Anyone know anything about the University of
Wisconsin ad on mtjobs? Anyone work for them now or in the past? Just curious-might be interested in applying. Thanks. You can email me privately if you like.
I know this University
Never worked for Diskwriter, but did work for UPMC (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, used to be Presbyterian Medical Center) for several years. This is a large teaching institution with high ESLs. They were the first in the country to do heart transplants with Dr. Starzel and his group. That was when heart transplant was experimental.
If you have heavy experience with ESLs, you'll do fine.
I'm not sure who the other university hospitals use but
I never see anything on their sites or on CareerBuilder about hiring in-house MT's so apparently they're all using an outside service of some type. Most hospitals I've worked in-house for use Medquist and another service at the same time (without Medquist's knowledge).
The only Phila. area hospital I've ever seen advertising for in-house MT's is Cooper in Camden, NJ (across the river from Philly).
Hahnemann University uses MQ, sm
Last I knew,
Temple University Health System uses MQ.
Thomas Jefferson Health System uses MQ.
Crozer Keystone Health System uses MQ.
Chester County Hospital uses MQ and a smaller service, don't know the name.
Most phyician practices in Delco use RX transcription out of Newtown Square, or ProType - Maureen I think is her name.
St. Christopher's, last I knew, was with MQ.
Did I forget any?
I wonder if it would be possible to find a university that would need an experienced MT to just do
OR reports. Is this possible.
all the more reason to go to an accredited college or university
and earning potential rather than waste time and money on some fly-by-night crappola that has no credibility.
Anyone here work inhouse at Stanford University? - sm
Or know someone who does? If so, any comments, pro or con, about working there? I'm moving to that area soon, and was wondering if they're hiring.
Anyone here for for University of Kansas Medical Center? Please let me know. Thanks.
I work at home for a national now and I'm wondering if KU outsources or does in-house and about their benefits. Not a newbie, have 11 years experience in acute care. Rock chalk!
You had better believe it. Working 12 years in a huge university and now offered 8 cpl. nm
:
That is terrible. You know, those women have no idea how to handle all these big university accounts
that are moving up there. They are very very wrong about some of the things they do and it seems like they really dont know as much as they would like you to think they do. That is absolutely disgusting that they did that. I hope that MT reported them to anyone in New Jersey they could find. I would have taken that as far as I could have if I would have been her to the CEO. That is just horrendous. My goodness, why does MQ continue with them. I believe firmly if you make enough calls you will find someone that is willing to listen and take the info where it needs to go I believe that.
University of Iowa Med Center announced layoffs yesterday
I think the news report said they were getting rid of 130 people now, a total of 200 this year. Fortunately (their word, not mine), they're not going to have to make any cuts in people who have patient contact but in administrative areas (that'd be us). Truthfully, I'm not sure if they even still have in-house transcriptionists, but you know that if they do, they'll be the first to get their marching papers.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System Hospitals is huge in Philadelphia. Do they hire their
own MTs for those hospitals does anyone know. They must have a large amount of transcription to be done.

TSI in Texas
I worked in a hospital where TSI picked up the overflow. I worked with them for a couple of years before quitting that job. I got hired on with them a year or two later. I turned my notice on day #90. Disorganized. Too much down time. Poor technical support. Marketing rep making promises MTs could not deliver on. Swapped around on accounts left and right, each time waiting up to 3 days for tech support to make the adjustments on their end. Poor sound quality. Difficult platform. And don't get me started on the attitude of the owner (long private story).
This used to be TSI out of Texas
Check the boards! I worked for this company and left because of management issues. If you have a problem they don't want to hear anything about it! Not sure if they changed platforms but the one I used was archaic and was paid by the word. You also had to have about 3 phone lines to hook into their system. Was a real pain!
TEXAS...nm
Plano, Texas
MTS of Texas
I don't see very much about MTs of Texas. If anyone out there is currently working for them or you are familiar with them, I would appreciate it if you share. Thanks in advance.
I think they are all in Texas. nm

Anyone from MTs of Texas?
I just accepted a position with MTs of Texas and am very excited. Anyone else from MTS of Texas? Looking to network with fellow colleagues. 
MTS of Texas
Would like to hear from present and past transcriptionists regarding this company. Good and bad, i.e., does getting paid by the minute earn you a good pay check, good accounts, platforms, etc. Thanks for your time.
Thanks. No, not in Texas. NM

DALLAS, TEXAS ANYONE
Does anyone know what some of the nicest areas are in Dallas?
A company in Texas.

