Don't see it as a conflict

Posted By: AnnuderMT on 2009-09-08
In Reply to: That would be a conflict of interests, - working at the hospital and asking the sm

Work for the individual doctors was distinctly different from the work for the hospital itself. The doctors always went to the MR director if they were looking for someone to fill a vacancy, cover for vacation, etc., or they would wander into the transcription area and ask directly.

As noted, though, unless the physicians and their clinics are paid for by the hospital, it's no conflict. Ask yourself who does their clinic notes now. If it's not the hospital's transcription department, there's no conflict.

    2 jobs conflict
    It would be wonderful to only have 1 job but sometimes in this business you cannot make enough to pay the bills. I do however like the idea of only 1 job...is there a way to actually do that and get a good paycheck? I don't mean to sound naive, or pessimistic, but if you don't work for the same account through 2 vendors, is is truly a fireable offense? Again, your thoughts appreciated on this very interesting topic
    Isn't that a conflict of interest? NM

    That would be a conflict of interests,
    director to give you leads on doctors needing work, and also pursuing work from doctors at the hospital while you are an employee at the hospital.  I worked in a hospital for many years and that sort of thing was strictly prohibited. 
    as far as needing certain hours that would conflict with IRS
    but that is between the company and the worker.
    I would agree with the conflict of interest..
    I do wonder how many people actually get caught doing this. Our vendors do have people work for other hospitals to make sure they stay productive. I never thought about the situation until it happened. What is funny is that this 1 girl I knew worked as an employee with me, BUT also worked for 1 of the vendors and my boss knew about it. She doesn't work for the vendor anymore and she still works as an employee with us. That was the interesing part.
    Not legal, more conflict of interest.... nm

    I don't see it as a conflict of interest. If you meet your

    obligations to each company it isn't anyone's business what you do. 


    When you sign a contract with a company rarely is there a clause about not working for oneone else, only a noncomplete clause.


    Now if you are using their equipment for the other company I see a major issue with that, maybe not illegal, but certainly not ethical.  I


     


    I use my own equipment, and there is no conflict of interest. sm

    I would prefer to only work one full-time job, but there are things that I want (like a roof over my head and to pay the utilities - ha), and the only way I know how to get them is to work enough so that I can have them.  My full-time job is acute care, and the PT jobs are clinic work, so it is nice change of pace for me ... at least as nice as still sitting all day and pounding a keyboard can be.  The way the wages have gone down in this industry, it seems I have to work twice as hard to make half as much.  I made more in 1983 than I do right now.  Still ..... such is life.  And when I want to have a little pity party about having to work so much, etc., I just think of those who do not even have a job or a place to stay, and I realize I should be grateful to be working at all.  



    Doesnt matter if YOU see it as conflict or not.

    How do you get to work for both. Spheris told me it was conflict for me to have another job.
    Especially with a national company. They wouldn't even talk to me about why I should leave MQ for them as long as I worked for their competition. How did you swing both jobs. I know MQ doesn't have a problem with me taking another position but Spheris was anal about it.
    Conflict of interest working for 2 nationals
    Just a question - back in 1998, it was considered a conflict of interest to work for 2 nationals such as Edix and Medquist.  From what I see, it does not appear to be that way now.  Can someone shed some light on this?  For those who work for nationals - do they know you work for their competition?  No flaming please - just curious.
    I don't think there would be any greater conflict concerns than there would be with any kind

    Conflict of interest working for 2 companies?

    Has anyone ever come across a company that makes you sign paperwork stating that you are not working for another company.  I need a second part-time job, finally found one and while filling out the paperwork I came across this.  I didn't tell them I was working for another company during the interview but also did not deny it.  Should I give up the second or just not tell?
