Training for 7.1 - Nature
Posted: Aug 07, 2012
About 6 weeks back I finished the training for 7.0. We were then told that go live was August 20, and that we had to do new training. I just did it. Ladies and gents, I am sorry to say I am scared to death. First of all, I have ADD, and it is hard for me to understand things right away. I am not stupid, but only a person with ADD understands what I am saying. I am going to go over all the training again and again, as that is how I learn things (even in college, even though I graduated with a 4.0, I had to study twice as hard as everyone else). Please encourage me that I will learn this. I am 64 years old, and I have lost some brain cells in the past few years. I hope this is not going to make me scared that I will get fired. I am nearly in tears now.
A little encouragement - See msg
[ In Reply To ..]If this helps any, they kept pushing our go-live date back for DQS. So I actually NEVER, EVER did the training.
I logged in and let the videos play and went and watched TV just so I could say I did it. I did not watch a single one of them.
The night before I was scheduled to start it, I logged into it out of curiosity to prepare myself and I just sat there staring at it trying to figure out what to do next. Finally, I decided to hit enter and from there, it was pretty much common sense. The first job loaded and I was off and running.
Its really not that big of a deal, I learned as I went and basically used the DQS 6 shortcuts to maneuver through the ADT screen, got into the report and went to work.
A FEW TIPS:
*You will need to turn on your Auto-correct when you first log in to make sure the first word of every sentence is capitalizes.
*You will need to enable your expansions.
*You will probably want to get rid of 2 of the 3 panels, which is easy to do.
You can do all of the above by clicking on tools, options and then there will be tabs located for you to click on in order to make the necessary changes. To turn on expansions I think you just have to do CTRL E and click enable expansions, but not sure.
Just post here with questions, I have seen lots of people helping each other out.

[ In Reply To ..]Thanks so much. I printed out your suggestions so I would have them on hand.
Don't panic - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I think the training video makes DQS7 look way more complicated than it really is. It basically just looks different from DQS6. It isn't apparent from the video, but you can get around the same way you always did. After your first couple reports you'll "get it."
IMPORTANT ADDITION TO THIS - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry to scream but CCM sent us some tips and you just need to hit F2 and that turns on the autocorrect to capitalize first word. This is important if you're an MME because if you have it on it capitalizes first word when you're correcting QA markers which you don't want.
So again, just typing F2 turns on and off the autocorrect for capitalizing first word of sentence.
I use "t" for the and at beg of sentence it comes all caps - any idea how to fix? nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
mine does the same thing - drives me crazy!
[ In Reply To ..]Would love to fix this too.
I just live with it - MT
[ In Reply To ..]When I fix it so it is not capitalized, it messes up other things, so for me, its easier and faster to just fix it. I use IT and don't know any other way around it. If anybody else does, would love to know.
also, when I put like otc and pops out OVER-THE-COUNTER - in all caps instead of small letters
[ In Reply To ..]like it used to.
Can you change lowercase the to tt? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nnnn
I mean change in SH to two T's. - nm
[ In Reply To ..]nmmm
To get you started - sm
[ In Reply To ..]When you first log in a couple of jobs will load. After the jobs are loaded:
1. Hit enter.
2. ADT screen will come up.
Use your DQS 6 shortcuts in ADT screen:
ALT S to search patient demographics.
ALT A to accept.
ALT I will bring up drop down menu, scroll through to click on date of service.
ALT F to add a cosigner or "dictated for"
ALT O to leave ADT screen and go into report.
If you should have to change a work-type, look in the upper left hand corner where it says work-type, click on the minus sign and you will get a drop-down menu of report types.
Once you are in the report then you can:
1. Click on tools.
2. Options.
There will be a few tabs available, click on view if its not already up. Then for "Job Summary info" click always on top. That will get rid of one of the side panels and show that info only at the top of the screen like in DQS6.
Then under auto-hide click "hide bottom panel" to hide QA panel at the bottom of the screen. Once you do that, it will stay that way and you should only have one panel left on your screen which will be Client profile.
You can hide that one too, but I prefer to keep it open so I can have easy access to the job look-up tab and headings feature when I need to use it.
All the shortcuts are the same with the exception of a few new ones, if you plan on using the google feature etc.
You will be fine, dont worry. If you just do all the above, maybe copy and paste this info. that is really all there is to it. Of course there are other features, but the main thing is getting use to the program first.

Every day ASR gets increasingly of base. There are so many times when I have to sit and search each line looking for anything that remotely resembles what is being clearly dictated. It started out with maybe 35% accuracy before editing. Now it barely makes 20%. It inserts phrases that were never dictated, apparently just because that dictator dictated that phrase at one time in the past on a different patient. It is having fun with "ALLERGIES" now. It started off only usi ...

Regarding The Old Reports Used For Training At MDI
