, I don't work there, mainly because there are no openings in what I do, but you shouldn't hesitate in applying.
How many people (and for what company) (sm)
actually keep a manual log of all jobs you do? 
Perhaps they are the only MT's at the company. How many people
@!&
I liked the people who ran the company
General info needed, such as their general pay rates, flexibility in schedules, direct deposit, pay on time, and anything else that may be helpful.

My pay rate was 7 cpl for an easy ortho acct. I'm guessing it could range between 7 and 8 cpl, but ask and I'm sure you will get an answer. Flexibility wise, they want their work back within the agreed TAT. No direct deposit was available and I don't remember having a late pay. They give you your work and leave you alone, which is good if you don't like to be hounded. I had to give them up because of other commitments, and now work outside the house, but wouldn't hesitate to work for them again if it weren't for me working away from home.
I know 3 people in the company
the owner, Kristal and my immediate boss. I know of no others who work there- I was told when you assume it is usually wrong and this is what has happened with my being taken for an owner?/boss?/higher up? - as far as stealing, have no knowledge of things going on. It is strange the posters seem to have so much more information than me. I do my work, keep my nose to the grindstone and stay out of other's business. I happen to love my job- even after my retirement in a few months I still hope to work there. Prayers going up.
That is exactly how quick this company can get people going.
This company truely is one of the best. I feel like I am honestly part of a great family!
I see people asking what the best company is, so I am going to turn the tables here. What would sm

a company be the best.  What type of rate would you want realistically?  Benefits?  IC or employee?  Direct deposit important?  What pay schedule - weekly, every other Friday, 1st and 15th, once a month?  What makes you stay at a company?  What makes you leave?  Equipment?  Training?  QA?  Etc???


Apparently this company takes people for a

So, Yes, they were once OmniMed, meaning the same people. Thought so! BAD company! x

Yes, they are a decent company. Different personalites, overall good people. nm

in case you were not aware, some people will not work for a company who
outsources overseas. precyse does this quite heavily.

even though this board has 'flip-flopped' and now agrees with this practice, it is still driving our rates way down and has damaged our trust.

I have done two reports on individuals working with homeland security just this past week...hmmm, I wonder if they realize how vulnerable they would be having their 'vital information' shipped overseas for ANYONE to see. bet if they have a choice, their work is done here, and WHY WOULD THAT BE? Why would these people be more important than we are?
Proscript is a wonderful company, great people. nm

Second the motion.. Nice people.. Best company I have worked for.
They really care about their employees and it shows..
A company full of people on a power trip!
Absolutely correct, as well as the fact that most people who move up in that company are totally unqualified butt-kissers.

Yep.
What people are saying about Keystrokes is not hype like another company posted, this is really how
You cannot go wrong. They are as honest as the day is long.
They won't. It is common for a company to be bashed into the ground once it seems people are hap
I knew it was going to happen once I saw the positive posts about Keystrokes. Some people obviously get sick thrills from stirring the pot.

I hope they're happy now. I am sure Keystrokes will miss out on some great MTs because they won't apply due to the posts that have been put the last few days.

Can't anyone accept that there really is a good company out there?


TO PEOPLE WHO E MAILED ME FOR MY COMPANY (INCLUDING THE SOLICITOR)

I am sorry I can not state my company.  They are very small, only about 150 MTs, and they are not hiring right now.  I did see them post twice when I was looking, though.  Watch for the small U.S. Only job posts here on MT Stars.


To the solicitor from Infraware Platforms, I am in the MT business, not the IT business.  I very nearly did give out the name of my company, and now I am glad I did not!


I am not her spokesperson just happy with the company I work for and upset that people can be so sm

misleading because the fit was not good for them. 


If you have been on these boards a while, you would know that she always posts her name.  I emailed her today to tell her what was happening on here, and the response I got back was she does not even look on here as it is too upsetting and has promised herself not to come and look.  She has too much else to do with her time and defending herself and her company is always misinterpreted.  She basically told me I should spend more time working or with my family than spending time on this soap opera.

It is better to not care and let people form their own opinions.  Everyone takes the postings with a grain of salt anyway.  I think it is sad that she has to be so tough-skinned.
Do tell. I find it interesting in what some people like and dislike in a company. Could you share
more about your experience...
Decent company, good people, pay on time, work low sometimes. nm

Probably some people will move on and the company saves on benefit pkgs. (sm)

Telling us work is coming in at some time in the future is fine, but right now we have lost more than we have gained and  like you said, if we speed up we will run out quicker.  Not to mention that we will all have to work a little harder in order to make nearly the same as we did before.  Panic will make our fingers work even faster.


Remember the memo we got about over-editing.  Bet your butt we won't be over editing in the future.  If this ISR is so good, it shouldn't need too much now should it?


 


I love the company -- great people, good tech support, sm

good benefits.  The pay could be more, but at least there is a production incentive tier that is not too tough to achieve.   Overall, I would say this is probably one of the best places I have ever worked.  If the no work situation continues, I guess I will just have to call them and ask for a secondary.  Everyone in the office has always been very helpful and supportive.   I just get nervous when it is not a holiday or anything and no files are available.  That is just my little thing, I guess.  I still would not hesitate to recommend the company to anyone.


 


Hope this helps.


I agree also. Keystrokes is a wonderful company with very, very nice and helpful people. I would
like much more work, at least 12,000 lines each pay period.
Don't worry. Next week, the bitter people will move on to attacking another company. It is just
you watch this board, you will see a pattern. One a week. Have to shred the reputations of good companies to bits just to feel good about being unhappy in general. I wonder sometimes if these people job hop constantly, even work at all, or work for the company they are bashing. Maybe it's just sick fun for those with no outside lives :)
By chance, are these people calling "non-Americans" I worked for a company
who shall remain nameless but their supervisors were in India and would IM me constantly to do a STAT. Even though, I would try tellin them I was not working that day or that I was going somewhere. They continued to ask. It was bizarre. I kept think, what part of English DONT you understand..NO..I thought meant the same everywhere. They are just the only poeple I have dealt with that just doesnt comprehend rejection of any sort, but that's just me.
FN is a great company full of wonderful people who treat you with respect. SM.
But they only want to pay 4.5 cpl for SR, 5.5 for heme/onc. Can you believe that? Also, workload has been very, very low for a very long time.
I didn't take the posts as trashing the company, just people venting about no work. sm
I used to work for TT, and yes, they are wonderful people -- very caring and supportive -- but in order to get my lines in, I had to be VERY flexible, working on my days off, during times I wasn't scheduled, etc., and it gets old pretty quickly.  I personally didn't care for the e-mails calling me sweetie or telling me you rock, but that's just me.  I just want to be paid well and have plentiful work.  I do not know if they just overhire or what happens, but I finally left because I couldn't stand the feast or famine work flow there.
RISS is not a platform. RIS stands for Radiology Information System. The platform sm
would be EXText.
US Transcription company
Has any one heard anything about US Transcription.  Or is there a good company out there to work for.  I am sick of Spheris.
They are also a transcription company too....
They have an ad posted here for help wanted. TIA
Transcription Company ?

Does anybody know of a transcription service that was hiring FT MTs to work at home?  They are located in Ohio.  I remember seeing it, but I cannot remember the name.
