perineal exam--heading in PE - starstruck


Posted: Feb 18, 2010

I have a couple of doctors who dictate without giving headings--I'm supposed to add these.  What heading would I put "perineal exam" under in this report? He dictates it after the abdominal exam, but would that be the appropriate section to put this under?  I thought of pelvic, but it really isn't a pelvic (female patient).

GU? or perineal exam? Either heading would work, depending on the client. - DRH

Dec 16, 2009

Lacrimal Dilators For Perineal Lesion Excision?
Feb 09, 2013

I am doing a report for a doctor and surgery that I don't normally do.  The surgery is for excision of a perineal lesion and fistulous tract.  She says she uses lacrimal dilators.  It s/l lacrimal anyway but I can't seem to confirm that this is correct.   Using lacrimal dilators the wound tract was explored and found to approximately 4 cm in its greatest length but non-communicating with perianal glands or rectum.  There was a blind ended sac.  With the l ...

Heading?
Apr 22, 2010

This doctor describes the preop/postop diagnoses, type of anesthesia, and gives the surgeon's name (all of which I made separate headings for as it seemed he was dictating them). After the surgeon's name, he goes into a short description of the patient and a few physical exam findings as they pertain to the procedure.  He does not dictate a heading or anything, although after his description of the patient, he dictates a new paragraph and a PROCEDURE heading.  Should I put a ...

What Is Wrong With DQS 7.1's ASR Heading System?
Sep 03, 2012

I thought that DQS 6 was bad, but this 7.1 certainly topped that one.  It seems to just randomly makes words headings whenever it feels like it.  Just now, on a dictation clear as day, in the middle of a sentence, it decided that the word "the" was to be a heading.  Why? ...

Concerning The Discussion A Few Days Ago About Which Heading Gait Testing Goes Under.
Jun 27, 2015

Gait testing is part of the neurological examination and should therefore go under that heading.  From my perspective, healthcare document integrity should hold sway over account specs or doctor preferences.  Too many doctors think all that matters is what they say or how they interpret what is said, which is total bunk.  If that were true, we would all just start typing melanotic stools every time one of these medical geniuses dictates that because certainly there isn't a do ...
