In Reply to: You don' know what you are talking about. My QA score was 99.9. nm - Ex-webber

my STM at Webmedx telling me how pleased they were with my work.   Someone is always wanting to say that you just couldn't cut it when you leave a company, but that wasn't my situation.  Actually the lack of work was a blessing.  I now work for a company whose QA is very strict, even more so than Webmedx, where my score last month was 99.9%, there is lots of work 24/7, and the pay is better.  I was also making my line count after 3 days.  So the story had a happy ending.   When one person leaves that might be chalked up to a quality issue, but when several leave at the same time then that likely isn't the case.  The numbers showed what the workload was like.

Does MedWare post your score in their email to you? How high a score do you need to get hired?Thx.nm
s
company does not answer e-mails or phone calls

Hi guys,


Just wondering if any of you have experienced this.  I use to work for this company full-time.  I went to part-time because we were running out of work and I decided to go back to school (because I am tired of this game with having work and then running out).............


Anyway when I dropped to part-time, my insurance was cancelled (which I know happens) but the premiums are still being taken out of my check.  I have 2 checks now with those premiunms being taken out.............I have called payroll and left e-mails (this lady never responds)............now I am thinking this illegal...........


Feedback please.  I would like to stay on with this company part-time but...........


My very first day wih my current company was like that. All
ESLs and I was totally overwhelmed as I had previously worked on a local account with very few ESLs (company lost the account though).   I told the owner forget it, I couldn't handle it.  She was very supportive, told me that I really did very well ....  I gave it another chance and after having corrected copies I could hear it all clearly and now I can do the same ESL all day long without slowing me down.   I tested very well and I had several ESLs so I guess they thought I could handle them.   I've been with the company 6 years now. 
Can't even get half of that with my current company...
:(
Have you tried talking to the current company? sm
I would try Keystrokes for radiology. They have a lot of work and new accounts. They require 5 yrs experience, but they took me with 3 years, 8 months. I make more there now than with the hospital I was working for.
Why not? If your current company is out of work, you need to find another, and another and another,
you can make a decent weekly income. I've been there and done that, sometimes 5 companies at once, until I finally landed a decent position with consistent workflow.

How do you pay your bills making less than $500 a week?
Perplexed and need some advice regarding current company...
I ran out of work last weekend on my main account and asked for a backup account.  I was told Monday that later this week I would get cross trained on a new account.  I have sent three to four emails with no response as to when we are training.  An obscure email was sent out today to everyone about how all the accounts are low and not to worry about it and we could take the day off and work this weekend or such.  I understand things are slow right now, but having absolutely no response to any of my emails is rather upsetting.  I know I am not their greatest producer, but I do not appreciate being ignored.  Any suggestions other than just sending a resignation email and see if I get a response?  LOL.   Thanks.
Accuscribe-Does anyone have any current info on this company out of SC?

FastChart, anyone with current info on this company...sm

Found lots of stuff in archives, but very old.


Serviss...any current info on this company? NM
xxxxxxxxxx
If your current company has an acute care account ask them
if you could try it, at least do a few files a day to see how you do.   If you do H&Ps and DS they won't be as technical as Ops or consults.  You should already be familiar with lots of meds and probably a lot of the diagnoses and labs, so there wouldn't be lots of looking stuff on.   If the hospital is a teaching hospital forget all the above because then you will have lots more terminology than you have in clinic, lots of new labs/tests, etc.  
Still not great PTO for first year. I get 12 days at current company. NM

Hm, well if that was my score, it was better than a
I have no clue. Maybe someone will come along that knows if that was, in fact, the score or not.
QA score
Honestly, I've never seen a QA score since I've been there. They probably have one somewhere and if it gets too low they probably alert you or something, but I've never seen one. I'll get occasional random QA'd reports to review or occasional emails from QA about remember to do this. I can also go into the system and review ones that I knew I had a hard time with that have already been through QA and review them myself. So, I guess they're strict in a this-report-needs-to-be-perfect way but not in a you're-going-to-get-your-pay-cut-if-you-don't-get-your-commas-in-the-right-place way.
I do know and I score MTs when I QA them sm
I asked for an updated weighted scale the other day and got one. I know where my full time job is my QA runs about 99.7% or a little better. I have been off my game of late and I think I have dropped to 99.4%.

Now...where I QA I go ballistic with errors. I have an MT who will not WILL NOT look up anything. She had Asthmanex for Asmanex and transcribed NovaLog when the doc said Novolin. The insulin problem could be life threatening!!! She has doctor names misspelled all the time when we have an easy datatbase to use. It is not perfect, it is convenient and not hard to use. She has semicolons when commas and periods are better. I have not counted her punctuation otherwise, don't care where she sticks a comma. She can't use a compound modifier properly and she has a habit of hyphenating every instance of a number (q.8.hours. or 3-days time instead of 3 days' time, etc.) I can't score her above 92% at best and she is often at 88%, not acceptable.

I completely agree, punctuation can't get you down to the 80s. I am tough and the MT above might get worse out of others who are sticklers in ways I am not, but still.

