Precyse QA
Can anyone tell me how the QA is with this company? I know their QA head person came from Edix and I remember that Edix had gotten to the point you would lose points if you put a comma where they didn't think you needed one.
precyse
How long were you with the other company? My company runs out of work often too. What company are you leaving if you don't mind me asking? I may work for the same! Let us know how precyse works out for you.
Precyse

I don't know anything about this company, but I found the following in archives, hope this helps:

I've worked for Precyse for 3 years and have been in the MT profession for 22+ years.

What I like best about this company: They let me do my job. I chose my shift, I do my job and provide 99% to 100% accuracy on my QA audits, which means they leave me be. I don't have to deal with petty complaints, cherry picking, or jumping around. I have been working on the same 2 accounts the entire time I have been there, which for some reason escapes other nationals what an advantage it is to keep people where they can be most efficient and productive (good for the company, good for the MT). They pay me well and on time, offer bonuses and appreciation gifts. My PC has never been down, so I do not lose time on technical issues---big plus. They don't call me every day asking me to work extra, maybe an Email occasionally, but do not drive me crazy calling or making me feel guilty. In return, they can depend on me to be at my PC when I am scheduled and to produce what is needed.

What I do not like about Precyse: Good question. I'm a pretty happy camper, and that's saying a lot in this business!

I like the fact that I do my job, I'm paid well, and I'm left alone. Computer downtime maybe for 15 minutes here and there, but that is maybe once in a blue moon. I also love their payroll system. They have a system where timesheets are entered online, you can withdraw PTO from your personal account anytime you want to, and you can check online to see what your check will be a few days before it is actually deposited in your account. So you can budget and plan accordingly. Also, great people to work with. Everyone is a team, and management is extremely helpful. I won't paint Precyse as the "perfect" company, but honestly I don't have any complaints working for them.

Precyse

 


I would rather not name the company I am leaving.  I haven't notified them yet that I'm leaving (the owner is in Hawaii at the AAMC convention) and my e-mail address is somewhat obvious.  I'm fairly new as far as working from home.  I only started from home at the end of December 2004.  Prior to that I worked in-house at a clinic.   When I took this job,  the owner said I would NEVER run out of work.  Unfortunately I have, and more than once.   I will let you know what happens with Precyse.  JW


DSG and Precyse to name 2

Not Precyse. No way, never.
Just thinking about Precyse creeps me out. Managers double dip and transcribe leaving the ugly work for MTs.
Precyse
Thanks for the info! I'd like to start out part-time with a company and then if everything goes well, go full-time. I just don't want to leave my present company in case things are worse elsewhere. :)
Precyse
That is what I did. I was working FT for a hospital and then I thought I wanted to retire and I just worked PT for Precyse while I had my full-time job. I stayed at Precyse for about 1-1/2 years and then got back into a hospital as a full-time employee getting paid by the hour plus incentive. Pauline
EIN - Precyse
Does anyone know the EIN for Precyse Solutions?  Thanks.
Precyse Solutions
I am about to accept a position with Precyse Solutions.  I'm leaving the company I was with because they run out of work too frequently.  I had no work at all last week and I need to pay bills.  Can anyone tell me if Precyse is as great as it sounds?   Thanks,  JW ');>
Precyse Info

Precyse is a good fit for me and I plan to stay with them.  It all depends on what you are looking for.  You can Email me with specific questions and I will be happy to tell you anything I can. 


She was at Precyse about 1-2 years ago. She may still be there. nm

Isn't there something someone can do about FALSE ADVERTISING?
Precyse -- right?? Got the same e-mail and SM
going through the same thing. There are days I get so upset about lack of work and my e-mails not being answered, that I'm about reduced to tears. I am so tired of seeing "thank you for your patience."
I used to QA at Precyse Solutions
and can tell you that the offshore work went through several layers of their own QA and still would have major errors when I got it. I can only imagine how horrible the reports are before their QA edits them.

I got sick of doing QA on the offshore reports and left.
Feedback on Precyse Solutions?

Does anybody know anything good or bad about this company?  I am looking for a good MT employment position, and I have been burned before (by Voice Systems--they don't pay!).

