"Some I don't have at all, BUT not because I lost them, because they weren't dictated. I keep a physical list of all reports on each tape I do and if it's not on the tape, it's not on the list. I mentioned this to the sec. once before in my defense when she's said "he dictated such and such" when he actually only thought he did or accidentally taped over it something, kwim? "
This happens with my doc. He swears he dictates it "because I put a checkmark on the file". But when? Before or after he dictates? He doesn't tell me. It got to the point that I would not erase the tapes (when he was doing tapes) and if there was dictation missing, he could easily check it himself. Also, it could be that there may be someone in the office throwing out the dictation because there is no patient name on it (I have no patient list and have to go by his dictated names). I'm sure that was done to me if the secretaries couldn't figure out which patient it was.
It aggravates me when he tells me "re-dictation"; well, actually, grates on my nerves because it looks like my mistake when it's not. Yet, I have to put 're-dictation' under the heading so he knows it was "redone."  |
