AAMT BOS.....CD or book? Which do you prefer and why? Thanks. nm

Sent a new computer and I can't find AAMT Book of Style in MQCentral. Does anyone happen to know where it is in the maze??? ...

I am currently looking for a new online job. I have been doing medical transcription for nine years now but work for a small hospital. I do not currently have, nor does my hospital require, the AAMT book of style to be the set rules for our transcription department. We still use q.h.s. etc. I recently had a job interview but blew it because the company requires their MTs to know the latest AAMT book of style front and back. Is this a big deal to know this book word for word? Wonderin ...

According to AAMT Book of style, are medications numbered and listed?? ...

Which do you prefer? Male or female dictators? and why? My preference is the former. Maybe its just the docs I work for, but they seem less fussy and easy to listen to. ...

I'm thinking of switching to either Instant Text or Shorthand from the generic Bayscribe expander that I've been using. Back in the day PRD+ did everything that I needed for it to do and more. Which expander do you prefer (doesn't have to be one of the ones mentioned above)? Thanks in advance. ...

I'm studying to be an MT (although, reading the posts on the forum, I'm beginning to wonder about that choice), and was wondering what Text Expander software was preferred by most MTs. What do you all like? ...

Do any of you Nuance MTs actually prefer the new eBTXT to the old one? I definitely miss many of the features of the old platform. Wondering if it's just me. ...

Unless I am missing it, not seeing the patient's age already calculated is a major flaw. That and I miss being able to see the amount of reports lined up. Otherwise, I think it will be better overall. I definitely am not going to miss those darn header keys. Of course, now I have to go through a bunch of shorthand entries and fix them. ...

Where is our 'union' and seeing that all these injustices that are going on are addressed? This profession has been sold to the devil himself. Talk about Kathy Lee's sweat shops? I read for no pay. I type and look up, cross reference, research and no pay. No breaks, no lunch, just production. I have to calculate and make out time sheets and do my own time for no money and then when we type, the programs are calculating in a way that we have no i ...

After failing a test for a PT gig, I pulled out the old BOS 2 (don't have 3) and I am surprised at some of the things it is "requiring". Like, for instance, never hypenate words that will separate them at the end of a sentence. Now, I don't know about you, but what I type in, and what the final report looks like are completely different, so, how am I to know it will actually fall at the end of a line. Another thing, all these dang rules, when most accounts are verbati ...

Do we still have MQ online access to AAMT? Apparently I lost my short-cut when I changed computers. Thanks. ...

HELP PLEASE! In typing abbreviations on my account specs, it says following AAMT BOS, but the problem I am having is letters. They are using abbreviations that I should be expanded as it is a letter, (ex. MCP). I have read to expand these, but for the life of me I cannot find it in AAMT BOS... Any help appreciated. Thanks ...

dictated: levothyroxine 1200 micrograms daily transcribed: levothyroxine 1200 mcg daily is this correct? pls help. ...

What is even the PURPOSE of the AAMT/AHDI or whatever they call themselves now? They are in no way representative of me or any other MT that I know and in fact have been a key factor in the demise of medical transcription in my opinion. A bunch of no life having harridans trying and unfortunately succeeding in making themselves relevant. In other news, several fellow MTs have written to their state reps regarding offshoring and were told that inquiries into the matter reve ...

Do different medical transcription companies prefer 2nd or 3rd Book of Style? Seems as if I could buy a used 2nd edition from a website such as Amazaon cheaper than the 3rd edition, but I don't want to buy an edition that is not used by medical transcription companies. Your comments, please? TIA- Jane ...

I read a lot of negative stuff on this board about AAMT/AHDI - how they're screwing MTs here at home. Can someone explain? When I was taking the Career Step course all I ever heard were glowing comments about the RMT/CMT exams, Benchmark, etc. - so I'm a little surprised to read the negative comments here. I know that this industry is going down the tubes for lots of reasons, corporate greed probably being #1, and if AAMT/AHDI is a party to this, I'd like t ...

If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share? Just a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if we were told by our companies that from here on in, VR will pay as much as transcribing? pipe dreams huh? ...

On pg 97 of 2nd ed. AAMT it shows non-disease-entity but on pg 330 it shows non was a prefix that doesn't require a hyphen. So, shouldn't it be nondisease-entity ? I find this so confusing. ...

Whereas, the medical transcriptionist contributes significantly to the delivery and quality of patient care, while also helping to assure appropriate reimbursement, promote research integrity, and fulfill providers’ legal obligations through documentation of health services. Be it therefore declared that each medical transcriptionist has the following rights: The right to an appropriate job classification and pay level appropriate to one’s abilities, limitations, and responsibili ...

If anything..they are simply a Sales Convention for MTSOs and only have their interest at heart. There are never topics that relate to working as an MT or being properly represented. Instead we get the never ending changing BOS, or the CMT certification which AGAIN has changed...and btw..took a look a "sample" test and it has NOTHING to do with being an MT! It was more for a clinician. We are language specialists..not clinicians. I have been an MT for over 20 ...

Thereafter he was seen at the student health center where evaluation was undertaken. ...

Could someone please tell me why MTs are members of AHDI? Everytime I hear about a new "rule" from the BOS, it does nothing more than lower my line count once again. I really think that this organization is for the employers, rather than the MTs. The hospitals, etc, want you to follow BOS for all things that cut line counts, but then do it their way for other things. Drives me nuts the amount of times I have heard, this account follows BOS, except for............. & ...

I notice so many who talk about doctors dictating with kids screaming in the background, docs talking to other docs, alarms going off, etc. It got me thinking about when I first started out. I had to have absolute silence. Kids had to be in bed, hubby gone, TV off, etc. My gf said, "NO WAY! Turn on the TV! You have to get used to hearing other things going on so you don't restrict yourself to only being able to transcribe in absolute silence." &n ...

Is one or the other just a given? Please help! ...

Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)? I definitely prefer very long reports! ...

I would like to start using my laptop in a couple of weeks (MQ upgrade) and it seems like a good time to give up the log book. I have been keeping one since I started 10 years ago. No patient info, just job #, work type and length. I just like the idea of keeping them honest, not really trusting them, although I only find a missing job once or twice a year. Just would like some feedback. I feel it may be slowing me down in between jobs. TIA. ...

I currently use my own PC for my MT work.. but I am looking to get a new computer.. I use the express scribe program for work. I travel alot and I think it will help. pros and cons?? anyone else use one?? do you like it?? ...

dictated: I recommended the book Everyone Poops. I don't know that I have ever known the rule for this. If I ever did, I have forgotten it. 'Everyone Poops' "Everyone Poops" Everyone Poops Help please, and thanks. ...

Anyone know when they are coming out with a new Book of Style? I am afraid to buy the 3rd edition since it is from 2008. Thanks. ...

I am interested in updating my drug book as there have been so many new medications since my last 2001 Monthly Prescribing Reference Book and I cannot afford to keep subscribing to that. What reference book/internet site would you suggest to help me with new medications. Thank you for your help and response. ...
