VR not consistently putting 2 spaces after periods??? Anyone else? - SOSDD


Posted: Oct 30, 2013

have been noticing over the last 3 or 4 weeks that the sytem is not consistently putting 2 spaces after periods.  Used to not have to worry about this, but just one more thing to have to watch.   Also having to now watch auto expansions and change them back to the accepted short form.  Anyone else? Or have I just been here wayyyyyy to long? 

 

Make it a great day everyone!  A lot of times y'all make mine! 

I have one account that does it - Trampled underfoot

VR does it for one of my accounts, but it is the hospital's preference. When I type straight typing for them, though, it doesn't happen; there's no way I can un-train myself from putting 2 spaces after a period and they've never complained.

If I were you, if it comes through that way, I wouldn't change it.

Yup and the other day made a heading out of - someones name

Seems like recently VSR has taken a HUGE step backwards..

Make sure it's not in the client profile preferences - for one space not two

Many facilities prefer only one space, and the system complies with those preferences by default.

I wish the system complied - JustMe

I'm not sure what you mean that the system complies with those preferences. We have many accts that want us to type cc as dictated and it's on the CP but ASR always changes it to mL. I've asked about this and was told that many accts share the same grouping for ASR and so other accts must want it changed and there's nothing they can do about it.

They can do something about it, but they are unwilling to do the work. - dnr

They would have to create more program files which would make the program even bigger and take up more space. A long time ago I asked IT, and he especially mentioned that (disk) space it would take up.

Heck, they still can't get the program fixed so it puts in the doctor's names correctly in ADT without the question marks.

If ASR expands acronyms, expands the dates, changes cc to mL, even if it is against the CP, I don't bother to change it. Why take the time. Any time spent in corrections means less lines which means less pay, and I certainly don't need anything taking away from trying to make my 150 lph.

MTSO's Removing Spaces After Periods?
Nov 04, 2011

Have worked for a couple different MTSO's over the last few years. When copying and pasting prior reports I have typed into a new blank document, I have noticed 1 space has been removed after every period, colon, etc.  Anyone else notice this?  If the MTSO's are removing that 1 space, on every report, for every MT, I can't fathom how much $ that would save them in compensation payout... (over a month, over a year!); yet still charging the cl ...
