to the person asking about the "AAMT BOS"

Where is our 'union' and seeing that all these injustices that are going on are addressed? This profession has been sold to the devil himself. Talk about Kathy Lee's sweat shops? I read for no pay. I type and look up, cross reference, research and no pay. No breaks, no lunch, just production. I have to calculate and make out time sheets and do my own time for no money and then when we type, the programs are calculating in a way that we have no i ...

After failing a test for a PT gig, I pulled out the old BOS 2 (don't have 3) and I am surprised at some of the things it is "requiring". Like, for instance, never hypenate words that will separate them at the end of a sentence. Now, I don't know about you, but what I type in, and what the final report looks like are completely different, so, how am I to know it will actually fall at the end of a line. Another thing, all these dang rules, when most accounts are verbati ...

Do we still have MQ online access to AAMT? Apparently I lost my short-cut when I changed computers. Thanks. ...

HELP PLEASE! In typing abbreviations on my account specs, it says following AAMT BOS, but the problem I am having is letters. They are using abbreviations that I should be expanded as it is a letter, (ex. MCP). I have read to expand these, but for the life of me I cannot find it in AAMT BOS... Any help appreciated. Thanks ...

What is even the PURPOSE of the AAMT/AHDI or whatever they call themselves now? They are in no way representative of me or any other MT that I know and in fact have been a key factor in the demise of medical transcription in my opinion. A bunch of no life having harridans trying and unfortunately succeeding in making themselves relevant. In other news, several fellow MTs have written to their state reps regarding offshoring and were told that inquiries into the matter reve ...

Do different medical transcription companies prefer 2nd or 3rd Book of Style? Seems as if I could buy a used 2nd edition from a website such as Amazaon cheaper than the 3rd edition, but I don't want to buy an edition that is not used by medical transcription companies. Your comments, please? TIA- Jane ...

I read a lot of negative stuff on this board about AAMT/AHDI - how they're screwing MTs here at home. Can someone explain? When I was taking the Career Step course all I ever heard were glowing comments about the RMT/CMT exams, Benchmark, etc. - so I'm a little surprised to read the negative comments here. I know that this industry is going down the tubes for lots of reasons, corporate greed probably being #1, and if AAMT/AHDI is a party to this, I'd like t ...

If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share? Just a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if we were told by our companies that from here on in, VR will pay as much as transcribing? pipe dreams huh? ...

On pg 97 of 2nd ed. AAMT it shows non-disease-entity but on pg 330 it shows non was a prefix that doesn't require a hyphen. So, shouldn't it be nondisease-entity ? I find this so confusing. ...

Whereas, the medical transcriptionist contributes significantly to the delivery and quality of patient care, while also helping to assure appropriate reimbursement, promote research integrity, and fulfill providers’ legal obligations through documentation of health services. Be it therefore declared that each medical transcriptionist has the following rights: The right to an appropriate job classification and pay level appropriate to one’s abilities, limitations, and responsibili ...

If anything..they are simply a Sales Convention for MTSOs and only have their interest at heart. There are never topics that relate to working as an MT or being properly represented. Instead we get the never ending changing BOS, or the CMT certification which AGAIN has changed...and btw..took a look a "sample" test and it has NOTHING to do with being an MT! It was more for a clinician. We are language specialists..not clinicians. I have been an MT for over 20 ...

Could someone please tell me why MTs are members of AHDI? Everytime I hear about a new "rule" from the BOS, it does nothing more than lower my line count once again. I really think that this organization is for the employers, rather than the MTs. The hospitals, etc, want you to follow BOS for all things that cut line counts, but then do it their way for other things. Drives me nuts the amount of times I have heard, this account follows BOS, except for............. & ...

Sent a new computer and I can't find AAMT Book of Style in MQCentral. Does anyone happen to know where it is in the maze??? ...

I am currently looking for a new online job. I have been doing medical transcription for nine years now but work for a small hospital. I do not currently have, nor does my hospital require, the AAMT book of style to be the set rules for our transcription department. We still use q.h.s. etc. I recently had a job interview but blew it because the company requires their MTs to know the latest AAMT book of style front and back. Is this a big deal to know this book word for word? Wonderin ...

According to AAMT Book of style, are medications numbered and listed?? ...

Is one or the other just a given? Please help! ...

posted directions on changing window color in Win 7. I changed mine to a light grey and somehow changed something when fiddling around with this that made the letters a more bold black color and what a difference it made. My eyes do not feel strained like they did with the stark white background and ligher black letters. Thanx. ...

Over 1000 seconds, took me 1-1/2 hours to do. Total waste of my time. Indian doctor who did not speak clearly. I can't wait to see my line count today...not ...

What exactly are the duties of a QA person? Whenever I make a mistake she lets me know, of course, but she is always adding a snide remark and make me feel like I am still in school. I am sick and tired of it. I am thinking about complaining to my CCM, but I am not sure I want go that route yet. I have saved all of her sarcastic comments. So I made a mistake, she is not perfect. She should just tell me about it and let it go. I am not stupid. I ack ...

Has not been given the go ahead for HIPAA training? I got 2 e-mails in the past few months from CCM, stating to have it done by "the date they say," but nobody ever gave me a date. I wrote to CCM who said "they" would be sending out an e-mail letting me know. Just hope I didn't miss anything for this year's. ...

Honestly, every time I get a big ding it is from one person. Everyone else seems to not mark me off much. Pardon my paranoia, but I just have to wonder if this person is targeting me and poring through my work until they find the one that has the errors and that's the one they end up reviewing. And about these "Major Errors" (or otherwise) - one middle digit off in platelets, really? 3 points? I know that is officially the rule, but to my knowledge unless platelets are particularly low or ...

I read what you wrote and it touched my heart. You sound like a really nice person who is just looking for the right option for you. I understand that. Like I said, it touched my heart, so I started brainstorming in your behalf from what I did and what might work for you. Please don't laugh at my suggestions. They come from my heart. You mentioned that you wouldn't be able to use the $1,000 for Andrews. I can't remember what school you were required to use it at, but ...

When a company decides to make an account VR, are all the reports a mess to begin with for weeks or months until the voice engine (sorry if that's the wrong term) learns from the "straight" transcription that is done? Why do different platforms matter (i.e., E-scription versus M-Modal, etc). Is it possible for a company to get an account and make it VR from day 1, or do they have MTs do regular transcription on it for awhile? I guess I'm just trying to figure outwhat I sho ...

There is this PA in the South. I want to hurt him badly. Seriously. I want to poke sharp objects into his eyes or something. He seems to dictate for everyone in this stinking hospital (which has the WORST sound quality, by the way) but he CAN'T TALK FOR CRAP!!!! I don't know what it is with this guy. He can't even pronounce his own name clearly. He talks as if he has his mouth stuffed full of cotton balls and Q-Tips shoved up his nose. All the wh ...

Please email me! I don't know how to get in contact with you but I sent my resume to the address you had in the post. I worked with you at the Q and hope you remember me. I listed your name in my email. A.P. ...
