Alternate headings for Diagnosis? - ksams


Posted: Dec 06, 2010

Struggling to understand a heading in a Discharge Summary.  It's used where the diagnoses are being listed, but it doesn't sound like either diagnosis/diagnoses or assessment.  Any ideas?

Impression? - no1joe

If it's near the end of the report, it could be "Disposition" maybe? Good luck.

Doesn't sound like impression or disposition. Sounds like it starts with an "s"....ugh...pulling my hair out! Thanks for your help!

Summary? - no1joe

Maybe? : )

Doesn't sound like that either. I'm beginning to wonder if it should go at the end of the previous sentence (though I still have no clue what he's saying), and he didn't dictate a heading at all.

About Red Headings Put In By ASR
Oct 11, 2012

While editing, have you ever come across a read heading that is not meant to be there and sometimes has nothing to do with what is dictated, and then, upon normalizing the heading with ctrl-shift-H, it shows exactly what was dictated?  This happens all the time with me, but this one really stood out.  The red heading was FAMILY AND SOCIAL.  What was dictated was "dairy and wheat."  Without typing what was dictated, I normalized the heading and, sure enough, "dairy and wheat" ...


Headings In 7.1
Oct 21, 2012

What bugs me is that since switching to DQS 7.1, all the headings in the ROS and PE are in lower case now, and each time I edit, I have to change them back to caps per client preference. They used to be in all caps. I have them in the expander, but it's still time consuming to go through and change them each and every time. ...

Watch Your Headings
Sep 09, 2010

Make sure your headings are spelled correctly before uploading as the spell checker ignores them completely, which makes me highly suspicious that they are not included in our line count whether we type them or insert them.  You know, DQS was the only good thing MQ had going for it until this update.  They had some good ideas, but implemented them poorly, not to mention should have done a beta with a handful of non-suck-up and non-family-member-to-the-CEO MTs first.  I have a fe ...

Anyone found a work around for this?  I'm finding the ctl+h very time c ...

Help Please. ASR Headings Are Different All Of The Sudden..-sm

Not sure if I did something or not, but all of the sudden my ASR headings are not like they have been.  The blue lines are gone and the next heading is directly below the text of the previous.  I  think this was how it was when a new version came out, but I was able to "fix" it to the old way. Is any of this making sense?  Also my Google, RxList and the rest of those sites you can access on the DQS page are off center. ...


Preferred Headings

I think every single one of us should put in a ticket in Remedy complaining about this "preferred heading" list.  There is absolutely no reason for this!  It just slows up down when trying to upload a job!  Can somebody tell me what the purpose is for the spell check stopping on every single heading that is not in the "preferred list?"  There is none!  All these dictators want their own little headings in red, and we're not going to switch to one of the "suggestions ...


EditScript/Headings
Oct 17, 2013

My EditScript keeps inserting headings (PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, CHIEF COMPLAINT, ETC) when they are not dictated.  With my accounts, I am required to delete any heading that is not dictated, and most of the time the dictators don't dictate them, so I have to spend a lot of time deleting headings, sometimes 10 or more in a report. :(   My question is, is there some way to "reprogram" EditScript so it doesn't spit out a heading if not dictated?  Otherwise I do like EditScrip ...

I really have a problem under the Physical Examination trying to figure out what goes where when the headings aren't dictated.  For instance, in this dictation, she dictates lungs, describes her exam of them, then goes on to say, "Mass in the back and the left paraspinous area is measured..."  Would this stay under the lungs or would I make a new heading...if so, if "Back" an acceptable heading? Next, she talks about the pelvis...would this go under a heading with a "Pelvis" labe ...

Verbatim Accounts And Headings

I have all verbatim-verbatim accounts and only just now learned that we have to change what the dictator says and change it to an "approved heading."  I was once told this only pertained to non-verbatim accounts, but was just corrected.  I was told that ALL OF THE CHECKED headings in the headings pane must be included in the document.  If the doctor says procedure, you must put in an approved heading into the standard changing what he says if in the approved headings list it says ...

Spell check stops on the same headings every time and have to be ignored.  Why can't some commonly used ones be added to the list? There are all variations of Lab and X-ray Data, but the docs all say Imaging.  They all say Home Medications.  Why can't those be put in the list? It's got Respiratory Assessment in the list - how often does that actually get used? Okay all you people who are so concerned about my production, why can't this be fixed?   ...
