Copy and paste into Meditech from Word? - LB1234

Posted: Jul 29, 2010

I want to type in Word and paste into MediTech, which is hard to type in.

Does anyone know how to do this? Right now the text I "paste" onto the clipboard in Word does not paste into MediTech.

Thanks

There is no way that works. Meditech does not recognize any of the formating from word, i.e., tabs, bold, underline, etc. The report paste all over the place and it is a 5 to 10 minute job reformatting in Meditech. I have worked in Meditech for the past 15 years and it does not work and there is no way to make it work. My suggestion is you just get used to typing in Meditech. I agree that it is not the most user friendly program but I have never had a problem meeting my production in all the years I have typed in it.

I do that - it does work

type your document, highlight and do CTRL C to copy, then open Meditech, fill out header, when you open typing page, at the top of the page, look for the word "edit," right click, then click on paste.

While the report is pasting, I go back into word and start typing next report because it takes so long. Then, flip back when done pasting and make sure that everything is aligned. I sometimes have to delete a space on the left side, or enter the paragraph back in place, or ShiftF6 to make line full, but not that often.

I find it a huge timesaver doing it this way. Hope I explained it well enough.

Thanks greatly. I will try this out. - LB1234

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain. I will try it out when I get time this weekend.

I appreciate so much you replying. I did think there was a way to have MediTech LOAD Word instead of its own screen, it asks for in the VIEW section, but I cannot figure out how to get it in the typing section. I wanted to research that, but always typing! Ha ha.

Thanks again so much. Have a great weekend- tx.

I've been using Instant Text for years but realized that there are probably quite a few macros I could create in Word 2010 to make certain repetitive commands a lot easier for me. I know the basics of creating a macro in Word but cannot for the life of me figure out how to create a macro to do this: I want to copy text,(i.e. from a Preoperative Diagnosis) and have it pasted into the next line after the heading Postoperative Diagnosis when the dictator says "same." I tried recording ...

Printscreen usually works to copy a screen image, and you can paste that from the clipboard to any program, like Paint. When you cannot use the "Print Scrn" key to copy, just open up your task manager "control+alt+delete," and when that pops up THEN you can "print scrn and paste with the report in the background. All those bogus FIESA mistakes QA has been assigning to me are coming back to them big time with proof those were not my errors. ...

I really need someone to answer this. I have been accused of adding spaces to my documents, but my argument is that cutting and pasting the doctor's templates in a document used over and over (changing any parts he wants changed) is adding spaces. I did not do this on purpose. Has anyone ever had this type of issue before? Or am I alone? ...

The first report I tried this with, I was able to copy into a Word document. The second tiime I tried to cut and paste, the first report kept showing up.

I work for a small hospital and we have just recently started typing our H&P's into EMR. The problem with EMR is that it uses Word (not Microsoft Word) and we have no auto correct and no medical spell checker. We were told that we could not get either installed in the EMR. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Also, we were told that we could not cut and paste into the EMR, which is what we had been doing due to no auto correct or spell checker, because it is noncompliance with the H ...
