I give them what they - pay for and not new, nm

I think most of us do. I have bills to pay to - need to make $$. - mt2

Me too, speed is #1, no longer care about bogus 99% - anon

Totally agree ! s/m - mt2

Let's face it - it's a racket these companies are - running. I wish it would land them in jail! nm

Not going to officially "Dislike" your post, but I really do dislike the gist of it. - Patient care should still be a priority.

It is no longer a group effort to assure that - records are correct SM

If the offshore MT who was working for Precyse hadn't made that error, - then that person would be alive.

No it SHOULD BE a group effort and it isn't - anymore. It seems that SM

Sorry but to say an MT is the key to patient's life is pure BS. - anon

That's not what I said at all, said the MT is a part of the group effort. - sm

where does it say MT is Key to Patient's Life? - n/m

Right in the title of her post. - nm

You apparently didn't read beyond the title. - the poster of that post (nm)

I'm not the person who was arguing about it. - just answering the question

I don't agree. The nurse (or whoever it was) - should have known SM

what the doc's culpability was.  He hadn't read or signed the report yet.  But perhaps he was contacted and told them to use his DS, even knowing he hadn't read it? (assuming he ever would have "read" it)

"The hospital violated its own procedures and multiple national patient safety standards by using the unreviewed, unsigned Discharge Summary to write admission and medication orders for Sharon Juno's admission to a local rehabilitation facility."

"Still, Finbohner said, the error never should have resulted in Juno’s death because the nurse at Thomas Hospital should have used the original document prepared by the doctor – the so-called medication reconciliation form. She testified that the original form was not available because it was being scanned.

So she used the discharge summary prepared in India and wrote the medication information onto the physician admission order containing the doctor’s signature. It made it appear as if the doctor had confirmed the information about the medication when he had not, Finkbohner said."

I'd like to know what the other two "critical errors" were in the transcript (as per the "three critical errors" mentioned in the Marketwatch.com article).

Not an MT error, it isn't the MTs responsibility - anon

You get what you pay for. How long do they - think we will put up with SM

I have a doc who continually signs - miffedmt
