Preop patient in assessment and plan. How to expand - AchyHead
Posted: Aug 13, 2012
The patient is planned for surgery. The physician will come and "preop" him the day prior to surgery. How would you expand that? Thanks for any suggestions.
tricky - Sm
[ In Reply To ..]Well in this case, we know what the doc means, (" The physician will come and do a preoperative assessment on him the day prior to surgery." However, it would depend on the doc whether adding things here and there is sort of the way you would type for him. but in this case, I would say just leave it how you have it....
preop - do you need to
[ In Reply To ..]Does your client profile tell you to expand or is it verbatim? This is acceptable in a verbatim account.
depends on account parameters - SM - je suis MT
[ In Reply To ..]If verbatim, would put in quotes, as you have.
If you're allowed latitude to correct grammar, etc., would expand to "...perform preoperative assessment for him...".
Slang - no transcriptionist's best friend. Good luck!

Is There Anyone Who Was Not Negatively Impacted By The Patient Safety Compensation Plan?
Apr 02, 2015
My understanding is that the earnings of Nuance employees in the transcription division were negatively impacted by the initiation of the patient safety compensation plan. If the original incarnation of the patient safety compensation plan caused an increase in earnings for your specific team, it was quickly amended to not only negate that change, but to also result in a decrease in earnings by 30-70%. Is that correct across the board? Is there anyone who did not receive ...

BS "Patient Safety Compensation Plan"
Jan 20, 2015
I have never hated a company as much as I do Nuance! They should have called it the "Screw the employee compensation plan" because that is just what it is. I feel like I work in a third world country and get paid 1 or 2 cents a line - that's probably next! Last paycheck even though I had 99 percent QA and 2 percent QC, I figured it out I made about $9.00 per hour. I'm sick of this and can pretty much go anywhere for this kind of money. Can you say CORPORAT ...

This means 65% will see decrease and/or paid minimum wage. They are touting this as the great new comp (local Burger King is advertising job for $10/hour). Anyone find out if the QC percentage is just for blanks or include all sent to QA including Audio issues, etc, and will EQA be included. Also, trying to figure out our pay from week to week is going to be a pain. I am going to see how this new comp plan works out, but since the conference call, I'm not feeling pos ...

Warning: Don't Expand BPH In The Diagnosis/impression, Leave As Is.

I got a style error minor deduction for this, because it could also refer to "benign prostatic hyperplasia." I was actually aware of this terminology controversy in the medical community in terms of what the actual meaning is, but I've never once had "benign prostatic hyperplasia" dictated in over 18 years of MT, regardless (has anyone else?). However, I should somehow intuit that Nuance wants it done this way (though I've been expanding it for over 2 years now with never a corre ...

Personality Assessment Test
Apr 03, 2013
Hello, Smart People- Has anyone ever been asked to take a personality assessment when you're in the running for a job position? I applied for a patient sitter position at a local hospital and they said I was in the running and would I please take an assessment. It was a personality assessment (I could just tell), but I don't think it was the MMPI--the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index. There weren't enough questions for that one. FYI: The job description for which I'm ...
