MM ASR is now diagnosing patients. - sick of MM
Posted: Sep 13, 2013
The physician was speaking very very clearly and yet, the Axis IV diagnoses were not what he said. The diagnoses output was what most patients are diagnosed with, but NOT this patient!!!!!
Hate to say it, nothing new - sm
[ In Reply To ..]like in past medical history, the doc may pause and it will throw in a diagnosis every now and again..You really have to be careful with this..Waste of my time and money
Nothing new, but getting worse. - sick of MM
[ In Reply To ..]The Axis IV diagnoses were not at all what the doctor dictated. He spoke clearly and there was no background noise.
The current operative report I am doing is being rather creative in the fake output too. Added a the anesthesia heading with the type of anesthesia, though never dictated.
A hospital I used to work for got VR for radiology. The doctors were begging for transcriptionists, but the hospital denied them and they were supposed to edit their own dictation - which they never did. Rather than dump their spending mistake, they chose compromising patient care.

Patients Have No Idea...

Last night I was taken out to dinner by my now full-time employer, his wife, and few other folks who joined us (yes, Imagine that, I actually enjoy spending time with them and they treat employees great.) Someone asked me about my former 10-year career as an MT.... I told them how much I loved the actual job, and then told them what a MESS ASR and EPIC make of a patient's record if it is unedited. I recounted some of the "funny" mistakes (only funny in the fact that AS ...
Are Doctors Really Seeing More Patients Because Of EMR??
Oct 31, 2014
Too broke to see a doctor in several years I finally saw one today and got to witness the "benefits" of EMR. The new patient documents were scanned into the doctor's laptop. The software was not able to translate handwriting, so all that was a waste. Basically the doctor had to go over every question and missed many that did not scan. The only hands-on he did was to look in ears & throat. Everything else he was glued to the laptop trying to type in everything I s ...
Vent: Not Caring For Patients
Nov 20, 2010
Dictators (MDs, PAs, RNPs, etc.) who dictate so fast and so sloppily cannot possibly care about the welfare of their patients. If they did, they would want a clear and accurate record with no room for misunderstanding or errors. Doing the paperwork is part of the job. If you don't want to do it with reasonable clarity, then perhaps you just shouldn't be practicing at all. If I ever meet any of these in person I will tell them flat out how horrible they are and what a terr ...

"take Good Care Of Our Patients" BARF
Mar 04, 2015
Have a good TSM, so I shouldn't complain too much. But getting sick and tired of comments about taking care of our patients, thanking us for quality care of patients, etc. I know she realizes we are all concerned about our paychecks right now as much as anything else. Not that we don't give a darn about quality, but we are after all working to try to make a living. Corporate is just shoving this quality crap down our throats every chance they get. I am sur ...
