Follow up vs followup ...

Can someone please tell me what the new and improved BOS rules are for the use of these words? ...

when not used as a verb is it hyphenated or one word? ...

Is follow up one word or two, such as "the patient returns for follow up of right knee pain." Half the girls I work with do it one way and I have always done it as two words. I would just like to know who is correct. Thanks for any help. ...

Help guys! I have been working with numbers all day, which is not my cup of tea! I am totally brain dead right now. If the doctor states the patient is to have cardiology followup, it would be followup, or is it follow up? ...

Like to share a link about when to use followup and when to use follow up! ...

It's always the little things that snag me up. I know the rules on follow up as a verb and followup as a noun and adjective, but when a doc says, "CHIEF COMPLAINT: Follow up acne", does he mean "recheck acne" which would make follow up a verb and thus spelled follow up, or does he mean "here for a followup of acne"? and thus the followup spelling. What is the general rule on this "shortened" statement? Thanks. ...

Does anyone have a good way to explain the difference in how to use them? ...

Someone once told me a word to substitue that would let you know which follow up to use. Does anyone know what that word is???? ...

Hello Ladies....where I work we are diving into the Book of Style. I am having a hard time determining when to use followup (one word) versus follow up (2 words). Can anyone post any examples of the correct usage and/or anything you use to help you know which way is correct? Thanks ...

I know how to use followup and follow up in most circumstances, and I thought I knew how to use it in all circumstances. However, what about in these instances: CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up. CHIEF COMPLAINT: Followup/follow up of left knee pain. I was 100% confident in myself, but QA has given mixed feedback... ...

Well, in trying a couple of your suggestions, I find it did not make a substantial difference. I found I already try listening ahead and I had been using ctrl M to jump around the report when I need to, but never works for going faster through the actual report because I can't tell what is background gibberish while the dictator is thinking and what might be the dictator. Leading me to believe it must have a lot to do with the account. I can never go too far ahead of the d ...

Can anyone please give me a reliable source to verify the correct way to type small-bowel follow-through? Appreciate any help. ...

On the 3 horrible reports that I had to submit to QA yesterday because of the 3-blank rule, thus losing 3 cpl probably, QA had no more luck filling in the blanks than I and sent them through with 5-10 blanks. That makes me so mad -- not at QA, just in general that I get penalized financially when it was the DOCTOR'S FAULT AND THE PICKY FACILITY'S "RULE." ...

What is up with this company? Maybe they lost accounts but at least they could have let me know so I'm not just waiting for training. ...

http://www.dol.gov/compliance/guide/layoffs.htm WARN protects workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs. Advance notice gives workers and their families some transition time to adjust to the prospective loss of employment, to seek and obtain other jobs and, if necessary, to enter skill training or retraining that will allow these workers to compete successfully in the job mark ...

Has anybody who applied for the work comp orthopedic job from AccuMed got a response yet? I'm just following up from last week when no one, including myself, had gotten a reply to their application/resume. Thanks. ...

It's been a long time since I interviewed face-to-face, as I did today at a hospital, and I am wondering if I should follow up with a thank you note for their time; what do you think? ...

I think it is a ridiculous thing to lose points over, but I am INSISTING that the way I typed this sentence is correct: The patient returned to the cancer center for followup of her metastatic cancer. Isn't "returned" the verb in this sentence? I am adamant that followup should be one word here, but I am being told it should be "The patient returned to the cancer center for follow up of her metastatic cancer". This is making me crazy. The explanation I r ...

I am just curious to know if everyone was placed on other accounts or not after losing your account. I am still waiting to be put on another account, but I am looking for more work. Thanks ...

"She was hospitalized April 9 with ____ with hip fracture with open reduction and internal fixation and then, several days into hospitalization, she developed mild stroke with facial droop." Sounds like "nonsacable 4". I have no idea and would appreciate any help. He says the same word/words later in the report, "Prior history of transient blood pressure drops and ____." TIA ...

Last night I had a company call me because they were interested in me working for them. I had taken the test about 2 weeks prior. My question is how long should I wait to send a followup email? She sounded like she wanted to get me started ASAP but needed to check with my references first. I keep imagining the worst and thinking my references weren't that great and I won't hear back. Thanks so much for the advice!! ...

Hi guys, Having a discrepancy regarding captilization of the words, especially if they are following a proper noun. Example: Severstal Sparrows plant dispensary, Macy's storeroom. In the above examples, is it mandatory to captilize the nouns that follow a proper noun. i.e., Severstal Sparrows Plant Dispensary, Macy's Storeroom. Please do the needful. Thnx, Syd ! ...

I ask this because in my pre-employment test with M*Modal, I got dictations where they dictated the wrong punctuation and I edited it according to the AHDI Book of Style, which is one of my chief references when transcribing. I got a reply back from M*Modal saying that my results of their pre-employment test "did not match their criteria", whatever that means. I got the same reply from Acusis, another company that rejected me on the grounds that my results "didn't make the cut." Was ...

I would like to thank you all for the many responses I received regarding my post last week, regardless as to if they were positive or negative responses. When I posted I knew I was putting my head on the chopping block so to speak. I respect everyone's opinions. and the reason behind all prior posts was to share my experiences with Transcend and hoping others would share theirs (good or bad) as well as to "vent," as I felt I was facing this situation a ...
