US medical transcription firm hiring more workers in India

First posted 05:57am Oct 06, 2005


BANGALORE, India -- An American company that transcribes doctors notes said Wednesday it was setting up a transcription center in the southern Indian city of Coimbatore, making it the latest US company to expand outside India's traditional outsourcing hubs.

Spheris Inc. of Franklin, Tennessee, has hired 300 people for its new center in Coimbatore, in India's southern Tamil Nadu state, and plans to add another 700 workers in the next year, company president and chief executive Steven Simpson told reporters.


Workers at the Coimbatore office transcribe taped dictation of US doctors' diagnosis and advice for patients, saving the physicians time and allowing them to treat more people.


Spheris employs 2,000 people doing the same work in the southern city of Bangalore, one of the hubs of India's outsourcing business, but decided to expand to Coimbatore because of the city's large untapped pool of skilled workers, he said.


Who knew !

MQ info posted on revenue

has anyone else read this about MQ--when you look them up on the stock market, because of all their legal issues and problems with the SEC, they have to disclose everything--i don't know if i read this right but:


 


for the six months ending june 30, 2005


 


revenue


revenue was down due to the loss of clients and new clients coming in at a lower rate


 


operating income


 


loss of 8 million,  16 million in billing investigation and associated litigation, 3 million for separation and replacement of company management team


 


and you wonder why we are not getting raises or bonus---the money that they have spent on the lawsuits is amazing and golden hand shakes with former employes


 


it did say that they were saving revenue by consolidating offices and reducing staff, maybe this is where our raises will be coming from


 


boy, i wish i was their lawyers!!!!!!!!!!!!!


She said EMAIL info. I can't believe you posted--sm
this on a public board with all your personal info out there for anybody to do anything they want with. If I were you, I would ask the moderator to remove this post before someone has a field day with your information! Email. Email. Good luck to you!
Info posted on the net/identity theft
At least our county auditor has gotten smart and removed a lot of info off line.  He got slapped with a huge lawsuit after 6 people complained of identy theft relating to their divorce/traffic/ civil matter info being posted.  Heck, all a thief needs to do is go in and pick out an identity...you get all the basic info you need to become someone your not

Thank you for Focus info.
That is just about what I was hoping to hear as I am needing to make a job change. I've almost always used Escription, so I take it that I can use my own computer and not have to use theirs as with some companies. Again, many thanks.
Thank you for your Focus Info! sm
Yes, I'm currently working for penuts and am still trying to get back pay of just over $1000.00. I've been looking around for greener pasture. It sounds like Focus might be just what I need. Again, thanks for your post.
What about Focus Info????
Would someone tell me about Focus Infomatics.  Are they really bad to work for?   I do not know much at all about this company.   Would appreciate anybody who does know about Focus Info.  
Info on Focus Infomatics? - sm

Just a question on Focus Infomatics (their ad was removed).  Everyone is posting that they are totally an Indian-run company.  It looks like their corporate office is in Massachusetts. I am a little confused about how they are set up and whether the company is run from India or just employs most of their MTs from India. Any information would be helpful.  Thank you.


FOCUS INFOMATICS any info please
thanks

Need info on Focus Infomatics, Inc.

eight cents a line? I posted my resume on MTStars site and received a form-e-mail from them stating they pay eight cents a line. Does anyone make more than that? Do they have a lot of ESLs, steady workflow, etc. Any info would be appreciated. I don't want to waste my time or theirs taking a test otherwise.


Thank you in advance.

Any info on Focus Infomatics?

Are there any editors currently at Focus Infomatics that can let me know how the work conditions are?  I've heard there are positions for the SWAT team, but I'd like to know what I'm walking into before I take the plunge.

Info needed on Focus Infomatics sm
Good morning.  Can anyone tell me if Focus offers paid holidays and vacation to their employees?  Thank you! 
Have job offer for Focus Infomatics, need info (sm)

Could Focus MTs please give current information related to amount of work, flexibility, income potential and any other helpful information would be appreciated.  Thanks.


I was asked to test for Focus Info...sm
After making multiple posts on MTstars about the low work my company has and no backup account, I have been asked to test for Focus after sending a resume.  I just need another second job because as you probably know I have been getting little work.  If it is this or nothing, is Focus alright to try?  What other option do I have?  I need work.  Opinions please.  I have heard some bad about Focus.  I need to know if it is Focus or nothing what would you do?  They are the only reply I have gotten from my resumes except others to say they aren't hiring at the moment.
Focus Informatics QC/Editor, any info on what this entails??? thanks.

After much searching on this board, I am not finding any info on Focus for sm
rate in pay. Can anyone please spare a fellow MTs time and just let me know if their pay is decent?? I just got a 10% decrease in pay today with MQ and I am just so upset! I'm looking for a decent company, that's all. Thanks so much!
Opinions on Focus. Please. I read all archives. Please most recent info. Thanks. NM

There was some discussion of VR
last fall before I left due to a constant lack of work. At that time, the plan was to not cut the cpl rate.
I hung in there with them for 6 months, but they seemed to be overhiring. It
looks like I got out in time, but this is not good news.
will look for the discussion

There was a discussion about this
1-2 weeks ago and someone offered a way to figure it out - some kind of formula.... at least it is a 55 character line!!
Since the OSI discussion below
anyone care to share if OSi has improved. I tested with them and scored very high and hopefully will be hearing from them soon. Would like to know if the platform is MT friendly/how hard to make production? I'm not interested in benefits and I assume the rate is what is considered standard with most companies - just need to know if I can sit down, work and be as productive as possible. TIA

TKU very much. I had seen the newer discussion,
but hit server errors when I tried to go back to May, so had not seen the older link. Now that one has me reconsidering.


Re: MT supervisor discussion below...sm
I was an MTSO many years ago and have been an IC with my own accounts ever since.  I'm curious exactly what an MT supervisor does?
you are missing that the discussion

was also about signing the agreement that we would not bring the company to arbitration...as in agreeing never to sue them.


Per discussion this board. Even if never provides it,

Not only is there ridiculous discussion
there is also a lot of thinly-veiled shilling for people to work cheaply for Proveros......
Fantastic Discussion
I really appreciate all your replies and this discussion as a whole. It's helped shed some light on things.

What I'd really like to see is some kind of checklist that we could all go by to ensure that we are ICs, that the businesses are not trying to slide around any laws, and that we're treated the way we should be treated. Something that is MT specific, uncomplicated, and clear-cut for both sides.

I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge (or experience, especially) to put something like that together. But I sure would help any way I can.

I'd like to get together an action committee of some sort to straighten this out with businesses that are reported to be guilty of stress fracturing these laws. That would probably be less painful for all involved, but still achieve the desirable outcome.

In addition, something like this would really help empower MTs who don't understand the importance of what being an independent contractor means.

Empowerment through education and all that. It's a good thing. I think, as a whole, most MTs just don't know what they don't know - and go by rumors and rumors of rumors on internet forums. It's what I was guilty of for so, so long.


This is a DISCUSSION board...
How much stock do you think people take in postings here? You take this board WAAAYYY too seriously and assign it powers that it simply does not have.