SmartMed used to be TSI, Inc from Texas. nm

No, the company is not in Texas.
.
In Texas by any chance?
nm
Scribeix in Texas?
Opinions anyone?
Definitely Transtech. The one in Texas. They are not the same
company.
Really?! I thought they were in Texas.
At least that was the impression I got from talking to the recruiter. 
Medscript in Texas
anybody know anything about medscript in texas? Based in houston, has offices in dallas and tyler.
Aren't they out of Texas
TransTech is in Texas. TTS is in

Does anyone type on Texas
Are there alot of ESLs on the Texas account?
To Texas Girl...
Actually, my BOB - 10+ accounts for which I have 3 primary accounts out of - has standardized client profiles, no need look at client profile for each account or try to remember different rules. All now have the same formatting rules and ADT info requirements and very few dictator-specific differences. I realize that not all service areas have done this yet and not all areas of MQ are managed the same and I probably would not be as happy if I were in one of those, but I stuck it out and they made the changes promised in my area and I am now so much more productive. The accounts are better than I had before MQ as far as number of ESL and other difficult dictators, the ASR reports on average are good and I can more than make up for the 30% cut in pay on them - only get on average 5 or 6 a day though.
I guess it depends on where you end up when hired at MQ how good or bad things are. I have moved around a lot over many years in this business and probably will stay here until retirement if I am able - depending on what happens with CBay and all. I have found the right fit for me with MQ with adequate pay, the schedule I want, plenty of work, reliable paycheck and PTO - a big plus after a stint being IC, and nobody hanging over my shoulder watching my every move. The only time I ever hear from anybody is in answer to a question I have asked and the daily TAT logs from my PS. That is the way I like it, leave me alone to do my thing. I have no reason to leave.
I am glad you found the right place for you, having only one account that is always busy is the best situation to be in. You are lucky because that is not so easy to find anymore. 
You definitely did NOT want the Texas account
Can you say ESL, I knew you could.
Tyler Texas
Was this acct in Tyler, Texas? Where my friend works they lost some of their work to Transcend and she lives in Texas.
Texas Hospitals
I am currently working for a Texas Hospital as well. They are not even open as they do not have power and are not sure WHEN they will be back. So my work has been NONE since about the same time frame.
Here is to hoping there are better times ahead for our Texas Hospitals and for all the Texas Hospital Transcriptionists.
Any info on MTs of Texas
 I am looking for Radiology information specifically, but any info would be fantastic!!
Thanks so much!
Not slow in Texas.
HI: My account is in Texas, but not the company. No we are not slow. Try applying with KS. I think they are hiring too. Have to warn you that it is a very hard account. Old veteran MT's are stressed out from working there. They demand that you are fast, very accurate, which you should be anyway and also willing to work at any time if they are overloaded with work. I kid you not. They will call you too on your days off to get more help. OH WELL. So if this sounds good to you, go for it.
I HOPE IT'S IN TEXAS!!! nm

Why in Texas specifically? I would think - SM
labor laws would pretty much encompass the entire US, e.g., minimum wage laws apply in all 50 states, laws regarding overtime pay, etc. The rampant abuse MTSOs have been allowed to get away with affects MTs EVERYWHERE, from sea to shining sea ... MTs in OK, NJ, FL, OR, NC, I could go on and on... all of them have bills to pay, children to feed, and these MTSOs in sheeps clothing likewise lurk in all corners of the country. 
SurgicalNotes out of Texas?
Just wondering if anyone has any information on them, works for them, knows someone that works for them, etc?
Just got a job offer from them but really don't want to walk into yet another company that isn't worth the headache. The $$$ is very tempting but want some facts first.
Thanks
Transcription Solutions, Texas
Does anyone have any current information on Transcription Solutions, Texas - radiology or acute care. How are they to work for. How is pay rate compared to others? TIA
Anybody have any experience with Mediscript, Texas? nm

6000 lines for SE in Texas
my region requires 6000 lines for SE, which i think sucks. I was lied to months ago. they said that all offices were going to require 6000 lines for SE's across the board. I don't know what would make me think they were telling the truth!!
Anybody know anything about MedTrans Unlimited out of Texas?
What cpl rate do they offer? Any info greatly appreciated.
Would this be the Texas or the Arizona MedTrans? Thx. nm

TransTech is in Texas -yes they are flexible, as far as (sm)
choosing your hours, but they would like you to be on when you say you are going to be unless you notify them. I have not had any problems at all. I've had to leave several times and I just let them know. They have an ad on the job board with their email address. They need a lot of people.
Work as an IC for a company in Texas.nm
