I am an employee of Med-Scribe Information Systems and have been since 2004, that was even before they were employer/employee and I was considered an independent transcriptionist. I had applied on line when I had a move to Florida in 2004 and found the company on the Internet. I was tested and hired. Their idea for training at that time and I'm sure is currently exceptional and detailed. Any transcriptionist will tell you that's an important factor when you're basically working on your own.

Without giving my age away, I'm from an era when we were taught the importance of quality in our work and I believe medical transcription is very, very quality-oriented since it's dealing with the health records of patients. I'm not saying that quantity isn't important for both the customer and Med-Scribe which is stressed to their employees but they're available to be of help if needed, redirection if needed and instructions that have been an important part of their company over the years.

Over my 12 years, I've had several times where my personal problems could have affected my work but Med-Scribe managers and HR were always available to get me through whatever....a family feeling where they cared about me and not that I was disrupting their business day. When I had a problem a few times with my computer (and my prayers didn't seem to be making the computer get any better), I was even called by the president of Med-Scribe who helped me through the situations. In all my years of transcription at various places, never have I had that hands-on help when needed.

When I was asked to say something about Med-Scribe, I didn't want to sound like I was hyper-inflating a company "just because," but then I realized that I would not have continued my employment for so many years if the company wasn't truly worth it. I feel Med-Scribe stands by their dedication to its customers and employees and nowadays you don't find that in too many places.

Over my many years of transcribing, I've been told again and again that I'll probably "drop" on my keyboard and if that's true, I hope I'm working for Med-Scribe at the time.
