full code status - ontop


Posted: Dec 31, 2010

Do I capitalize "full code status" ie, The patient was on full code status.

Yes - Cap it

Not necessarily, need to ask supervisor/client. - sm

Where I work they DO NOT capitalize this.

One of those things - starstruck

As the above poster said the client's wishes prevail when there is no hard-and-fast rule. But when I have the freedom to decide for myself, I generally capitalize FULL CODE if it is part of the report and there is no separate section for code status. My thought is that I would want something significant to jump out at the reader. It's the same reason that drug allergies are capitalized throughout a report, not just in the allergies section. You want someone who is reading quickly through a chart to see the crucial stuff. JMO.

You should Capitalize It - It needs to stand out

There is no hard and fast right or wrong.

Capitalize it.

Like stated above, not all clients want this capitalized. - NM

Tempted To Go Full-time IC Status
Dec 16, 2014

I have a great part-time IC job that I really love. It is so stress-free and I only hear from my account manager when she sends me my pay summary right before pay day. I have been thinking about how blessed I am to have found them especially after working as an employee for a couple other MTSOs. My employee jobs have been so stressful and QA can be so petty with a lot of these places. We have QA where I work now, but I have absolutely no complaints and literally almost always score 100% Here ...


Transcend Full Time Status Quotas
Apr 27, 2011

I'm a newbie at Transcend and find I like it more than expected based on board comments.  I am also new to VR - and also find that I like that too!  My question is this, for any long-time Transcenders...I am nowhere near making the minimum $$ amount required for full-time status, which I was hired at.  What happens after the 90 day trial period -   Do you think I would be let go??  I would like to just be considered part-time at that point.  ...


What Are Full-time Status Requirements At MModal?
Feb 06, 2013

Now, Nuance has hit me with a 20% pay cut for no reason other than that's just what they do to everybody, and QA people who have never even SEEN the account I've worked on for 4 years are nickel-and-diming me for things I know for a fact I have typed exactly the way the client wants. Now we have to sign ...

To Code Or Not

The truth is that transcription has changed and it will never go back to the good old days.  Mmodal sees this too.  They are shifting as is the norm these days.  Nothing is static.  They are transitioning and they are inviting you to go with them.  I am glad to see a training program for coders.  There are not enough coders out here.  Please be prepared to work your butt off.  Take it, work it, and learn it.  Coding is a unique, important, challenging ...

When I am done with that I will take a class at my community college to refresh and hopefully network.  Does this sound like a good plan to anyone?  Anything to recommend to be supplementing so I will do well on whatever certification tests are necessary when the time comes?  Thanks! ...

Code Of Conduct, HIPAA?
Nov 12, 2010

What a joke. They come down on us so hard about this, but there is information on ADT we have no reason to see such as SS numbers. I have a couple of dictators who actually dictate the patient's SS number and say to put it on the report. Not to mention the wrong patient information and cc names given by the dictators. I now will always leave a QA note every time a cc name is given without the first and last name or any ADT names given without first and last name. With thousands of MTs wor ...
