Aren't they an Indian-based company? - WanderingMT

When I worked at a hospital, we CONSTANTLY had an obviously Indian guy named "Nicholas" call the transcription department and beg for work. They would fax over the requests too and I swear that is the name of the company he represented. They would not take no for an answer and we finally had to turn it over to the hospital attorney to get them to stop.

uhmmmmmmmmmm, no. Not that I am aware of. they are out of new york and started as a family owned transcription company about 50 years ago. they have grown....so maybe they DO deal with india. I am enjoying the work I am getting with them. talked to people on the phone, and never heard any accent other than a hint of that new york-ish accent - maybe.

So, Do I Go With Verbatim (verbatim Account) Or Leave A Blank If
Nov 19, 2010

the doctor is dead wrong about his anatomy? The patient has a problem with his foot and leg, but he dictates ulna. I wouldn't give it a second thought to leaving it blank, but I already got notice about documents with blanks (usually 1-2 blanks if any, and anymore than 3, to QA). Hmm... go with what is right or what is the least path of resistance (i.e. least likely punishment) BTW - The document I sent yesterday with 4 blanks to QA, they couldn't fill them in either. Shesh, the ...


Question About Verbatim... How Far Are We Supposed To Go With Verbatim?
Nov 19, 2014

The reason I ask is because this morning I'm doing an acute care progress note where the dictator says "The patient has end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and she is still sounding pretty crappy and congested."  I absolutely refuse to use the word "crappy" in a medical document if it is not within the context of a direct quote from the patient, i.e. "I feel pretty crappy..."  So I decided to omit crappy and just say "she is still sounding pretty congested."  QA w ...

What Does Verbatim Mean In VR Reports?
Oct 01, 2010

This is almost/sort of a poll. I need to know what verbatim means to you in VR. Do you change any wording? My understanding of verbatim is word-for-word (Merriam-Webster dictionary) unless a sentence does not have proper structure; if the doctor rambles on and puts the word 'and' between words where there should be a period, etc.  (Not included in this is changing mg to mcg in a wrong dosage, changing the medication itself if wrong, or other major medical erros&nbs ...


Which Verbatim Is It? Your's, Mine Or Their's?

Testing... Verbatim?
Jan 15, 2011

If not specified, is it better when taking an employment test to type verbatim or to follow transcription rules? Not asking for a specific test or company, I have just noticed that often times no instructions are given, and I don't know whether they are looking for following transcription/AHDI rules or just running the test next to a template in the system. ...

Verbatim And Account Specifics
Oct 27, 2009

Is it me or what - I was always told to follow account spec and make sure I didn't use the forbidden JCAHO abbreviations. Lately if I look at an old report to get a slurred/muffled word that I can't make heads or tails out of, I've noticed that others on my same account don't follow the specs at all! They do everything verbatim. It totally upsets me.  I noticed it a while back and put it down to a new employee not yet knowing all the specs, but it wasn't as ba ...

Verbatim Accounts And Headings
Dec 09, 2010

I have all verbatim-verbatim accounts and only just now learned that we have to change what the dictator says and change it to an "approved heading."  I was once told this only pertained to non-verbatim accounts, but was just corrected.  I was told that ALL OF THE CHECKED headings in the headings pane must be included in the document.  If the doctor says procedure, you must put in an approved heading into the standard changing what he says if in the approved headings list it says ...


What Do You Guys Do With A Verbatim Acct When Doc
Feb 26, 2011

clearly dictates a sentence that makes absolutely no sense.  Just sort of an open-ended sentence, not even a fragment?  I'm trying so hard to keep the blanks down, which my % is really okay, but I'm finding more and more that these docs are just not making any sense and the mistakes are getting ridiculous!!!  Maybe they are texting when they are dictating........Anyhow, do you just type what they say and send it off or do you mark it for QA? ...


Companies And Verbatim -- Venting
Jul 29, 2012

I started with a company recently, (within the last 2 weeks),  that was all straight typing (yea!), but verbatim and I do mean verbatim.  Most of the reports had the headers built in, and I did them in the order dictated.  However, there were certain things in the operative reports, where they wanted things put in a certain place.  I got that part, after receiving emails from the QA team and put the headers, where I believed they wanted them to be.  The headers that were ...


Transcribing Verbatim Issues
Nov 10, 2012

Even on a verbatim account, would anyone ever transcribe '85 instead of 1985 standing alone within a sentence?  I personally think this is just crazy, especially when the account specifics show dates as mm/dd/yyyy.  But, hey, I'm just an MT.  But in all these years, I have never transcribed a year this way.  Comments?  Thanks.  ...

It Would Be Interesting To Type Exactly Verbatim
Mar 31, 2015

I get so tired of these people slurring everything together, speaking so fast because it's what they always say.  Then we're told by QA, they the same thing over again so you should know what it is.  If I could understand it, I wouldnt leave a blank!!!   We're told not to guess.   Especially lab values or other numbers or values.  No wonder we leave blanks, when we can't tell if it's  180 or 190 because you're speed slurr ...


Well, Guess Verbatim Is Out The Window, Qualified Or Not.

If whatever the doctor said is a little wonky, doesn't make sense or is a bad sentence, you can and will get dinged for typing what the doctor says. Told to leave a blank so you won't get dinged. ...


Transcribed As Dictated On Verbatim Account
Jan 27, 2015

The dictator clearly dictated a word with an apostrophy following it.  The word actually has an accent mark following the last letter, but he specifically dictated an apostrophy.  I got it marked as an error. I don't get it -- it was a verbatim account -- I did what he said - and now it's error.  Frustrated!!!! ...


Apparently, I Just Cannot Type Verbatim! Either That Or QA Is Trying To Drive Me Crazy!
May 17, 2011

I started a second job for extra money and so I'm on 100% QA.  I keep getting feedback for what I consider to be the most inane reasons.  I am old school.  When a dictator starts as sentence "patient is here for..."  I type "The patient is here for ...."  So QA has pinged me several times for not typing "verbatim."  So I've tried to be very conscious and listen very closely.  Now I've gotten feedback where I clearly thought I heard patient, typed ...
