Radiology experts - HELP!!

It seems everywhere I check on this I come up with differing opinions, so I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a rather hard-and-fast rule. Are stations and levels standardized now as roman or alpha? For example, is it "station 11R" or "station XIR" lymph nodes? To my non-expert eye, the "11R" is much more reader-friendly but I know things don't always work that way. Has anyone heard if there is a set way the levels and stations are to be transcribed? Any guidance, li ...

I am open to VR and have done it before at my previous job with the same software, dictatphone, and do not find dictaphone bad to do VR at all. The problem is, with this job that I have now, I have been killing myself, I cannot get over 500 lines per day doing VR, and all the accounts are VR. The reason I cannot get above 500 lines is for every job that is a letter, consult, DS, PT, memo, or review, I have to create a new visit ID, look up the physicians ID and location, create that visit ...

Hello all...I'm back on the Bayscribe platform with a new account and haven't used it in ages. My question is, I know there is a Bayscribe page that lists all of the commands, such as accessing the word expander, but I can't seem to locate it. Does anyone have a link to this page so I can copy down the commands? TIA for anyone who can help!!! ...

Sepsis. Diagnosis is sepsis due to pneumonia. The diagnoses are presented in this way: Sepsis due to pneumonia UTI due to E. Coli Now, if you code the sepsis, it will be sepsis unspecified because you do not have an organism documented for the pneumonia or the sepsis (they don't know)038.9, 99591 and 486. If you go to code the UTI with E. Coli, there is an edit that excludes 041.4 with 038.9. Do you put it in, or do you just leave the organism for the UTI ...

So I have all these templates to pull into a single document all the time depending on what the patient is being seen for. I also have to put the name, dob, etc, in a particular place in all of these templates. Is there anyway to make a macro that will ask me the pertinent info up front and then when done it all just populates ready for me to just type? This is in Word by the way. ...

I just had a rather unsettling experience and would like some feedback. If I am wrong, please let me know that, too. I had been to my M.D. for some diagnostic tests. I was out this morning and when I returned, the doc's assistant had called and left the information--including my test names and results--on the answering device for my phone. We have household help and I am not the only family member who lives here. No one else was in my house at the t ...

Ok, so I dived in and signed up for the free trial of Shorthand. My question is, is it better to go ahead and begin using it while working immediately, or would you recommend practicing with it in Word before instituting it into actual reports? Also, is there any way to transfer what is stored in my AutoCorrect directly into Shorthand so I'm starting over from square 1? TIA for any helpful hints to get up to speed on this you can offer :-) ...

First, would like to say to anyone considering Andrews, I have been in the program for 5 months now and STRONGLY recommend the school to any doubters. I have been an MT for 15 years and decided it was time for a change. After thoroughly evaluating the multiple pathways to coding (RHIT first, local community college 6-month course and Andrews), I made the Andrews choice and am very pleased with my decision. Linda Andrews is very accessible, the instructors helpful and patient, a ...

When I open abbreviations to edit/add, every time you close after adding one, then open it again to add another, it seems to take forever. Is there any way to speed this process up? I have decent internet, nothing else is slow. When I transcribe, the program itself goes well. It's only the abbreviation section that's so poky. Any ideas how to make this go faster, the adding abbreviations? ...

My account has capped and bolded headings. For some reason, VR NEVER bolds. I guess it isn't capable of doing so! Is there any way to set up a macro to bold like maybe all headings or bold words in caps or anything like that? Even bold from the : to the beginning of the line maybe? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up. There used to be a webpage for help with macros and shortcuts but I don't recall what it was. Does anyone know what I am tal ...

I just downloaded a free trial of a medical/pharmaceutical dictionary and when I went to import it into my custom dictionaries, it says it must be converted to a Unicode document before importing. I'm confused...Does anyone know what this means or how to "convert" it to Unicode? I'm totally new to MSO 2010, so any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! ...

I'm fairly new to working with MQ, but is it just me, or do the feedbacks from QA come back very frequently contradicting the information from the client profiles and samples in the respository? I finally called up and asked what the hay was up. I cited and was able to back up many of my complaints (year-old, changed to year old, than on another year old, changed to year-old; commas in then commas out, surgeon name in, then surgeon's name out...) More often than not, the " ...

Does anyone besides me think that the radiology ASR stinks. On almost every report I am having to change/correct every third or fourth word. And is an, punctuation where it doesn't belong, words left out that are dictated, words put in that are not dictated, etc, etc, etc. ...

I have been working acute care for the last 5 years and getting paid by the line. I haven't done radiology in a few years, and when I was working in radiology I always got paid by the hour. Now a local hospital is interested in my helping them out on the weekends with their radiology backlog, and are wanting to pay by report, but I have no idea what the average pay per report should be. Can someone give some idea as to what I should be asking for? Thanks ...

I'm wondering why radiology seems to be its own separate entity in the MT world. It seems like if you know radiology, they'll bend over backwards to hire you. I've done radiology before, just as part of my regular MT pool. I don't get what's so "special" about it. Does it have it's own quirky platform or something? ...

When typing a radiology report, do you send the results/report of a radiology exam to just the ordering provider or the ordering and the family provider?
