Guessing - old and burned out
Posted: Mar 07, 2010
All this talk about guessing is not to the point. Even if you do not guess, you are going to make mistakes - we all do. Some of the worst and fastest dictation I get is for the lab data and drugs and dosages which should be the most careful part of the dictation. The responsibility to see that these values are correct in the medical record belongs to the doctor, not to us.

In fact, I've been called a suit on here because of my enthusiasm for this line of work. My edited reports look like somebody slashed their wrists and bled all over them. There is either no explanation for the error or cryptic comments that make no sense. Errors are inconsistently flagged. Em ...

MLS Are Guessing Rather Than Leaving Blanks..
Jul 10, 2013
Just was notified by my TSM that an account isn't happy. They feel the MLS are guessing and they have found errors to prove it. Someone needs to let these clients know how Nuance is enticing some MLS to guess. They would surely reconsider outsourcing their work and maybe this is the start of hospitals hiring their own MLS again. Wouldn't that be wonderful?! ...
