PAST - Gwen

They said we would be able to look up past reports on specific patients and by specific docs, but I don't know how. Anyone? ...

Does anyone use EMDAT or have in the past? What do you think about it? Thanks for any information. ...

I just remembered the Impact Room. I wonder how many trial-and-error programs we've been through over the past couple years. They must have a whole team of people who sit around all day and come up with one scheme after another, all of which are eventually scrapped. ...

Rigor mortis had passed/past in all extremities. ...

used a 5-French Glide catheter and thru this passed a Spartacore wire into the popliteal artery past the stenosis.....Is this correct or am I losing my mind with these passed/past??? ...

It is about group being out of work. Just curious. ...

For those of you who have been wondering about "past pointing", it really is that. The doctor actually spelled it out! ...

I was going to go with I&Dd, but that doesn't look right. Or spelled out would be "The patient had an abscess that was incision and drained"? That doesn't look right either, but just unsure. ...

People are not doing a full listen/correction. There are some pretty blatant errors, and these errors are being repeated by subsequently dictating physicians who are obviously using other documents for information (as it should be). Blatant errors such as allergy to medications that don't even exit, blatant lab errors that are counter to some of the diagnoses. I shamefully admit to not doing a full listen when I first started voice recognition was back in the beginning, but quickly noted ...

I was purging papers and came across an earnings statement from TL in 2001 (yeah, I know, way overdue on cleaning out files). Back then, my base pay was 0.0925 and the 2-week pay after taxes, insurance, 401K was $1100. In comparison, today my base pay pretty much is 0.035 for VR and 0.07 for straight. It is possible to make a higher rate at Nuance, but it is not easy, so I do not expect it. My last take-home pay prior to the holidays was less than $600. Also, my TL line count was 3000 higher for ...

Seizure "s/l seizure in section" X 1. ...

Past medical history is given as below. Not sure if the s/l goes where I put it or not since I don't know what he is talking about. Paraplegia secondary to spinal cord ischemia. status post stenting aortic aneurysm. Iliac artery aneurysms bilaterally. Esophagitis. Umbilical hernia repair. transurethral resection of the prostate. Thoracic aortic stent s/l 6 of 18. Excisional debridement of sacral ulcer right hip ulceration. ...

ED is dictated several times a few of the instances are: Hospitalizations: 1. ED age 13 St. Clair Hospital Monroe 2. 15 years old ED November of that year. 4. 1996 3-week hospitalization in Racine was transferred to Mendota Mental Health Institute on an ED where she remained between May and September of 1996. What does ED stand for? ...

Regarding all the talk about unions below: I once had a very good job, and was a very "Happy MT". I worked inhouse. I made great money. I got vacations, 401K, paid sick days, good healthcare, etc. So one day, while I was happily typing away on my Correcting Selectric, at my great little desk, at my great little job, a union organizer came to visit the department. The hospital was actually considering ha ...

Acute pancreatitis - rule out past/passed sludge. ?? Is it past or passed? Thanks ...

What are the biggest challenges with your position? Do you end up putting in more hours than you feel well compensated for? Does it wear you out trying to keep up with your production as well as do your TL duties? Is it more difficult to get vacation time scheduled as a TL? TY! ...

I've been a newbie since November and hunting for a part time job. I have tried all of the tricks mentioned and still nothing. ...

Hi, I am in the same situation for being a past coder. I coded for about 10 years and then did transcription to raise my family. Now I would very much like to pursue the coding field and get certified. My schedule limits me from taking outside classes as I am working all different hours part time. Is there anything decent that would help me refresh my skills and update them on line in order to pass the certification exam down the road or is that totally out of the questi ...

Has anyone gotten any raises in pay over the past 3 years? I know in these mean, tough times gratitude for having a job is important, but my thankfulness doesn't stop me from knowing that I have not had any increase in my pay since I started more than 2 years ago with the company I work for. I am curious if any transcriptionist who has been steadily working for the same place for the past 2-3-4 years has seen a pay raise. I am frustrated with rising prices ...

I have been away from editscript for a while and have an opportunity to get back on this platform for a new account. Problem is I have forgotten some of the commands. Can someone please tell me how to look up past patient records so I can use that to verify information, etc. Thank you so much in advance for your help. ...

Seems funny to me it is exactly the same score each time. So now what? Are they going to fire me? ...

The patient underwent left *av facial accretion*. I don't have anything else to help figure it out and I can't verify it. ...

not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...

Has training gotten in touch with you yet? Thanks! ...

Really don't understand why they blocked the patient's previous reports...I found that very helpful at times to have access. Just another thing to make our job more difficult! ...

Need help. Typing a past surgery history and sounds like dictator says "hoyt mastectomy, cardiac stent x2, hoyt cataract surgery." My research has turned up nothing on a "hoyt" version of these surgies, so thought it was slang for either "singular" or "both", but still unsure of the word. Any ideas? ...

For those who work at Nuance, are you able to view previously typed reports (for reference) with their platform(s)? I believe I would be using Emdat, though I cannot say for certain. ...
