Posted: Apr 27, 2010

Hi,

I do not know how to type a lab test. He says C diff toxins. Would that be typed as C. diff toxins?

Thanks

C diff is the abbreviation for Clostridium difficile. It would depend on your client, account instructions, etc., if you should expand the abbreviation or not. According to the BOS, the genus name (Clostridium) can me abbreviated by its first initial without a period, but the species name should be spelled out. If your client/account instrutions are to follow the BOS, then in this case you would transcribe this as C difficile.

Hope this helps :)

Shift differential is applied to lines transcribed after, say, 6pm. MQ's shift diff was 1/2 cpl for lines transcribed 6pm-midnight EST, and 1 cpl for lines transcribed midnight-6am EST. Now, it appears MQ's shift diff is 3/4 cpl for lines transcribed 9pm-5am EST. CMT differential is simply an increased line rate, regardless of when the lines are transcribed. It's basically a higher rate of pay for obtaining certification. The shift diff would be in ad ...

can anyone out there tell me what kind of differences there are between transcription companies? most important thing i'd like to know - are there any companies out there that actually assign accounts to their transcriptionists, where you're not getting a thousand different dictators a week and you can actually get used to how your docs dictate? i find it very hard to do different stuff all the time. i just can't seem to get used to how the docs speak, and it really slows me down ...

I don't see any shift diff on my stub, how do you know if you qualify? I know dumb question right? at one time I was told that since I was "hourly" and tier 3 I was at the highest rate already, but then they changed us to production pay, so shouldn't that mean I qualify for shift diff. I will ask HR, but just curious if anyone get shift diff pay? ...

Why they don't just do away with it altogether is beyond me; they may as well, it's just an insult to our intelligence. I'd rather just them just say, "sorry, no more bonuses, no more shift diffs." It reminds me of when they did away with the production bonus early last year but replaced it with a "raise" for all of us. It sounds good on paper until you sat down and figured it out........and for most of us the raise amounted to literally pennies a day. So ...