Ask for specifics and examples. QA gals are not perfect. We do the best we can.
Rapid Transcript, Inc- Does anyone have any recent info on this company...current/previous employees
I am wondering about anyone who has recently or is currently working for this company...any input is appreciated. There is some Bad talk about non-payment in the search archives from 2003-2004, but no recent talk. Just curious. :)
I'm sure not going to get into a credit score war w/you, BUT....
I can guarantee you that mine is way higher than yours - and it didn't get that way by allowing whomever wanted to look at my credit report to send me a bunch of BS through the mail or call me! I have never heard of the person to whom you referred in your last posting, but I guess there is only one expert or advisor in the world, correct? I will continue to use the freeze on my account and know that I'm protected while you on the other hand..................
You don' know what you are talking about. My QA score was 99.9. nm
 
I was QA'd on training every day I'd see my score.
Did you forget about the training review reports? You review your reports daily on QA during initial time period.
Why should I ask about my score if I passed....sm
Usually one asks why one did not pass.
You didn't score an 80 something just
xx
Yes, and passed with a high score -
but that was a while ago (last summer). I don't know if the test has changed at all. Good luck.
Well I didn't get my score yet but it was ridiculous.
I don't understand it, I've been doing this 20 years and don't necessarily know anatomy like the back of my hand. We are not diagnosticians for pete's sake, we're MTs! If we knew all of that, we wouldn't be typing for peanuts we'd be MDs! LOL. Just a little ridiculous I thought.
It should have instantly sent you a pretty low score.
,
what is the minimum QA score required

Thanks!


Sounds like somebody didn't score too well on their
QA audit!
Execuscribe On-Line Test Score
Hi! I just tested with Execuscribe yesterday and recieved a score of 88%. Does anyone know if this is a passing score?  Thanks!!
I got an email stating my score within a few days.
nm
On that score, you are 100% correct, just slow with the flow.
nm
I didn't receive a score but the test was hard.

I'm almost afraid to ask what I got. 


It would be nice if they would provide an applicant with their test score.

?


Your line count varies based on QA score.
nm
Maybe the trick was to NOT show a score, like the poster below? Who the frig knows?!! I thought
.
Way, way, way too many e-mails
nm
Thank you both for the e-mails.

I cannot, however, use Iscriptor, so that one is out.  I don't have enough memory for Iscriptor, so I am told.  I'm running windows XP.  I was told by another company that I do not have enough memory to run Iscriptor.  Thanks bunches for your replies!!!!! 


how about those e-mails..
that say change is always difficult and getting back on track.   The e-mail I got transferring me to a lower-paid account said that.  I had to get back on track too - had to go. 
E-mails ignored
Never get a reply to e-mails. I've e-mailed a particular person about the same topic on 3 different occasions and have yet to get any kind of response. Not very professional IMO.

Thinking I should resend it with a copy to Transcend stating I've yet to get a response from anyone at MDI and maybe they can answer the question.

I am wondering if I am being encouraged out of the company... My thoughts exactly.
What garbarge!!! How about the e-mails
I have telling me to take the next couple of days off because there is no work.   That place is worse than I thought if you always have work.   Sounds like management is totally incompetent. 
Over 500 e-mails in just over 2 months. How do you have
time to work?   There have been multiple, multiple posts about the poor communication from Precyse.  How questions are asked but never answered.  I wouldn't want to work for a company that sent that many e-mails.   There should be no reason to send that many e-mails, even if they are bulk e-mails. 
I'd like to get in line on the e-mails, tx. NM

Does anyone else have problems getting e-mails
nm
Just forward the e-mails and any
questions you have to your supervisor.
Political e-mails
How timely...I received that type of e-mail today....Wonder if we're at the same place................But yes, it's so inappropriate and offensive, particularly since I don't swing the way of the e-mail.  Even if I agreed, I would still feel it's inappropriate. 
When will you respond to our e-mails?
nm
You never respond to e-mails.

I received several e-mails sm
privately stating some of the same things the others had said. These e-mails are all from experienced MTs with 20+ years experience. I would agree with your post IF the e-mail I had gotten from the recruiter hadn't been worded so strangely. She was very very nice but it was obvious this was a problem with her higher up and she did not agree with it. Its ok but it does aggravate me that they are taking up so many MTs time with their testing and not being up front. I would rather they say they are slow than make up something. I can't say as I would feel comfortable working for a company that would lie up front. I am glad you have a great experience there though. Any job in this economy is a blessing! BTW from the time these posts were done yesterday until this morning, I have had a job offer I think I am going to take. Thanks for your post.
You know - that is the biggest thing I don't like about MDI --the E-mails!
For being an attorney, she certainly can not spell or form sentences correctly!!
Unfortunately, I have to agree that her e-mails and tactics are quite....
unprofessional and annoying. 
Or what about when you get the e-mails that there is too much backlog and D will have to hire..sm
more MTs if you don't get it cleaned up and then you dial into your 3 accounts only to hear requested dictation completed. I don't understand this and it is very frustrating and
500 e-mails in 2 months is overkill. Either they
are horribly disorganized and can't compose 1 e-mail to get out the info, or they have serious issues with accounts/MTs that they are constantly having to send out info.  I don't work for MQ, but my company only sends out e-mails as necessary, at most probably 2 a month.  We get daily QA feedback in our QA file, which is not an e-mail and it pertains to just us, not one mass e-mail.   I do my job and do it well so there is really no need to dozens of e-mails a day, or even a month, from my company.  
I'd like to get info of Med-Scribe too. E-mails are welcome. nm
