QA corrected one of my reports - blood pressure


Posted: Feb 13, 2015

The doctor was so bad and the dictation was super scratchy.  I thought for sure it was:

"blood pressure 140/62"

after listening to it after QA it turned out to be:

"blood pressure 144/62"

QA corrected it as: 

"blood pressure 1144/62"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???  I know my number was wrong, my mistake, but at least my number wasn't 1000 mmHg off!  This back and forth thing is getting so old...

Report it? - rde

OMG that's like a HUGE critical error. Did you mention something to them or at least contact your PC? Oh and the auditor should be on PM and at least given 90% for that error.

It's called a typo. You've never made one? Everyone here - sm

agrees that it pisses us off when we get hit too hard over an accidental typo, yet these same people are wanting to make a stink and tattle over someone else making a typo. Sigh.

Ihave had QA - actually

Go through a report of mine that I left for blanks..Well doc dictated the wrong vital signs, went back later and corrected them, which is what WAS in my report..QA changed them to the previously wrong ones..

Regarding the corrects by m modal Qa, do they dock or lower your pay?

No. They don't even mark points off, only fill blanks & correct. - nm

Only the jobs done by the Auditors - sm

Regular QA at MModal are for feedback only. They let you know what kind of mistakes you are making that the auditors will ding you for on an audit, but it doesn't count against you.

If you send too many blanks to QA, however, then your pay will get docked.

Corrected Incorrectly?
Jan 17, 2011

So I have a pretty good editor, I don't dislike him at all. Every once in a while though, he will correct something that I didn't do wrong, either by missing something else in the report, or just marking something red that I had already typed in my original report becuase it was left next to another blank, etc. This has only happened about 3 times in 4 months, but it concerns me because it is very important to me that I look good and maintain high quality standards so that I can get wh ...


Had The Following Corrected In FIESA....
Jan 25, 2015

An ESL dictator said, "patient no more on anticoagulation."   I put, "patient no LONGER on anticoagulation." It was changed to "more" like the dictator did say, but of course that is incorrect English usage.  No matter--it was marked as a "verbiage error."  I should have known.  How can the VR get trained if we correct even obvious errors like this?   This is really humiliating to have to actually transcribe like this. ...

Corrected Errors On Draft
Jan 29, 2013

Do any of you feel that errors you've corrected on the edit drafts disappear?  Have you gotten marked off for errors that you are sure you corrected? Several reports over the past few weeks have came back with points marked off for errors that I'm 99.9% sure I caught and fixed before uploading.  This makes me feel like I'm losing my mind.  ...

Anyone out there who works remotely for a hospital.. can you tell me how your QA is done.  Wondering if most are like my employer.  Our QA is done sporadically.. maybe twice  a year.  We get a stack of reports in the mail that may be 6 months to a year old.  Our editors follow none of the standards our department has set up, and usually just whatever they feel is wrong, is wrong.  Also, we can't go back and access the voice when we are looking at the errors to ...
