any other website, especially NOT MTStars! We didn't give them your
email id and I have no control over them. Their list is now on
Yahoo, so I guess unsubscribe requests will be honored!:) I am addressing the mail below, and a few related issues which have
cropped up lately. I removed the senders name because it was a
personal mail, but the issue is definitely open to public debate. Quote:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
MT India should primarily focus on MT related issues in general and
also achievements which are unique in nature. At no point of time
it should so happen that some one uses this as an advertisement
platform. The news about Healthscribe using a handheld recorder is
something like this. Almost all are using equipment's of this
kind. Somewhere the product and the company is getting a mileage
which they do not deserve. It is so ordinary a thing to find a
mention. Also I am not very much in favor of job related ads in MT India
which encourages a trend we are trying to fight out.
------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll take up a point at a time: 1. MTIndia is primarily focussed towards MT. But lately we are also
trying to bring to your notice other BPO opportunities in the US
Healthcare Industry. I thought that would be a value add - if
members are not happy, we can shift these issues to a different
list. My opinion is that as of now, this would be immature. 2. Coverage of events - I don't think myself or MTIndia have ever
endorsed anything on this medium. Sometimes nothing is happening -
so should we stop publishing? Also the news we generally carry are
clips from what has already been released and published by the
media. If someone is making a mundane, run-of-the-mill statement,
as a reader I would logically conclude that they don't have
anything better to say :). Nevertheless, we will always strive to
give you the most relevant and interesting information. Just a
point, I hope you will agree with me here - we don't make news -
we just cover it! And there are those dull days:( 3. Advertising and promotions - This is allowed by all rules of the
game. Our only promise to you is an advertisement will be spelt
out to you in Black & White. We will never allow content and
advertisement to be confused in any area - and this policy shall
prevail. (BTW - another fact - HealthScribe has NOT YET contributed
a single penny to MTIndia's efforts - so we don't
even have a motive angle:) 4. And now, I guess I am playing with fire - but I am entitled to
my opinions I guess. a) Job Ads - They have always been there and they are going to
stay. This is a service to both employers and employees. I don't
see why this targeted niche medium should ban job ads related to
placements in this sector. If a prospective employer wants to offer
more than he should - that is his problem - we can't correct that!
Same goes for an employee - a dissatisfied employee will always
find a way out. Just because this medium is facilitating the
placement market - I do not qualify as a poacher. There has to be a
rational comprehension of the term "poaching" when it comes to
recruitment. b) Dual Employment - It works in some sectors, doesn't work in
others. The market tells me that it is already happening for some
time in MT, and MTSOs can't find a way to stop it. I am not talking
ethics here - just facts. The simple rule that shall control this
phenomena is an MTSO's capability of satisfying an employees
needs - financial, intellectual and emotional - completely. If you
are offering a half package, expect a half commitment. On the flip
side, there always will be people who are just plain greedy - why
do you want them anyway? Just weed them out. In conclusion, I want to state a simple fact. If MTIndia does not
facilitate a job center, somebody else will - placement is a basic
requirement. We consider ourselves to have the best reach and
domain knowledge. And we will deal with it as ethically as any
placement center deals with such issues in any Industry. At least
we openly say what we do and vice versa, and that shall remain. Ethics I find is a bit like religion - very difficult to define and
much harder to follow. <Ability - Knowing what you can not do is more important than
knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.
Lucille Ball (1911-1989)> I didn't make the rules out there. Wish I could, but I can't change
them either! So here we go... Regards, Maj (Dr.) Amit Chatterjee, SM

Subject: HIPAA Discussion about HIPAA has been going on for almost a
year-and-a-half now. It is to build firewalls so no one can
intercept and maintain confidentiality. When I visited the US last
year I was told that even MTs doing work from work need to be HIPAA
compliant no matter from where they are transcribing. There are
lots of info available on the web site. Meera Sankriti

[MODERATOR COMMENT] Meera, I have been studying the intricacies for the last two years
now. If it was that simple, believe me, I would have been a HIPAA
consultant today:) <Consulting - If you are not a part of the solution - there's good
money to be made in prolonging the problem.> Best,
Amit C.

Subject: Dual employment Hi Joshua: I understand your viewpoint regarding dual employment. But no,
absolutely no company where you are in for full-time would agree
with this. There are 2 things behind this. First, a company wants an employee to be loyal to them, this is
nothing to do with master-servant relationship, but this should
come out automatically from an employee who is working in a
company of repute and that too full-time. And let me tell you this
that few companies (and yes, in this MT industry even) pays an
incentive for being "loyal" to all of their employee(I think the
company/companies acknowledges loyalty as something extra and vital
it gets from its employee other than the work). Secondly, tell me
as a businessman won't you be interested to know what is going on
in the other company if you do have such an employee (or should I
call an "informer") and also be apprehensive in keeping such an
employee (for the vice-versa to happen to your business). All of the above definitely pertains to somebody going for dual
employment in the same field of work. Hence, I strongly feel that being loyal to one's company makes you
a very good team player and become a vital member of the company
family. Loyalty and Trust are very important for an
employer-employee relationship. I would call them also an
essential tool which helps both (employee and employer) progress
and move ahead to achieve their respective goals. You do not have
to play a dual role. Just think about it!! Regards, Anish

Subject: Conman! Dear Amit and all! As I was going through the MTIndia Newsletter I came across one
gentleman named Apurva Patel's (proprietor of Zenvision Infoworks,
Mumbai), idea about forming an apex body of ITES. I doubt and fear
he would try to form an apex body of conmen like him. I am sorry
to use that term, but the fact is that Apurva Patel cheated more
than 100s of MT aspirants by the name of training and security
deposit. He has been actively involved in different organizations like
Compusys, Indus, Tricom, Zenith, Zenvision, etc. Though the
companies were different but the key role was played by Apurva to
setup an MT unit and charge hefty amount as Training Fees on an
refundable basis, but never kept his words. Not long back he made many companies as his associates and promised
to provide 1000's of lines in a day and started with trial files.
But the trials lasted for months and months without any sign of any
live jobs, thus getting his job done without paying to his
associates. Being a member of MT India I feel responsible to warn all the
people before they associate with Apurva Patel in anyway. Thanks.
