Drs. who NEVER input patient names.

So, this being the most friendly and up-to-date board around regarding MT practices, can I get some opinions about the HIPAA 'privacy rule' and your doctors using patient names in their notes, clinic or otherwise. I am not sure how an HIM department can say to a physician how using a patient name in a transcribed report is not going against the Privacy rule in HIPAA. This kind of stuff just irks me!!!Any comments?? Thanks in advance.... ...

We will have the patient seen by anesthesia preop to make sure the pacemaker is properly cared for during the surgical procedure, which requires general anesthesia, and the use of the s/l **bovig** during the surgery. Thanks!! ...

Can someone explain to me why, if I get paid by the line, I spend so much time looking up doctor names, facility names, the local burger joint, etc, but I don't get paid for that? ?? I am going to throw in the towel with transcription and look for a job that pays by the hour. This line stuff is a joke. Can't get up speed or stay with a rhythm for stopping to try to find names of people, places and things. ...

Anyone notice their W2 now actually says Nuance Transcription Services and no longer Transcend DBA Nuance... Last year there were lots of comments about our W2's (all of us, not just those who came in from Transcend) saying Transcend. I even wrote HR to see what was up with that. They never told us about the change to Transcend and certainly didn't mention the change back to Nuance. Oh well. Just an observation. ...

etc anymore. Ideas? ...

Does anyone work for Q.E.D. ?

We are currently interviewing for full- and part-time positions in our acute care department. We're a growing service, in business since 1988.

Never thought I'd be posting this, but I need others' input. I have been working as an MT since 1988 and have lots of varied experience, including acute care, in different specialties. Until recently was only working part-time. I decided a few weeks ago to look for full-time work. Have been sending out resume' on top of resume', but so far have gotten zero response. Now I know companies are hiring, so I'm wondering . . . does anybody have an ...

Hey everyone out there in MT land! I am looking for some input from you all. I have started my own business in transcription, and we have clients and employees!! We are still small but we are growing VERY quickly. I have been doing TONS of research into lots of things. Some of the topics include offshoring (which we REFUSE to do...we are only for US and Canadian MTs), transcription wages, EMR concerns, as well as the entire process of transcription and how to make it easier n ...

I am transcribing a note and the assessment and plan sounds like s/l elaphesia ( I put alphasia) The patient has a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Does this word sound correct? She also dictated medication that sounds like s/l new genermac. Any ideas are appreciated. Have a good day! ...

I would like some information about what it is like to work at MQ. I know a lot of people are unhappy, as they are with any company but I am still considering accepting a position. Can any provide information on work flow, production averages on straight and ASR, insurance costs. I know every company has its pros and cons and I would like to hear from someone who has been there a while, knows the work available, dictation quality, etc. Any info would be greatly appreciate ...

We only have 3.?? hours every pay period of PTO until after 4 years with the company. I was off last week and for each day for PTO I indicated 7 hours per day. This will give me 1 extra day of PTO over the year at 7 hours pay. I do not know if that is allowed, they may require us to indicate 8 if we took the whole day off. Will see what happens about that. I wish I could put 6 hours per day, leaving me more hours of PTO. We have 2 days paid sick time, which I have ...

I am very happy to have found this forum. I thank you all for the input on companies. I worked for a company for three years and was frustrated to the point of going nuts. I broke three keyboards and threw books at the wall. I had never experienced this when I worked directly for a practice and had to leave there too. I messed up my left wrist trying to make the lines they expected and took 10-12 a day since their platform was so very slow. I ended up taking a medical month leave of absen ...

*some of the post is redacted due to inappropriate response below. not looking to jeopardize anyone's job at all. not sure if these questions are allowed, but would anyone be willing to share actual experience they have had transitioning to Nuance from a hospital - step by step - and any promises that were made and how they panned out. did you get to keep your same hours as promised. how long did it take before you were pushed into other accounts. were you told you would ...

For those "low-talkers" who won't spell the PA/PACs name, combined with my endless list of names, does anyone know the easiest way to just do a generic search for all of them? It's exhausting! Thanks, y'all! ...

Does anyone else ever have a problem with a doctor/nurse, etc. who sends out letters or just on regular reports who gives no complete names or addresses? We have a place to go look them up but it does sometimes take a chunk out of my time doing it. One or two minutes means a lot sometimes. I have one doctor who dictates letters to "Dr. Smith, Dr. Jones," etc. and there are only about 10 of each of those listed and sometimes you cannot tell what the specialty is to look it up.&n ...

When typing a name like Topicort - if it is cream or ointment, are those capitalized? Also Selsun shampoo - is the word shampoo capitalized? Thanks ...

99% of the wasted "down time" I have in my work day is trying to decipher doctor names, patient names, referral names, dictator names, resident/assistant names and I'm literally sick to death of it. From now on if I don't hear the name the VERY FIRST TIME it's said it's going to be LEFT BLANK. No more listening to it over and over and over and over trying to catch the first syllable or the last, or even a piece of the name - I sometimes spend 5 whole minutes PER R ...

I am pretty sure I read this in BOS but can't seem to find it now. Do you capitalize something like tetanus when it refers to the vaccine and not the actual condition? As in Tetanus Vaccine or Tetanus vaccine to prevent tetanus. ...

It must be too early. I've talked myself in and out of this but need a little help here. In names such as Martinez, when the sentence is, "she was sent from Dr. Martinez's office" is it Martinez's or Martinez'. Told you it was early. Would appreciate the help please. Thank you. ...

I have an opportunity to subcontract for a person who has accounts. She does not really have a "business" per se, e.g., no company name. She said she has hired nationally before and I was hoping to come here and ask if she paid on time, etc. But - I can't seem to find a way around it without naming names. ...

I have had offers from several different compaines this past week and I'm not sure which way to turn. Can anyone give me some input on AssistMed, The Transcription Docs and Ascott Transcription (ATS).Thanks! ...

I recently started working PT for a company. So far, everything has been great with them. Great work to do, good line counts, pay is on time every time and accurate. However, something in the back of my mind keeps bugging me. They didn't ask me to fill out a W-9 form. Is this normal for PT IC work? I mentioned it to them and didn't get a reply back about it. Perhaps, I'm just being paranoid, but I'd like to know your th ...

I also have an interview coming up with Transcend soon. I have done my research on this board and elsewhere. Are there any MT's out there who are willing to give some new and or good input into this company and why it might be worth it to work there? ...