PRECYSE SOLUTIONS---PS MT EXASPERATED--SM

Tonight an ad posted on MT Jobs 03/24/2006 claims tons of work available, yet I know for a fact quite a few MTs have had little to no work for 4 out of the last 6 weeks.  Any current PS MTs out there having the same problem?  If so, do you have any insight as to why?


Precyse. Good, bad, ugly?

thanks!


Any Info on Precyse Solutions?
Just curious if anyone knows what may be happening at Precyse Solutions.  I have heard they are cutting back on their benefits, as in not matching 401K plan any longer.  Is it possible they are being approached by a buyer and cutting back to beef up their profit margin?  I was looking into working for them, but if there is instability there, I'd rather weigh my options more carefully. 
Precyse and SoftScript offer dial up, too. nm

Last notes I had said Spheris, Precyse at 37K+ speed, and

Can find Spheris, Precyse only if 37K or faster, & SoftScript so far. Sorry. nm

And is QA allowed to let her know
about these errors? Or is the company afraid she'll be offended if errors are pointed out? Some people get very upset when they are corrected, so I always wonder if anybody has the courage to pass on corrections to good producers who might go elsewhere if they get offended.
And is QA allowed to let her know...

I've been reading with much interest all the debate going on about QA but this particular post really caught my eye.


As a former MT/supervisor/QA employee in a major MTSO and having differences in the amount of MT training of my staff, which would determine how I would mark a QA error, I also used the "how would I feel" quotient.  Were the remarks I might make be taken the wrong way; after all, I was just trying to "educate!"


I still feel passionately that all employees, MTs and all, should be treated fairly and with dignity without taking into account whether a person might or might not leave.  In today's MT market, sometimes we "step on toes" because we're human, but I would like to think that most MTs just continue to love what they're doing---even in the bad times.  When compassion and yes sheer joy for the job dissipates, then it's time to move on! 


This is not allowed at our school.

They used to have volunteers, but these volunteers were given assignments in various areas.  Now the parents have to drop the kids off outside and drive on.  If a parent needs to come inside, he goes to the office, not to the student's room.


Not allowed at our schools either. sm

You can volunteer and go in and do reading with the kids, etc., but all visitors need to check in with the office and any "in class" volunteering needs to be approved by the teacher and the principal.


I have found this a good thing in light of the world changing.  Fathers have shown up in the past to get their child when a protection order had been filed and they were not allowed to have unsupervised visitation. Of course the mom would forget to inform the school and the kids would always run to daddy.


I have one child left in the elementary school, my older two have graduated and one will be a freshman in high school starting day after tomorrow. (Yay! can't wait to see that bus! :)) I have seen a lot of changes, both with parents and with policies.  The staff at the elementary school know me by name, but I would never dream of picking up my child without checking with the office first.  Every time I check in, the office staff says, "Oh hi!  Go on up to the classroom."  I still check in after 18 years. 


These parents that interfere should be told to sign up for when volunteer help is needed in the classroom or other areas of the school. And only then.  They need to stay out of it.  If they're so worried about "little Bobby" and have so much time on their hands, they should home school and leave the teachers to do what they do best. I've been through 25 elementary school teachers and only had a problem with one who was finally fired. 


No way is my dog allowed in my office.

I'm working in here, not entertaining my pet.  I love him to death, but this is my workplace, not a hangout for my dog, my cats or my kids.


But I know what you mean.  I miss my pup when I'm working.  It was just too hard to deal with so he was banished from my office along with the 2 cats.  Too much fur on the carpet for one thing and, like you, every time I got up, my dog thought it was time to play or go for a walk.


My only other suggestion is a "porta potty"?


You are not allowed to work
more than 40 hours in a week; Sunday through Saturday; that is considered overtime and they will not pay you for overtime; you will get a WARNING.

If you work 40.5 hours one week and 39.5 hours the next, which equals 80 hours for the pay period, you are over and that is a NO NO.

Gladly would add a little here and there but you cannot without permission and after 40 hours for the week we are wiped out from switching from account to account to account, etc., etc.
No cherrypicking allowed here, but....

I know some reports do get shot back into the pool now and then.  Luckily for me, they're nearly always LONG reports by my favorite dictators (ESLs are my specialty), so I don't complain at all.   However, the rule here, which is hard to enforce, is that any skipped jobs or cherrypicking is grounds for being severely chastised for the first offense and immediate termination for the second. 


