Creating Normals in Meditech - Janine

Posted: Feb 01, 2012

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to create normals in Meditech? I am trying to set up my normals for all the headings for each particular doctor so they will already be bolded. It is time consuming bolding the headings. Trying to figure out ways to be proficient, as my line minimum went up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

it has been a very long time since I used Meditech, so maybe they have made upgrades, but back then we could not make normals. we could only use the "canned text" feature, and if we wanted something inserted in it, we had to turn it in to our supervisor who would have to approve it, then send it to someone to have it entered in. like I said, it was a long time ago.

Here's a hint. Use a word processing program... - SM

We use Meditech and you can set up your format in a word document. Copy from Word, then ctrl-V to paste into Meditech. You will still have to go in and add the bolds, italics, etc., but less typing. Keep your word processing program open on your desktop and copy and paste from there. HTH.

If not ctrl-v, try alt-v (sorry, not actually in the program right now) - j

Copy and paste from Meditech - lhalnan

In Meditech, position your cursor at the beginning of the text, upper left-hand corner. Right click and drag to the right-hand corner (you should see an outline of a box.) ALT/C.

Switch to the other program and CTRL/V.

Meditech uses ALT/C and ALT/V, other programs use CTRL/C and CTRL/V.

Unfortunately you can't "select all"

Okay, if you want me to be 99.7% then at least have the information in the normals/standards correct. Misspelled words, punctuation errors. Really? Have to go in and change a LOT in order to "attempt" to make 99.7%. Thinking I am no longer going to change them and when i get "nicked," I am going to say "that's how it was entered." Sorry for the rant. ...

I don't get any dictators who have normals anymore. Has been this way for about 6 months or so. I have been with the company for a long time. There are a lot of normals used in the account. Do they give them to the new people? It makes me sad. If I just got 1 or 2 a day it would boost up my line count quite a bit. ...

I work for a small hospital and we have just recently started typing our H&P's into EMR. The problem with EMR is that it uses Word (not Microsoft Word) and we have no auto correct and no medical spell checker. We were told that we could not get either installed in the EMR. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, we were told that we could not cut and paste into the EMR, which is what we had been doing due to no auto correct or spell checker, because it is noncompliance with the H ...

Anyone hate meditech as much as I do? It is impossible to type more than 50 reports unless you work more than 8 hours a day. They dont care if you work more than 8 hours a day, (cause there is tons of work) but don't put that on your time card. You have to work on your days off cause you don't make enough money unless you do. If you only get paid 1 dollar per report you can go on disability for the rest of your life and pretty much live on 900 a month anyway. meditech has so ...
