HEENT terminology - Shirley
Posted: Nov 06, 2009
Patient has pain in the right submandibular triangle. It is recommended that he have a "sialadenosubmandibular duct endoscopy." Is there such a term? Thanks.

I did see that. Patient also has sialadenitis, so I do not know if physician was creating his own word or if there is such a term. Thanks for your response. I will flag it and move on. :)

I have been a clinic transcriptionist for 14 years in all specialties but have very little hospital experience and no experience with OP notes. I started a new job this week and was asked if I wanted to try hospital/OP notes so I said sure. I figured since my production and accuracy were going to be lower due to the new platform, account specs, dictators, etc., it would be as good a time as ...
I am going to paste the paragraph two words are located in that I'm having trouble with. I am hoping that someone who is familiar with radiology terminology can help me out on this. It sounds to me like the physician is saying: subcurrent and precurrent.
I've gone to every source I can think of, but no luck in confirming that this makes any sense.

I think my problem with this issue is that once you are "caught" by QA/QC and given a 1.0 deduction (by which I mean I had the universally accepted HEENT and they heard HENT, thus I was docked 1.0 for that), I now must either listen carefully to determine if they are saying HENT or HEENT, then put one or the other, then still have a chance that my reviewer will give me the error because they hear something different.
If there is obviously ears and eyes that one is easy, but oftentimes it DOES s ...
From now on, I am blanking HEENT/HENT any time I am not 100%, absolutely, positively sure of what the doctor says. Especially if they don't say anything at all (which is the usual).
This is utter ridiculousness and I am not going to risk a QA (or QC or whatever it is!)'s subjective opinion about whether a dictator said (or meant) one E or two!

When I requested reversal over getting gigged on this I spelled my thoughts out pretty thoroughly but don't know how far up the chain of holiness that goes.
Has anyone else shot off their opinions on this? Hoping if we get enough of us to make an issue they might reverse this idiotic ruling.
