How does ahdi want July 4th? - rc


Posted: Aug 30, 2010

When a Dr is dictating about "July 4th" is it correct to say July 4th? or should it be transcribed as July Fourth?

July 4 - maybe check

Maybe have to check with your client profile, as I have 2 accounts right now, and they both want it different. 07/04/2011 or July 4, 2010. It all depends on what they want.

This is the only thing the BOS 3 has on dates that even comes close to your question:


 


In text, it is preferable to spell out dates in full, writing out the name of the month. However, if dates are used repeatedly and become cumbersome in the record, dates may be expressed using virgule constructions for visual clarity.


Likewise, some facilities have a strong preference for virgule construction in the record and do not want dates spelled out in full. In formal correspondence, they should always be spelled out. In narrative records, follow the guideline above where facility preference is unknown.


When only the month and day are dictated, it is preferable for the medical transcriptionist to add the year, if known.


EXAMPLE


D: The patient was seen on April 4th.
T: The patient was seen on April 4, 2000. (if date is known)


 


Use ordinals when the day of the month precedes the month and is preceded by the; do not use commas.


EXAMPLE


the 4th of April 2001


not


April 4th, 2001


 I  believe “July Fourth” (unless it has direct reference to Independence Day) would not be used.


 


Hope this helps a little.  


 

It would be July 4 per BOS guidelines. However, all - see message

clients are different on how they want their dates. Some July 4, some 7/4, some 07/04/2011 if year is known. Check with client to be sure, not all go by BOS guidelines.

What I Want From AHDI
Jun 14, 2012

People ask me what I want from AHDI or if it's worth being a member. I am a member. I ask myself why I still pay my membership dues and what I hope to get in return for that money. That's a tough question. Years ago I learned from their journal. I met lots of great people at conventions and seminars. Then the journal and web site started being more promotional instead of educational or professional. There was always something new that was going to change our lives if we would just sig ...


Thank You AHDI

MMODAL for taking my profession of being a skilled worker making a living rate, and turning it into a menial, pull them off the street, minimum wage worker. We are the new gutter rats.

AHDI BOS 3

I recently began a new position where they adhere to the AHDI Book of Style 3 guidelines.  Obviously, not having used this version before I was not aware one of the wonderful changes AHDI has made.  I understand AHDI exists to set the standards as one of their main objectives.  I also was under the assumption that AHDI had been made up primarily of MTs (at least that is who made them to start with) and has grown to include MTSOs.  What I find so infuriating and baffling at t ...

AHDI An Advocate?

AHDI And RMT Exam
Dec 05, 2010

I will be graduating from TTC's Medical Transcription class soon so I am now wondering if I should join AHDI and if I should take the RMT.  I have read the information on the AHDI site which of course points to the pros of both. But I have also read posts from seasoned MTs who have not joined AHDI and some of them say that taking the RMT (or CMT for that matter) carries very little, if any, weight when locating a job. I know if you join AHDI while in school you get a discount on member ...


Goodbye, AHDI!

When I was a medical transcription student last winter at a local two-year college, most of us students joined AHDI at the encouragement of our instructors. My membership has expired and in today's mail was a membership renewal request from AHDI. I tossed it in the trash. I can't afford the membership because I can't get a job because AHDI supports offshoring of medical transcription jobs. Goodbye, AHDI. ...

Why Is AHDI A Scam, You Ask?
Aug 28, 2012

It was a get-rich scheme from the very beginning. Brilliant, really. Except that when they championed the offshoring of our work, and the lowering of our wages, they made it so that most MTs with anything between the ears but empty space would question the value of the BOS, the validity of the CMT, and the very existence of this so-called "for-the-MTs" organization.
