ABBREVIATE Program

Does anyone know if either Shortcut or Abbreviate expanders are compatible with Docqscribe? I'm looking for something similar to Smartype. thanks! ...

I know some are obvious, like MRI, but how do you decide what is okay to abbreviate and what is not? For example, I am transcribing for a neurologist/sleep study doc and he uses CPAP, COPD, and JVD a lot. Are those to be spelled out? In school, we learned that everything should be spelled out, but I have seen evidence to the contrary in several books. What is your opinion? ...

Does anyone know how to convert a .txt file to .abr to be converted to use in Abbreviate? I have an older Abbreviate directory with 3000 entries and I have 5000 entries in a .txt file from Bayscribe's word expander. ...

Does anyone know of a way to download Abbreviate, or of a comparable word expander that would accept my painstakingly-built Abbreviate expansion list? Thank you in advance! ...

subcu, sub-cu, sub-Q, etc..? TIA ...

I have noticed a disturbing trend with the doctors I transcribe for. They will dictate medications in a dangerous way. For example Nexium 40 rather than Nexium 40 mg. They are seldom dictating mg, mcg, etc. I find this dangerous and wonder if it is laziness on their part or apathy or something else. Not to mention that it falls on the MT to "help them out" so to speak which takes time. I just find it frustrating. Thanks for listening. ...

The doc is dictating a monograph and she says: The aorta may dilate later in pregnancy, and the woman who already has a dilated aorta is at risk of dissection and rupture (reference Pyeritz). Do I abbreviate reference as Ref: Pyreitz? Or spell it out? TIA...... ...

I know you have to be drawing unemployment to quality for this. Does anyone know exactly what this is and what the benefits are? ...

I had a company send me an IP address to take a test. Once I e-mailed them back and asked what in the world am I suppose to do with this, they told me I had to have a FTP program. I tried one and it confused me to no end. Does anyone have any ideas on FTP programs? Thanks a lot! ...

Is it just me, or is this Cornerstone BS this just another way to chip away at our paychecks? ...

The abbreviation "q.d." is listed as one of the dangerous abbreviations and we are not supposed to use it, ever. Yet when someone dictates the word "daily" in a report, ASR routinely substitutes "q.d." in its place. This is just wrong and has to be corrected manually. ...

These counts just seem awfully low to me for some reason..wouldnt be the first time they skimmed them...short of actually sitting and counting characters was wondering if there is a program out there that I could use ...

I have hired a CPA friend to do my taxes the last umpteen years and now would like to just do it myself with TurboTax or the like. Does it work well for schedule C... and all the few deductions, health insurance premiums, etc., or am I best to fork over the big bucks? Thanks, Connie ...

This is an elderly female with a ton of issues. Her diabetes is way out of control, and the doctor is looking into switching her to a Lantus "xyz" program. Thanks. ...

Are there any free fax software programs? ...

I like how they try to make this seem great. It's probably no better or worse than we were before with the monthly incentives. When I got that email that said "line rate change" I really thought it was another pay cut. I tried to figure how much the increase would be. I figured that the raise would give me 7 cents more per hour or about 56 cents a day? That can't be correct, although considering who we are dealing with.....maybe it is? How do you figure exactl ...

Hi everyone. Has anyone had any experience with MedLi ne Sc hool of Medical Tran scription ? I can't find any posts on that school. Any graduates from there? Thanks, Brenda ...

Has anyone here completed the Allied program? I'd appreciate hearing about your experience, any job assistance they may provide, & whether you'd make the same choice if you could do it again. Thanks! ...

I downloaded ExpressScribe but the sound isn't that great. I'm not sure if it's my file or if there's a better FREE program to download. The files I'm trying to transcribe are .dss. Don't mean to be cheap, but I don't want to buy a program to test on if I'm not going to need it later. ...

Eiight years ago I took a transcription course through a local school that offered the SUM program. It was intensive training for nine months and earned a certificate for completing the program. I went to work for a local hospital and transcribed doctor's dictation; which included ER, radiology, psych, and scope reports. Plus various reports that came accross overnight, I worked the 3-11 pm shift. I did this for eleven months, until the hurricains hit Florida and fo ...

Does anyone here that uses IT have problems with capitalizations after periods in ASR? I know it was always an issue with ASR and even with docqscribe expander, but not sure if using IT would capitaliize the first letter after the period. TIA ...

I just received information in the mail from Penn Foster for their medical coding and billing program. The booklet says that the program will provide students with the skills necessary to obtain entry-level employment as medical coders, coding specialists, medical billing specialists, and medical insurance clerks. It also says that you can earn 18 credits toward an associate degree in medical assistant or 17 credits toward an associate degree in health information technology at Penn ...

Does anyone know of a good shortcut program out there? I am looking into part-time transcription to supplement my income from the Q. Please let me know. Thank you in advance. ...

it is virtually impossible to get your required lines without working 10-12 hours a day. I have never seen such a mess. It is worse now than when it was first started. Nothing makes sense. The numbers it spews out are all wrong, medications are a joke, and even the word associations are unbelievable. Isn't someone supposed to be monitoring this program to make sure it works or is this just another burden added to the MLS to fix a mess without getting paid extra ...

now I don't know if I want to be a coder :(. I planned on taking the CPC and then after a few years taking the CCS. Before I started my program, I was naive and didn't realize how difficult and complex coding is. I don't know that I can sit in front of a computer for 8 hours and code all day long. It's almost too much like MTing (desk work, I mean). Plus, I am not confident in my ability to even pass the CPC. I am not very satisfied with th ...
