I'm so sick of these preferred headings - and spell check

Posted: Apr 23, 2013

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? It's got Respiratory Assessment in the list - how often does that actually get used?

Okay all you people who are so concerned about my production, why can't this be fixed?

Totally agree - this is really high

on the list of annoyances and something that would seem to be fairly easy to fix, although one wonders why they set this in there in the first place. Are you listening, Princess?

Because you dont get paid to use that heading - free for them

[ In Reply To ..]
That is why it is there. They want all accounts using them so they dont have to pay us for putting them in.

who said headings are free? - sm

just curious cause when I was trained I was told we were paid for them,,,as well as standards

Not the ones in the preferred headings list - or number list

[ In Reply To ..]
I was told that if you enter them manually, then you are paid for them.

I dont know, just what I was told.

We definitely do get paid for headings - kriscro2

I specifically asked management, as I am one of the MTs that are always called in to the office to test the new software, and I always thought we didn't get paid for the red headings, but they said no way, we definitely do.

how did you get that gig? - shooter

I want a gig like that.

You are misinformed. They are paid. - anon

headers and footers are not paid. HEADINGS, as in those red ones are paid, whether ASR enters them or you do. If you read the policy for what is paid, they are included.

even if we didn't get paid - there is no reason they cant be added

It's just crazy to have it stop on those headings over and over and over again. You're supposed to select one from the list that's similar I guess. Does anyone do that? Sometimes there isn't anything really similar. I wonder what QA would say if we did that anyway.

I'm soo glad someone else is bringing this up! I had a meeting with the big-wigs in Norcross a few months ago and told them that was something that was useless and please get rid of them, as they wanted our feedback on the software, and they said they would! It is absolutely USELESS, and I told them that! What a waste!

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 ...

Oct 11, 2012

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. ...

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 ...
