HITECH testing

There are new reporting requirements (MU, or meaningful use) within the HITECH Act. For the first time ever, patients' BMI, smoking history (patients 13 and over), and vaccination history and records will be reported directly to the federal government by their physicians. (These data were compiled in the past for epidemiologic purposes but not linked to individual patients.) And these are just the aspects of Stage I of EMR implementation -- Stage II ...

A few days ago the MTSO I work for informed us that it was even more important for us to be sure that the patient information in the demographics be accurate. They went on to say that if an error was made, the patient would now be informed of this. While I totally agree that at all times patient information, inculding DOB, MR number and other very important data be perfect every time, I can't help but wonder that if patients will be informed when this information is in error, w ...

Anyone check with their employer to see how they will handle an MT performing a HITECH HIPAA violation after 02/2010? Could be $100 fine for each occurence, up to $25,000/year. HITECH HIPAA violation could be an MT putting an incorrect doctor in for a carbon copy. I know the doctors are so very thorough in their carbon copy requests, so in that case, there should be very few problems...lol. ...

drop the account? Would you comply with HITECH and let the doctor worry about his own compliance and keep status quo? I have an acct that is part time and I could pick up more more elsewhere if I dropped him, but who wants to walk away from business in today's environment? This doctor is not overtly saying he refuses to send his dictation by encrypted email. He just is saying nothing and not changing anything. What would you do? ...

I'm wondering where other people have their home offices/work computers? My desk is currently in a corner of the living room but it's not in the main living area, so to speak. It's kind of off in this nook area off the living room. My monitors face outside and not into the living room. I'm wondering if I'm going to have to figure out someplace else to put everything to be in compliance? I do have my computers password locked so no one else can ...

How can any company be compliant with HITECH/HIPPA when they send work overseas. Isn't that a HIPPA violation and should the patient be notified that their personal information, diagnoses, history, SS#, in some cases home address, DOB, etc, is sometimes mentioned in reports and overseas MTs have access to it? How can any company be compliant, especially with HITECH be compliant with these new laws, regulations, etc, when the patient is not aware their information is accessed overseas ...

“The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH Act), enacted in February 2009, …expanded the reach of HIPAA, extending it to business associates effective February 17, 2010, and imposing nationwide notification requirements for breach of unsecured protected health information (PHI). Business associates will also now be directly obligated to comply with the security rule of HIPAA and implement security policies to safeguard electr ...

Anyone willing to tell if it is multiple dictations, how many, etc. Were you able to get foot pedal to work with it? any info helpful. ...

It is truly laughable that MQ expects US MTs to jump through hoops, passing their tests, audits, trying to decipher absolute garbage and paying us like we were 6 month trainees, etc., and then have the audacity to send work to India. I hope MQ gets its due for all the grief they have caused and their role in the demise of this industry! If Verizon were to put them out of business, that would definitely be what they deserve. ...

Does anyone work for FutureNet ?? Or worked there in the past on ESL accounts? How was the test? How are the ESL accounts? Incredibly awful dictators??Thanks! ...

How are you supposed to know whether to put the headings and text on the same line or put the text on the line under the heading, put a colon after heading or not put a colon? They said they go by BOS, but all I see pertaining to that in the BOS is the sample reports where they put the text under the heading with no colons after the heading. I guess I'll just do it that way. ...

I am hoping someone can help me out with this question. I am a single mother with a 3 and 6 year old. I recently resigned from my job due to management. I also got accepted to school that starts in Aug. I have done medical transcription for over 4 years, but currently not the last two years. I was working for a corporation and management there were all for sabotaging people. Since I have left my job, I knew that I could always come back to transcribing. I am taking tests to only find out, I didn ...

How many of you think that testing to get an MT job absolutely ridiculous? When you apply to these so-called medical transcription companies, you send them your resume which I am sure highlights not only your experience, but also your education that you paid good money for and worked hard to obtain. Yet, they still make you take a test. Have you realized that the tests are designed for you to fail? Your whole future is based on one test. Your experience and you ...

Hello, I am a former MT hoping to transition over into medical coding. I have been unemployed since 01/2014. I'm looking for someone that can help me out. I've researched AHIMAs website about the requirements for obtaining the CCS certification. My question is: Can I apply and take the CCS exam during my final class in coding? I have applied for my medical coding certificate and will complete class in 3 months. The website states the requirements are (completed) coursework or work e ...

I am struggling with the dictation on the archivus testing. I could only do one report with no blanks, the others are really tough. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do if I cannot finish the reports or have really too many blanks? ...

This surgeon dictates the same over and over in multiple reports, and I cannot understand what type of testing this is. "s/l Manuar test reveals 5/5 strength in forward elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, and abduction." "s/l The remainder of Manuar assessment exam of left upper extremity reveals 5/5 strength throughout all major muscle groups." I thought about the possibility of manual test, but that just does not sound like what he is saying. Thanks so much! ...

Is anyone here familiar with MedQuist's pre-employment testing or their pre-employment process? Does anyone know how much they pay? Thanks!! ...

It is getting very hard to even find the energy to test anymore. I have tested till I am blue in the face and dont understand why it is so hard to get a job in this profession. I graduated top of my class with a 3.98 and you would think I would have had a job by now. I did not think it would be this hard to land a good job but wow this really is a hard profession to get started in. I seem to do well on the test and dictations but they always send me emails telling me they have already filled th ...

Does anybody know of MTSOs that don't require transcription testing? I'm so tired of spending time testing only to be offered very low cpl in my opinion. I've been an MT for 20+ years and am trying to find a part-time job. However, all this testing is really starting to wear me down. Aren't there any MTSOs out there that just call references anymore? I'm an IC and have lots of references and regularly do fill-in ...

I tested for a company who stated that my skills were not up to their requirements, which I find very difficult to believe, as I have been in this business for 10 years, nonetheless, I am beginning to wonder if some of these companies are not scamming us. I was required to transcribe four different files with the shortest one being 6 minutes and the longest 12 minutes, but apparently, they were not good enough. Again, I am baffled as I kept all the files I did and I did not find one ...
