Spheris Cornerstone

In Reply to: Spheris MTs, what do you think of - sa

I am leaving. I have never in my life been so terribly angry and stressed daily as I have become at Spheris. Cornerstone is a joke. SR? Lol! Tell me you can lock the cursor to that sound indicator and not stop every 2-3 words!! What a JOKE. I have had it.

Spheris cornerstone sucks
Lots of people looking for other jobs now that Spheris is trying to lower pay and force VR on their MT's.
Spheris/Cornerstone CUE program/line discrepancy

I just started cornerstone last payperiod and there have been line discrepancies according to my mentor.  I show I did 3,024 lines last week and she only showed 1597.  When we had our weekly mentor call I showed her how you have to go to the next day to get all of the lines (i.e. 11/17/2007- 11/18/2007 to pull up the lines for 11/17/2007).  She also said that CUE only showed that I was only for 18 hours which is a load!!  I worked 40 hours.  She said that everytime it pauses it adds that to the time.  It pauses when I am spell checking.  But none of that added up to such a discrepancy. 


I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem.  Or maybe I just needed to vent.  I like the idea of having instant line counts but they are not even getting the same ones we are.  I have to double check my paycheck this time just to see if they are paying me all of my lines. 


CORNERSTONE NJ NO WAY
Cornerstone in NJ is the worst company to work for. She lies, lies, lies. She tells you there is work and as soon as you start making money, she pulls you off the account. She has done this to everyone I know who has ever worked for them. There are plenty of other companies to work for out there.
Cornerstone in WY
Does anybody know anything about Cornerstone in WY?

TIA
Cornerstone
Does anyone have any word on Cornerstone Transcription?

Cornerstone NJ
Whatever you do, do NOT work for them. I am not the only one, but Pam puts you on one account, then when you start making money, she takes you off and puts you on another account. She is a liar, shorts your hours and very nasty. She will start off as your best friend, but it is just an act. The owners won't listen, they say they trust her judgment. There is NO getting through to them. There are other companies out there. Good luck.
I am on Cornerstone
n/m
We will all be on Cornerstone
They are forcing this on all of us. Personally, i do not like this platform and find it hard to make a decent line count. I know my supe said that she loved this platform. However, if you are trying to make a living it is a different story.
Cornerstone
I think they added a couple of things but basically made it worse. They need to throw it in the scrap heap. You did the right thing by leaving.
Anybody know anything about Cornerstone

Cornerstone (CUE)
Search the archives on here under Spheris and you will read plenty regarding Cornerstone, SR/VR, etc., etc.
IT and Cornerstone
Originally we were told we would have to convert our IT files to Shorthand, but by the time I was trained on Cornerstone they had decided to make IT compatible with it, which made the transition from the HITS platform to Cornerstone much easier. From the few minutes I spent looking at Shorthand, it did not look as easy to use as IT, but that may have been just because I was already very proficient at IT.
Cornerstone?

Any info on Cornerstone (CTS) in WY?
I've looked back in the archives and there isn't much info.  Just curious about pay rate, if they have enough work, if they offshore, how is management, etc. 
There is a Cornerstone Transcription in
If there is anything else you need to know, please e mail. (I live in Cheyenne).
Is Cornerstone the same as Clarity?
I quit right before they were switching us from TWS to Clarity.  Is this something new - did they scrap Clarity, rename it, or bring in something in addition to?
There is really nothing wrong with Cornerstone
Not that I have experienced anyway. Platform is easy to use and extremely compatible with VR...it just gets better all the time. They are always adding new features and VR is learning more and getting easier every day.
I don't have problems with Cornerstone
Lots of people complain about Cornerstone, but I really haven't found it to be slow or to be that big of a problem at all. The days I don't hit my personal goal for lines (2600), is generally due to lack of work, but not the platform. Lately there has been plenty of work most days and I've even gone over my goal some days. I keep trying to figure out why people are having problems with the platform. I have a lot of problems with the company as a whole, but the platform is the least of my worries.

They generally do come out with an update on the platform every 6 months, but those are generally good changes. It is a work in progress and I don't have a problem with them making updates that are beneficial.

Thanks


MDI-FL and Cornerstone Professional Services

Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services.  I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear  how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them.  Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.

Any recent info about Cornerstone Professional Services of New Jersey??
Would love to hear some very RECENT information about this company, regarding staff, pay rate, workflow, ease of platform, etc.  Only found old information in archives.  If you don't want to share on the board, please email me. Thanks for your help.
I still feel like a team player of Spheris, as the shackle scars are still on my legs! Spheris was

Micromanaged to the microsecond, or ms!  Horrible. And part of a team?  Total opposite - part of a team as in prison.


