A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
In transcription, when a doctor dictates 12/4 or December 4th what is the correct way to type this? I need this information when I'm taking a test to find a job because the doctor has not been giving the year and from what information I've read I should type out the date as December 4th??
Another question I have is on a test if the doctor transcribes out of order such as first he says medications, and then next he says social history, and then next he says chief complaint, do I arrange this as chief complaint first and then medications and then social history?? I feel as though they are trying to confuse me when I take a test. The companies don't say what they want and I know I should know this but I'm nervous about passing a test.
Thanks for your help!!
