Question please..normally I have generic reports - for every doc


Posted: Apr 16, 2012

But I find with the ASR that I kind of let them slide until I run across one of the docs dictating without ASR...Do you all save a generic report for the ASR stuff also? especially the OP reports with your "favorite dictators"   I just started to do it, wondering if I am wasting my time..Always easier to replace the ASR report with an generic I guess.

I never get the same doctor twice, so I cant. - elite bouncer

That just annoys the living daylights out of me that I am not given a primary account so that I can have standards! UGHHHHHHHH.

I save generic text also, and also "helper" text for various dictators. - dnr

Those text files help even with ASR, especially with the doctors ASR gets wrong _every single time!_ despite how well the doctor dictates. And then there are those doctors with the difficult accents.

Drugs...generic Or Not?
Dec 20, 2010

Ive asked QA this five times to no avail.  Truth is, I'm still not sure why SpellCheck doesn't cover this.  How do we know when I drug has switched over and is now generic and no longer requires capitalization?? I used to depend on Google (at the bottom of the page whether it is capped or not) but QA has bit me a couple times on this and for the life of me, even after researching, cannot find a 100% reliable answer to this question.  As always, thanks in advance! ...

Hints For Brand Names Vs Generic Drugs

I was hoping some more experienced MTs could help me with something.  I am struggling with remembering which are brand names and which are generics (so I know to cap them or not).  Is there some trick to this?

Need Opinion - When You Hear ACE Bandage, Do You Think Brand Name Or A Generic Bandage
Nov 05, 2010

I have been out-of-town, enjoying being away from Medical Transcription for a few weeks, and upon skimming through the posts that I had missed, I noted that there was recently a discussion on the Word Help Board regarding ACE Bandage and if it should be all caps or not.  The debate seemed to center around whether ACE should be used for “ACE inhibitor” and Ace for “Ace wrap” to avoid confusion.  if you are talking about the original ACE™ wrap or ACE™ ...

We shouldn't get yelled at for something totally out of our control.  ...