IMO, why not just type it and be done with it????   Doing that takes less time than anything else, and time is $.


Are you allowed to work outside your sm
schedule to get in your line count if you can't get it done in 8 hours or do you automatically lose your benefits?
Sorry - did not realize I was not allowed to do that. Really, sorry..nm
nm
Not a mom, but mine allowed me when I was

My cats were allowed outside until...
I got tired of all the medical bills due to things they were picking up from other animals that were outside and were not being taken care of. The last straw was the last episode of worms, which were roundworms. Having kids, I cannot take the chance of them getting sick due to this. Also, I had a stray cat I fed all the time and took care of because the neighbor just left it when she moved, not to mention the fact that she didn't care for it while she lived there. We were moving and found someone who would take the cat, but only if he was fixed. We were going to fix him, but noticed his glands were very swollen. Turns out he had feline leukemia. I put him down, cried the whole time, and came home and buried him by myself while the kids were gone. I was soooooo angry. While my cats have their shots, that is a chance I am not willing to take. I have had my oldest cat for 11 years now and he is like a kid to me. I am very much for animal rights and go above and beyond to help animals in need, much to my husband's dismay, but there are times when not letting your animals outside is justified. My dogs are inside/outside dogs, but they cannot get over the fence....the cats can.
Venting is allowed. :o}
You go right ahead. I had a sweet ESL lady today. I actually liked her accent because she at least said all the syllables for me, but I could tell she was putting in an extra effort with certain words to help. It was so sweet of her. Wish the spanish accent dictators would do that for me, LOL.
We are not allowed to keep any patient sm
records on our computers, at all.  They should be stored in the provider's files if they want to keep them for access. 
Are we allowed to swear? I can't believe that!
If that is the quality of the transcription they are getting back, how on earth are they passing audits with hospitals?

I just do not get it.
We are not allowed to put the patient's
name in a record and only "the patient" if dictated.
US should have never allowed it in the first place
for our records to be handled outside of the US. I think the terrorism thing is everywhere; as another poster said, we have had them here. This issue is about the US taking money out of our hands, then expecting us to work for beans AND improve a failing economy? Impossible. Hopefully at some point the people who can do anything about outsourcing (government) will realize this and bring MT and many other industries back where they belong.
is b.i.d. allowed anymore? sm
I'm not trying to be a smart a@@ but that BOS has me nuts, I thought they only allowed once a day, twice a day, etc., I'm confused. Do all companies go by the BOS or do they allow verbatim?
Where I work, we are not allowed to put
in patient names, but we do put in relatives' names. Sometimes it is important to know which relative is POA, contact, etc. and those are included.
When I first started we were not allowed
to put Expanders on their equipment. We were told it was grounds for termination. Not too long after they put expanders programs into all their computers. They realized that the work could get done faster with expanders. If they don't want you to use them DON'T. Let's see how long it will last when they are not getting their reports back fast enough.
Why is this being allowed to happen, isn't it eventually
If American workers are forced out of their jobs so foreigners can work for cheap, making the owners of these companies richer, what happens to consumption?  The avg American is too poor to consume much, driving other American businesses into the ground.  Soon it will be a monopoly, there will be no middle class, just poverty and the filthy rich making money off foreigners.
We are allowed to send up to 2 blanks SM
per job without having to route it to QA--I can't remember the last time I had to, it might have been about 3 months ago.
I am not allowed to say where I work on this board.

Does anyone remember only being allowed to gas up on odd or even days sm
back in the 70s, depending on what number your license plate ended in?  brrrrrrr  long, long lines
So no one is allowed to have an opinion that differs from your own?
So immature, and showing such a lack of knowing how to argue a point effectively.
Thanks for the validation. After seeing other stuff allowed on
I wonder what is going on.  Thanks again.
Just left a national that allowed that...sm
I sent an e-mail about this, along with my evidence, as well as a couple of other problems I was having. Unfortunately, the person who was my contact person or "leader" was the top cherrypicker, and the e-mail reply never addressed that issue!

I was just hired by a company that assigns you one doctor (with option to cross-train for sick, vacation, etc.) I think I'm going to be more productive this way.