Don't imply you're worried at all. Just stating fact that Spheris does NOT allow a Spheris MT
work concurrently for MQ - no exceptions.  MQ, on the other hand, does not have the same feelings as Spheris.  Just all I had to say so that MTs aren't misled into thinking they can do the same "legally". Even went to the ropes on this issue with Spheris, as I was professional as well, and wouldn't share info, etc. The point they raised was that MQ is their direct #1 competition, and if I was typing for MQ and doing great work, that was in direct conflict of interest with Spheris' best interests.  Guess which one I obviously stuck with!!
Thank you, Spheris recruiter! Anybody wanna place a bet that there are lots of Spheris
HELP WANTED ads on the job board?? So funny!! Out of the blue, Spheris, we love you!! Lets all run and apply NOW!!
I also know Spheris would fire you if they knew you worked for MQ. That is a BIG NO with Spheris!

Spheris - any spheris employees out there care to s/m
comment on the new Cornerstone platform, good, bad? Will we all be going to SR on this? Thanks.
My experience with Spheris isn't bad at all. I have been with Spheris sm
6 months and already have 40 hours PTO. I was shocked.  Spheris is a  great company.  After 90 days I did get my sign on bonus and didn't even have to ask.  There is soooooooooooooooo much that Spheris offer I wasn't even aware of.  I am so glad that I didn't listen to the negative posts on this board in regards to Spheris because I am a happy camper.
MQ vs Spheris
I worked for MQ about 5 years ago. I wouldn't recommend them. Not enough time to go into it. I understand things may have changed, but I still wouldn't recommend them. From what I've read on boards, they haven't changed.

I've been with Spheris for almost three months now and I really like it. I'm making good money working Mon-Fri and I'm not getting hounded by a supervisor for petty stuff. I enjoy working for Spheris. I say, give them a try!
Spheris is

Spheris is hiring for all shifts, PT and FT, acute and clinic.  I've been with them for about a year now and am really happy there, after having worked for 2 other nationals that I didn't have such great experiences with.

I'd be happy to pass your resume along to a recruiter, if you'd like, or answer any questions you have.  My email is carasoffice@yahoo.com.


Good luck!


Spheris...
They tell everyone that - not to say you are not a good MT.  But I was too, but when I reapplied, they said no - I think because all their new Spheris management is installed now, the ex-Edix management is probably gone (except those who fit in with the new regime), and they just don't want to be bothered with ex-Edix people.  Just my theory.  At any rate, plenty of us have posted on this board, so it is obvious that most if not all of us are not being rehired.
Try Spheris. NM

Spheris
TO: MTMQ... Why are YOU making this business? Are you the board monitor. It's none of your business what anyone Or when anyone posts on this board.
Spheris
And just how they going to get anyone's identity on here. What she is doing is NOT dishonest, It's smart because even if they do find out, she has another job to cover herself. BusyMT'ing is diong the right thing by protecting Her interests, which you have to do in this dog-eat-dog MT world. My hats off to you BusyMT'ing. You go girl. And if you really think about every MT company is competition for another MT company no matter how you look it. If one is independent, no company has any say what you do.. IC is the way to go. More pay and you answer to no one but yourself...
Yes, we will see. Spheris has only
acquired one company. Spheris was formed with the merger of Total eMed and EDiX. So, Spheris itself has only made one acquisition - HealthScribe/Acivis.

I think they have to get this acquisition settled before buying anything else and when/if they do make another purchase, I think it will be more global oriented, not US-based like MQ is. That is strictly my perspective.
OSI or Spheris
My husband came home on Friday and said he was going to be laid off soon.  I am still trying to accept this and what it means to our family budget.  I got a job offer from Spheris and OSi to begin in their mentor programs.  I am really lost and don't know which would be better for my family.  Please everyone give me the heads up on both companies.   I know Spheris offshores, but have plenty of work.  OSI seems to be running out of work.  Which program should I choose.  Both recruiters tell me their companies have plenty of work.  HELP
Spheris or OSI
OSI pays better than Spheris. I work at OSi on an account that runs out of work but I can make $500-600/wk...I worked for a lady locally and used to make $1000/wk on the same account, but she lost the account to OSI, and they keep a little more for themselves if you see what I mean. I know someone who worked at Spheris and only made $300-400 week, and then she made $600 wk at OSI. And let's just say her speed didn't bring her down.
re: spheris
I currently work for Spheris. I find their platform makes it difficult to get a decent line count.... it feels like I type alot more then what the platform tells me??
why Spheris...

MQ or Spheris
Keep looking. Don't go with either. You'll be sorry if you do. Have been with both and there are better options out there.
Spheris
It's great if you have 20 years experience and like to make 8 dollars an hour.  They formulate it that way, so even if you get a raise, you get yet another pay cut.  McDonalds is sounding pretty good right about now!
I like it at Spheris
It amazes me how rumors fly around here - chained to the chair?  I don't think so!  I take breaks when  and as often as I want.  No clocking in and out for breaks.  I like the company and am quite happy there.
Spheris
Yes, Spheris is currently hiring for radiology. They are a good company to work for supplies computer and reimbursement for phone service. Good benefits, too.
