Arbitrary red headings.... ARGH!!! - SOSDD

Posted: Sep 27, 2012

OMG is it just me or are others noticing that this is happening with even the most obscure reference?

Well..... so many keystrokes to correct this....... stuff

It's making me nuts tonight, also on new accounts because of low volume... Ever feel like just walking away????? If I got120 lines/hr last night, I will be totally amazed (and pretty darn proud of myself with all the BS I got).

Make it a great day everyone, the weekend is almost upon us.

whose effort to sabotage - doubt it

They are not trying to sabotage you. For real. They just have a crappy ASR program. That is all. Just over-paid, under-worked programmers.

you are correct, evidently the sarcasm was not so evident, - SOSDD

Please don't take it so literally though sometimes it seems hard not to take it personally when they know these problems exist and release flawed programming anyway and don't seem to be trying to hard to fix the issues they know about(such as the aforementioned heading issue). BTW, I don't believe it is the ASR program that decides the headings so much as background programming and directives. So please, lighten up a bit and I'll work on not being such a Debbie Downer.

I sent a remedy ticket about there never being a period after - Ms and they asked for an example job number.

I sent them a job number and got the reply that this was not an issue they could fix but would have to escalate to someone higher up, because the account was originally set up to not have periods after Ms Mr or Mrs. This, even though of course we have to add them. That kind of thinking really slays me. Who in the world would request an account to be set up like this?

addendum: Mr and Mrs actually come through with periods after them - just fine, so what the heck kind of programming se

Background tweeking - SOSDD

[ In Reply To ..]
that is along the lines I was thinking...background tweeking for specific accounts, rather than trying to standardize, everyone has to have their own special cookie. (speaking of which MM, I'm partial to oatmeal scotchies but I want raisins in mine)

mmmm...peanut butter - criss cross

period after Ms - ee

I was told by my QA person there should not be a period after Ms.

Are you serious? never been told this in my - lifetime. NM

Not after Miss, but should be after Ms - as per the link

abbreviations - Old MT

If you are not supposed to be using the BOS, you can ignore this, but Ms is not an abbreviation, thus no period. Mrs. is an abbreviation for Missus and Mr. for Mister. As such it should have periods but as per BOS they are correct either way. Sounds like the client perhaps didn't want periods after the abbreviations.

Just got an email saying this has now been fixed - anxious to see if they really did. NM

I got a flippin DING for using a period after Ms. - Hating on MModal.

Grrrrrrr.

I got an email indication NOT to put period - L&L

after Ms anymore. Ages ago. Do we work for the same company?

grrr...indicating NOT, not indication NOT - L&L

Of course we will never be asked to ADD any characters we might get paid for.

I'm seeing TIME SEEN, LABORATORY FINDINGS, PLAN, MEDICATIONS even with what is actually said does not even come close to that. As well, it seems that if it is close, it puts in a red heading. Example:... BY THE TIME I SEE THE PT. Usually ends up to be something like ...by the. </TIME SEEN/> The patient is blah, blah, blah Or am I just imagining things? Which would probably be a good thing since the alternative reality (ASR) is pret ...

So I'm still learning the in's and out's of transcribing, hoping that once I finish this course and get my certification and start working it will get easier.

those apathetic, mush-mouthed ESLs coughing, burping, mumbling while dictating and tell them they are responsible for my cut in pay. Obviously MQ wants to cut our pay, but I'm sure the dictators don't know this, and MQ isn't about to train them the right way, or let them know how they really sound to us. OOHHH, I'm so tempted to get on the phone and ask for Dr. so-and-so and tell them off, or at least humbly ask them to throw me a bone here, to try to enuncia ...

While editing, have you ever come across a read heading that is not meant to be there and sometimes has nothing to do with what is dictated, and then, upon normalizing the heading with ctrl-shift-H, it shows exactly what was dictated? This happens all the time with me, but this one really stood out. The red heading was FAMILY AND SOCIAL. What was dictated was "dairy and wheat." Without typing what was dictated, I normalized the heading and, sure enough, "dairy and wheat" ...

What bugs me is that since switching to DQS 7.1, all the headings in the ROS and PE are in lower case now, and each time I edit, I have to change them back to caps per client preference. They used to be in all caps. I have them in the expander, but it's still time consuming to go through and change them each and every time. ...

Sep 09, 2010

Make sure your headings are spelled correctly before uploading as the spell checker ignores them completely, which makes me highly suspicious that they are not included in our line count whether we type them or insert them. You know, DQS was the only good thing MQ had going for it until this update. They had some good ideas, but implemented them poorly, not to mention should have done a beta with a handful of non-suck-up and non-family-member-to-the-CEO MTs first. I have a fe ...

Is this another ploy to undermine line counts/pay? Please correct me if I misunderstood. Thanks all ...

Good morning everyone, In DQS 6, I could "rpe" and have it return "</PHYSICAL EXAMINATION/>" in red in the report. Not happening with 7.1. I have tried every combo I can think of to bring an expansion into a job and have it format like it did previously but am having no luck. I have tried copying a heading from a standard into Instatext but it will not come back into the job formated correctly. Anyone found a work around for this? I'm finding the ctl+h very time c ...

Not sure if I did something or not, but all of the sudden my ASR headings are not like they have been. The blue lines are gone and the next heading is directly below the text of the previous. I think this was how it was when a new version came out, but I was able to "fix" it to the old way. Is any of this making sense? Also my Google, RxList and the rest of those sites you can access on the DQS page are off center. ...

I think every single one of us should put in a ticket in Remedy complaining about this "preferred heading" list. There is absolutely no reason for this! It just slows up down when trying to upload a job! Can somebody tell me what the purpose is for the spell check stopping on every single heading that is not in the "preferred list?" There is none! All these dictators want their own little headings in red, and we're not going to switch to one of the "suggestions ...

My EditScript keeps inserting headings (PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, CHIEF COMPLAINT, ETC) when they are not dictated. With my accounts, I am required to delete any heading that is not dictated, and most of the time the dictators don't dictate them, so I have to spend a lot of time deleting headings, sometimes 10 or more in a report. :( My question is, is there some way to "reprogram" EditScript so it doesn't spit out a heading if not dictated? Otherwise I do like EditScrip ...

Lines. Hmm, when I worked at a hospital, I used to do blocks of SOAP notes in one document and puts lines in between patients (for more characters) for as long as I could get away with it. You don't suppose Mm has figured out a new way to overcharge clients (but of course not pay us). On the other hand, maybe they just had a bunch of programmers with nothing better to do. ...

I really have a problem under the Physical Examination trying to figure out what goes where when the headings aren't dictated. For instance, in this dictation, she dictates lungs, describes her exam of them, then goes on to say, "Mass in the back and the left paraspinous area is measured..." Would this stay under the lungs or would I make a new heading...if so, if "Back" an acceptable heading? Next, she talks about the pelvis...would this go under a heading with a "Pelvis" labe ...

I have all verbatim-verbatim accounts and only just now learned that we have to change what the dictator says and change it to an "approved heading." I was once told this only pertained to non-verbatim accounts, but was just corrected. I was told that ALL OF THE CHECKED headings in the headings pane must be included in the document. If the doctor says procedure, you must put in an approved heading into the standard changing what he says if in the approved headings list it says ...

Spell check stops on the same headings every time and have to be ignored. Why can't some commonly used ones be added to the list? There are all variations of Lab and X-ray Data, but the docs all say Imaging. They all say Home Medications. Why can't those be put in the list?
