what kind of electronic drug book are you using? - Alida T


Posted: Jul 24, 2014

I have used the Quick Look Drug book (electronic version) for years made by LWW (Lippincott, Williams and Wilkins) and each year they notify me when the new year's version is available - now turns out, since I did not get notification of the 2014 version the company is not taking that book any more, regular or electronic. This was a Stedmans version that worked with the ReadyReferenceBookShelf process where all words books, electronic, are connected - when I asked about a replacement LWW said they did not know and turns out does not care and does not have a replacement that will work with ReadyReferenceBookShelf. I tried Elsevier company and they do not have an electronic version and American Drug Index, called them, got referred to their clinical solutions department and that book does not come in electronic version either. Anyone got any ideas of an electronic version of a drug book that is updated each year that I could get?

I use Google. - ;)

Proper Way To Type This Kind Of Drug Dosage?

Question About Stedman And Drug Book
Jul 16, 2010

My computer has in its programs section Stedman's and a drug index.  The amount of memory taken up is sizeable, so I'm assuming the entire electronic book is contained in the file.  I'm certainly no computer genius and am afraid to attempt to open and launch these without knowing what steps to take.  Does anyone know how I would go about opening the file, creating a desktop shortcut and launching them?  I'd love to be able to use them...if I could get to ...

Electronic Transcription

I recently responded to a job offer for an "Electronic Medical Transcriptionist."  Turned out it was a Jill-of-all-trades position in a foot doctor practice, including taking x-rays (?) and filling in at the front desk.  What makes a job electronic as opposed to a regular transcriptionist.  Sorry to be ill-informed, but I don't know the difference.  TIA! ...

Electronic Medical Record
Jan 14, 2015

I have been corrected by QA twice on this one. The first time it was changed to capitals (Electronic Medical Record), so I started typing it that way. However, recently I had it changed to lower case (electronic medical record). Both times the sentence was the same... "Detailed in the electronic medical record."   I had always typed this lower case until it was changed the first time. I never did understand why it should be capitalized. How do you usually transcribe this one?  ...

Working With The Electronic Health Record (EHR)?
May 12, 2011

I know that transcriptionists at Veterans' Hospitals have used the EHR for years and it works really well at VA. Now it seems that you hear about it all the time, but every single description is different from every other one. Nobody seems to know anything. When I ask how it works in other hospitals and clinics or with MTSOs, I hear that it's really no big deal. You just transribe like you always have. If each system is different, I guess what I want to know is, are any of you using it ...

Obama Is Really Pushing Electronic Medical Records
Jul 30, 2011

I have heard and read that Obama is really pushing the EMR, and by the year 2014, he wants all hospitals/clinics to implement this or else be taxed. He also is supposed to be offering grants and incentives if they do also. So any hospital or physician office that doesn't will be taxed more and will not get incentives, grants, etc. So I think most will try it cause they don't want more taxes and want the incentives, etc. So where does that leave us? If you work for a hospital, what ...
