Doctors who do not read the patient's chart - NEPAmt


Posted: Dec 19, 2013

Do you ever wonder if doctor's ever take a quick glance over the patient's chart before they begin dictating? I am not talking about residents who are dictating a large stack of charts, but a doctor who sees the same patients day in and day out in a diabetes clinic.  I type for this doctor who will start dictating and have no idea what medications the patient is on, how many units the patient takes, or even how many times a day the patient is to receive insulin. She will name off Levemir continue to hmmm and haahh and throw some numbers out there, get to the assessment and plan and then start off again as if she is in the HPI and change the medication/insulin and change the whole treatment regimen.  It is almost as if she has ADD or just does not want to dictate.  That can be dangerous, though, if she were to forget to correct herself.

oops, my bad, that should say doctors, not doctor's - NEPAmt

Any Doctors On Here Please Read
Apr 09, 2014

I know you are probably unaware of this but we (the MTs) generally do not live in the areas we transcribe, so please if you could take an extra second (you pay by the character not the time anymore) spell places, business names, doctors names, doctors practices, etc. it saves us so much time and makes the documents more accurate. Thank you to the doctor that I just had that clearly spelled all the CC information.. ...

Doctors Using Their Own Templates Jeopardize Patient Care
Dec 11, 2012

I don't know about the rest of you but I have very few male doctors who are careful enough to adequately edit normal templates to meet the patient's particular criteria. It's gets pretty time consuming to do it myself, especially when we are not qualified to do this in every instance. Female doctors almost always attend to these details. NPs, PAs do a much better job than the male docs, but few male docs either care, feel it is their job, or take responsibility for this editing. ...

"There Was A Time When Doctors Were Doctors" By James Ong
May 06, 2014

From the KevinPho MD site:   There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine.   There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

I applied to Fast Chart, tested and then was offered a position.  So, I read their contract and got to the fees section.  I knew they charged a 7.50 fee for not meeting your line requirement, but then there was going to be another fee after you had been there for 90 days.  This fee is calculated using some kind of formula 40.00 - (A/B)*40....A is number of lines you actually transcribed and B is the Line requirement and then there is another formula to calculate edited lines.  ...

Survey - Do You Have Access To Chart?
Apr 28, 2014

I'm wondering how many MTs out there have access to patient charts.  As of now, I do and it's very helpful in looking up vitals, lab values, and doctors' names that the dictator invariably mumbles.  The company I work for will soon remove that access to MTs, and I'm wondering if this is a new HIPAA requirement or if we are moving to a platform that simply does not support it.  They are saying that it is because of HIPAA, but I think it's ridiculous to take ...
