Dinged if you do - Dinged if you dont
Posted: Jan 29, 2013
We have an account on 100% QA which is checked by MMEs. No 2 grade alike. If the doctor doesn't dictate "Laboratory Data" so you don't put it, you get a nasty note, "'Laboratory Data' should have been inserted here." So the next report, you put in "Laboratory Data" and get a nasty note "He DID NOT dictate this header!" Can't win with this dirtbag scum-sucking cluster*&^% of a company.

[ In Reply To ..]That happened to me and I complained about it and never happened again.
What I've learned - special formatting
[ In Reply To ..]If the dictator doesn't dictate a heading but the section is clearly delineated, I put a heading (CP will say if they don't want heading added if not dictated). My reasoning is because some headings the client has backend formatting associated with it. For instance, some clients have anything under the allergies heading automatically capitalized when formatted to the final report. If there isn't a heading for the next section under allergies, that will also be capitalized until a new heading is encountered. It also makes the report look nice.
ALWAYS been this way when it comes to - this company for 25 years.
[ In Reply To ..]You finally just do not give a crap anymore. Always, always: Darn if you do and darn if you don't. Been saying it for years and years and years. Never ends.

I Get Dinged Because A Doctor Can't Speak
May 21, 2013
I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...
I Was Dinged For Dividing A Run-on Sentence!
Apr 04, 2014
There was a long run-on sentence, so I made it 2 sentences. I got 25 points taken off because, and I quote, *it almost changes the meaning.* So, now you watch - I will get dinged for leaving run-on sentences! Can't win! ...

Correcting Redundant Grammar And Dinged By QA
Aug 09, 2013
Okay, I just started working here and I've been trying to keep my reports perfect. When a doctor says "past medical history," I've been just typing "medical history" because isn't past and history together being redundant? I'm still on 100% QA and all my feedback has the "past" put back in. I'm not on a verbatim account, so shouldn't me correcting this be okay? ...
Getting Dinged For Missing/inserted Words
Mar 05, 2014
There have been quite a few complaints lately about getting audits back where the auditors have inserted or taken away words such as: the, of, a/an, etc. The omission or insertion of these words when not dictated is something that should be captured as an error. However, the point value for such an error usually is zero. This type of error is usually a feedback and educational opportunity error. Because they have a value of zero, you could potentially have 20 of these errors and still have ...
So Tired Of Getting Dinged For Item That Was Pended
Feb 27, 2015
I have a very low pending rate. I very rarely have to pend, but there was a discrepancy in the header so I pended it and explained that in the box. I get a QC1 review (I know this doesn't count but it doesn't make it any less stupid!!) with a 1.0 major error for the very thing I pended it for. This in no way makes sense. I requested a reversal (Know it makes no difference, it's the irritation). I put it in the comments and asked them to please explain ...
I Am Sick Of Getting Dinged For "illogical" Text.
Mar 27, 2014
Being that I have 30 years experience, have been here for about 8 years, and have never had bad audits but am now being failed and under performance management, I figure I am on their target list, and it is just a matter of time before I am out of here either by their hand or my hand (haven't landed the new job in the new career yet). So, I might as well go down with a good fight. I have been dinged for "illogical" text despite leaving the text as dictated. I had 1 that I am sure I w ...
