Doctor's or doctors in the heading of a letter

The following is from a Facebook post from a physician friend of mine. This is a letter he sent to his congressman. I got permission from him to post it here. Long read, but I feel galvanized by this: I have been dealing with 2 electronic health record (EHR) systems and it is clear that the technology is not ready for implementation. I feel they will increse cost, decrese access, and decrease quality of care in their current state. I encourage anyone reading thi ...

A few weeks ago, for no reason that I can find, I cannot get the first letter of a sentence to be in all caps automatically, (unless I do it manually.) The same for the letter " I " by itself when typed. It was always automatic and now all of a sudden it is doing this and I cannot figure out how to change it back. Has anybody else had this problem, if so, how did you fix it? Thanks, appreciate the help ...

This doctor describes the preop/postop diagnoses, type of anesthesia, and gives the surgeon's name (all of which I made separate headings for as it seemed he was dictating them). After the surgeon's name, he goes into a short description of the patient and a few physical exam findings as they pertain to the procedure. He does not dictate a heading or anything, although after his description of the patient, he dictates a new paragraph and a PROCEDURE heading. Should I put a ...

Dr. says Problem hashtag.....brain fart....do I number the problems? thanks. ...

talking about infected cysts under her arm in the axilla. would this go under trunk or extremities? Thank you ...

Dictated problem list: Transcribed problem ...

See y'all in 6 minutes.... :) ...

AHDI has stated "that obvious headings that are not dictated may be inserted but this is not required." Does anyone know if this applicable in verbatim accounts? Has AHDI issued any new or different rules in regards to verbatim account? ...

I have a couple of doctors who dictate without giving headings--I'm supposed to add these. What heading would I put "perineal exam" under in this report? He dictates it after the abdominal exam, but would that be the appropriate section to put this under? I thought of pelvic, but it really isn't a pelvic (female patient). ...

A friend suggested transcribing for the deaf, requires passing a 180-200 wpm test from conversation. Anyone done/doing this? It is a great consolation to get all of your support. MT Stars is wonderful to give us this opportunity. MQ never was able to maintain a professional forum. ...

We have just updated to Docqscribe 6.1 at our facility. Does anyone know if you can use the heading list function just for straight typing as we do not ASR. ...

I hear the doctor say Nature and Duration...Patient was admitted to ___ [PLACE]..... Is that right??? need serious help!! ...

I thought that DQS 6 was bad, but this 7.1 certainly topped that one. It seems to just randomly makes words headings whenever it feels like it. Just now, on a dictation clear as day, in the middle of a sentence, it decided that the word "the" was to be a heading. Why? ...

If you find missing text at the end of a sentence and a heading following, restore the heading ctl+shift+H and it usually is hidden under there..dont know why but you know they arent gonna fix it, so may as well try especially on those hard to figure out words. ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

Thereafter he was seen at the student health center where evaluation was undertaken. ...

Gait testing is part of the neurological examination and should therefore go under that heading. From my perspective, healthcare document integrity should hold sway over account specs or doctor preferences. Too many doctors think all that matters is what they say or how they interpret what is said, which is total bunk. If that were true, we would all just start typing melanotic stools every time one of these medical geniuses dictates that because certainly there isn't a do ...

From the KevinPho MD site: There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine. There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

Have no idea what it is. Can someone provide it please!!!!!! Thanks P.S. Do not download the fix! ...

This program is driving me nuts..how does it make headings in such stupid places??? the patient in red really?? And there is no rhyme or reason to when the program does it, so telling them what it is doing wont make a bit of difference..Other then to Stop making headings all together, it is soo much easier to create one then un-create one.. ...

Well, I have too read between the lines in that letter. I hope no one read it and said to themselves - well, I guess they do appreciate us - NOT. I also think they are going to take something away, whether wages or benefits. I have cut back everyway I can think of, dropped full coverage on my vehicle, cut back on my Dish satellite, which I do not have time to watch anyway, just buy the groceries I need, do not go anywhere unless I absolutely have to, etc. If things get mu ...

firm (Pepper Law)who will be handling the audits of companies for compliance with the laws regarding independent contractors vs employees. Dear Sirs, As a medical transcriptionist I am happy that the federal government will be cracking down on the companies that misclassify employees as independent contractors. This practice is rampant in the medical transcription field and I wanted to make sure that you are aware of this. These companies require a set schedule including a com ...

Got an e mail from CEO stating how wonderful the company is doing. Of course it is, we are producing more than every before and getting paid far less than ever before. Who would'nt turn a profit. Can't make my rent for the 2nd month in a row. ...

Can anyone tell me what the more preferred way to type the above sentence would be? Also, should I not use commas before "dated" and after the date or should I just straight type it "The report dated 08/12/09 states...." We have a few different opinions in the office (which only dictated and have somewhat poor use of the English language) and I would like to see what you, the MT community, thinks. Thanks! ...

Received a letter from MQ. Basically it is a thank you letter of how my efforts are paying off for MQ. How we had to adapt to change over the past 3-4 years. About off-shoring and basically how a survey will be coming in 2010. The company basically appreciates us, however, SHOW ME THE MONEY!! Instead, we get money taken away over the years and yet, they appreciate us. Overall, the letter was well written. Tell me what you think? I am glad they appreci ...

The conglomerate I type for mostly (which is about 30 university clinics, each with 150 or so non-English-speaking residents) sends almost everything in "letter" form. There is a useless letter standard, but I spend the first 1-2 minutes of the dictation on the address (and have to manually re-enter into the cc list), usually have to go Google to try to find how Dr. Swishandswash spells his name and address in Podunkville. It is killing me. There must be some way to stream ...
