report samples - sm

Posted: Jan 30, 2010

How difficult is it to input samples in our repository? What good does it do us when so many docs don't have anything in it to view? I'm so sick and tired of getting mumbling dictators without any report samples to view. At least with a sample, you have something to compare the mumbling too that might make it easier to understand. What else is QATL doing these days besides audits? Shouldn't that be their responsibility to ensure there are samples for us to use? If it's not, then who's responsible for building this repository? We did have somebody emailing requests for samples. However, that was shot down abruptly by CCM as not the way to get samples and to ask QATL for them. Hey, who cares where the sample comes from. We all work for the same company and should be able to go within our area to get this information. I know I have my own growing compilation of sample reports and would most definitely be willing to share them with anybody in the company.

Aren't samples now considered a HIPAA violation? - Wondering

Seems to me the video we watched said that even if you remove the name, simply viewing someone else's medical records is a violation. Remember the guy who posted a sample without names or identification or dates or location on his facebook and he got a $25,000 fine? Aren't samples basically the same thing? In fact, wasn't one of the questions in the quiz something along the lines of, you cannot share someone's medical records with someone else in the company?

Wouldn't even the Repository be a violation of HIPAA in that case as all of the samples on there are someone's medical records that we are not authorized to look at willy-nilly even without the personal information?

No. There was something in the video about - use for educational

I have been doing some new accounts recently and I have requested some sample reports, which I have not gotten. Recently on a QA report I was told "be careful - you are missing some things" . I asked for examples and I was told copies were not made. Is this normal? I am new with nationals. I know I do make mistakes. But realisitically how can I improve if I am unable to view reports and cannot view my mistakes? ...

How do you go about getting samples of dictations? There is nothing in the repository and no sample reports by other MTs when I go through Documanage. These are the worse dictators in the world. I type a few words, leave a blank, etc. When I send them to QA (and get docked) they manage to fill in a couple of blanks and that's it. I have requested samples from my QC and have received no samples or even a response from her. Who else can I ask? I belie ...

DocQmanage: When you log onto DQM, add "dep" (no quotes) behind your ATP number. That will take you into a DQM area where you can search the MedQuist database by dictator, account, and the area from which you want to draw a sample, e.g., operative report or clinic (numerous specialities). The first time you use this area of DQM with the dep marker, you must have called customer support to allow access. Hasn't your CCM told you about this or is it reseved for certain MT levels?

Oh I will be so glad when they get all the hard dictator's samples up. Some of those ESL ones you can't make out a lot and when you don't have a sample to go by it is very difficult. They are working steadily on getting more and more up though so I can't complain, but I would have to get the ones who don't have samples up yet tonight. Nothing to do but leave blanks and send it to QA. ...
