Using the prior report lookup feature is - downright scary sometimes.

Posted: Mar 15, 2010

I am amazed at the huge mistakes I am seeing in finished reports.

Who hyphenates left hip hemiarthroplasty? (The report shows left-hip hemiarthroplasty).

That's a minor example....

Worrisome.

here is one for you . . . - voice

That one looks to me like - Just Sayin

an ASR error. While the ME should definitely have caught that, there are obviously ones that slip through. ASR is a dangerous thing, IMO.

But really....now from being able to see some of the prior reports, some by MMEs, some not, we are seeing why there were quality concerns. Made my eyebrow raise a bit for sure!

Prior reports from MME view - humm

Very interesting and very happy to see this. It's about time. I was QA, now MME, you would be amazed of the errors that went through to the customer. MMEs get paid by the line too. We only have to fill markers and were told to put blinders on to the other errors unless they REALLY stood out. I'm glad everyone is seeing the concerns we all had that we have no time to fix anymore.

Hahahah. THAT IS DEFINITELY ASR REPORT. - Yep. Been an MT for 25 years.

I left one in as Black pain and should have been back pain. Hello? I knew that and I certainly as heck would not have typed that! But, during the pointers after an ASR class, was told to put the speed up and read very fast. That is what happened with me. At least I will admit it.

ASR report? - I have seen that and took out hyphen

and you know the old saying? Got creamed for it because I took it out. Darn if you do and darn if you don't in this company. It was not left-hip, but something else.

So let me get this straight: I want to put a physician's name in the report. I hit CTRL + N and start typing the last name. Before, it was nice. The search would happen automatically. NOW I have to tell it to search (even for mandatory ADT names when you hit enter to get to the physician lookup)? Why? That is another keystroke that is wasted, and add to that, it was nice before that if you hit the letter 's' it would scroll to all the docs with last name ...

Another idea of MQ's that might sound good in theory but in practice this is totally ridiculous. First off, I can't even get any reports to come up....I tried different variations of entering info into the search, only to get nothing back.....so stupid. Second, do they really think we can do this with how LONG it takes.....first you have to sign out of DQS, then sign back in with a different password to get to DQM? Get out of here! I was hoping that maybe ...

There's a site I'd been referencing for a long time when I couldn't find a doctor through Fluency, which is often. It was always easy, user friendly and reliable, and I could usually find the doctor I was looking for under his or her specialty. Now it's been changed to a newer, sleeker pretty look, but the format for finding a doctor doesn't work and is not helpful at all. For instance, in looking up, say, Pulmonary doctors, it shows an assortment of doctors of variou ...

Just curious if anyone is using it. It is supposed to save us keystrokes (like they really care) but I turned it off after the first 2 lines of my first ASR report. I was wasting more time than usual trying to attach and reattach and didn't see a benefit. I would love to hear if someone has found it beneficial. Otherwise the new 7 is fine. I love being able to change the font size and type to whatever mood strikes me for the day. Same keystrokes to access ...

Am I doing something wrong? Are you supposed to edit the list before or after CTRL-Shift L.

I have a client that will be implementing an Epic EMR. Epic has indicated to them that the providers can dictate a "partial dictation" during a note they are entering. Epic offers them the option to have the transcriptionist transcribe that note directly into Epic. So far, I have only been able to find MTSOs and in-house MTs who use the partial dictation feature, but have kept their old software platform (i.e., eScription, Nuance, etc) and the provider dictates into that s ...

This is dictated in the med list: Xylocaine prn s/l staph coaliginase prior to domomer on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have no idea what this could mean.

The second part seems like a dialysis schedule and the word sounds like it starts with a "d", but can't really hear dialysis. Any ideas?? ...

Here goes, I used to do billing for 10 years but always in the setting of medical offices (PCP, ortho, PT/OT) and also at a medical supply company. I've also been doing MTing during this same time and presently. I haven't done any billing in approximately 2 yrs, so I know that I'm a bit behind as to how the insurance companies are processing claims, and I realize those rules change pretty frequently, especially coding rules pertaining to Medicare/Medicaid. I also have experience ...

We use a Word-based (2003) platform and when the documents are finished, they are automatically uploaded into Meditech. Most of the transcriptionists at our work have hashed out and come up with the best way to number lists that looks nice in Meditech. About half of us use the auto number feature and the rest do not. I have figured out how to customize the auto number feature to the way we want it formatted, but the settings did not stick when I signed ...
