Please include sentence the word was used in (sm) - Angie


Posted: Jun 10, 2013

I see so many requests for help with words without providing any info but what the word sounded like.  For most of these it isn't possible to help without knowing the sentence used (changing/omitting anything that would be a HIPAA violation, of course). 

Other details that could help would be patient's diagnoses, type of specialty or what heading it is under (Past Medical History, Allergies, Medications, Social hx, etc).

I also think that..... - Mom22dogs

.....if you do ask for help and get a response, the person who asked the question should research the answer that was given just to make sure it's really the word they want (the person who answered your question could be wrong).

ISR Not Capitalizing First Word In Sentence.
Sep 25, 2014

It just seems that this should be something very easy for the ISR and yet it is continually NOT capitalizing the first word in a sentence - makes editing slow and tedious because of this glitch at times, because you can never trust it. You would think that would be one of the easier things for the ISR to do, so why is this continuing to be a problem I wonder?
