Some time ago we had a discussion of transcription and line counts. It looks as though more users are waking up to the hazards of "line count" as a billing or performance standard. .../t >From AMA News:
http://www.ama-assn.org/amednews/2005/06/27/bil20627.htm "On June 7, Mount Laurel, N.J.-based MedQuist, which bills itself as the world's leading transcription company, announced that it is dropping a line-counting method it characterized as ambiguous in favor of "more verifiable and clearly defined" alternatives. Earlier this year, MedQuist disclosed that problems with its billing system had caused it to overcharge some clients. The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the publicly traded company, which is cooperating with the investigation. But MedQuist's recent moves are unrelated to the company's billing problems, said Terry Cameron, the firm's vice president of marketing." ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
