nine pages of instructions for new BOB - SA4 MT

Posted: Jun 24, 2010

To anyone who got the 9 pages of instructions from the new CCM: Can you make heads or tails of these instructions and screenshots!?

Hit ctrl twice, then go back and make sure the old patient's name isn't in the field, then ctrl L, then fill in the dictated for, make sure it's who they say it is, then stand on your head while underwater weaving a basket...

OMG the new work started to roll in today (PHHS) and I am having to jump back and forth from the instructions to the actual work! I've been working since 8:30 a.m. and have 5 whole reports done! Those will probably be audited and get me on the pay cut list!

I mean for real???? 9 pages of instructions on how to access the ADT info and fill in the "dictated by, dictated for..."

Calgon take me away.... I mean vodka.

I'm in SA4, have had NJA... You get a new BOB at least. I've got no work. I'd gladly read through 9 pages of instructions for any work.

I need a sign: WILL READ FOR WORK. LOL.

A perfect example of why MT/MEs should not have to handle ADT - anon

screens at all! Sorting out all this demographic minutiae is a HUGE waste of our transcribing and editing skills. Moreover, we are not even paid to do it (if anything on the ADT screen is included in our line rate I was never made aware of it), yet we can be fired if we make errors on it that constitute HIPAA violations. FOUL!!

IMHO, the info on the ADT screens should
NEVER leave the client facility's data base. Once the dictator fills out a screen he/she should upload that, then be prompted to begin dictating. Only what he/she says from that point on should be sent out for MT/ME processing.
When we upload our portion, it should then be rejoined with the original demographic file. Any ADT errors that preclude uploading into the medical record should be handled locally. That would make MT/MEs far more productive, and would probably reduce HIPAA violations because the protected info would stay in-house.

I mean, who is reponsible for the accuracy of the demographics in the ASR programs with 100% front-end editing (SpeechQ and others) that don't even go out to MTs? If that ADT info can be uploaded into the patient record without MT/MEs looking at it, why can't all ADT info?

If those highly educated doctors could EVER - figure out a medical

record number from a phone number, social security, number, date of birth, or whatever, our ADT troubles would be so much fewer. But nope, they don't have to.

re: anon - method to madness

IMO it's all a plan to maintain their high MT turnaround. Out with the old and experienced, in with those who don't know better, yet.

I wholeheartedly agree, but MT's power in their field has been taken away by the suits who haven't a CLUE!

Just curious how many pages the typical or average account specifics are if there is an average. Mine is 54 pages for 1 facility, IC position, scheduled shifts. I don't think that meets the definition of an IC per the IRS. Do you have an IC position or employee? Per IRS website........You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of ...

Should have searched here before testing. The instructions said to use a semicolon so that's what I did. Thought it was awkward and strange, but following instructions. Now I see people have failed the test following those same instructions. That just sucks. Now I wait for my reject letter. ...

I am posting the information here on how to use this macro and what it does. I will follow this with another post that has the actual macros (there are two of them.) Basically this macro adds your drug to your autocorrect in lower case, and then autocorrects to the way it should appear. But you need to type into the box the way you want the drug to look. For example, AcipHex. You would type in "AcipHex" into the box but what is entered into autocorrect is: "aciphex ...
