We were told recently a doctor was complaining about the quality of our reports. I thought that strange as he has no accent and speaks very clearly. I just did a report of his and his complaints are....do not use 1, 2, 3, etc., spell out one, two, three, etc.., do not leave off THE patient and just type patient at the beginning of a sentence..do not leave off LABORATORY IS AS FOLLOWS and just type LABORATORY, type what I said. I said..right on, doc, my sentiments exactly. These rules and regulations put in place make our reports look terrible..I refuse to put in 2nd or 3rd, etc., I type out second, third, etc. So, his complaints were not about us, it was about the format that MM put into place for these reports..
