Posted: Mar 11, 2010
This is a question from a company and just wondering ER report, consult, op report, or preop H&P?
need more info - depending on situation

any of those could be a stat or a high priority. The patient could be awaiting surgery (preop H&P) and need the chart immediately, or the patient could be awaiting transfer from the ER, etc.
In acute care where I work, the order is -- - SM

Preop H&P/STAT; H&P; Consult; Op report;
Discharge summary. Our ERs are handled separately by MTs who type them first as THEIR priority.
I have been working on this one for an hour and can't seem to get a few parts. One sounds like configuration. Also, after "FILMS OF THE CHEST", it s/l "One view" and then I think it might be a date afterwards. I am not sure. Please see entire message.
(s/l FILMS) OF THE CHEST: (s/l One view) (___). (s/l Compared): 10/12/10

Please share highest line in 8 hour day with VR, but no normals.

Thanks ...

Hi all,
Just a quick question. In all your years of experience, what would you think would be a fair starting pay (hourly please) at a smaller acute care hospital doing varied types of jobs? I do a lot of typing for the actual hospital, the two clinics (one inside the hospital and our satellite clinic in another town) and physical therapy. I do alot of transcription but I also have a lot of other medical records duties as well that I have to balance. I do ...

The last pay cut they made to me was with ASR. they did not touch my transcription rate YET, but I know I read on here someone was at the top of their level as to how much they could make and they went from 0.009 to 0.003. It sounds like this was the transcription rate? Did they actually cut some of the MTs base pay to more than half? This just blows me away if they did this. I have not been on here too much on a steady basis because I get even more d ...
