Referral to a dermatologist for a chronic s/l *DPSP* skin condition??? - LB
Posted: Dec 02, 2011
Sounds like...Referral to a dermatologist for a chronic "DPSP" skin condition. Not sure if she is actually saying DPSP, but that's what it sounds like...TIA!!!!
This patient has a lot of skin problems with ulcerations, fungal infections, decubitus ulcers, purulent drainage, etc. Doc says: "The patient had chronic lymphedema and areas of s/l 'scalding' and ulcers." Is this word scalding as in the skin appears red as if it had been scalded? Or is it something else? Any ideas will be cheerfully considered. ...
This is for a patient with eye swelling. The doctor states he has swelling and a localized "ponda" that shifts depending on his posture. Any guesses? ...
Read E-mail about referral program bonuses and plans, talking about needing lots of MTs for lots of shifts. Oh, the reason I am taking the time to post here is that I have NSA again. Have 3 accounts and occasionally help on a couple of others. Work will come in later this morning, but the problem is can only make up the NSA time on Friday afternoon/evening. That truly sucks. Guess I better spend my down time referring friends to Nuance huh?&n ...
Couldn't find a definitive answer to this question but it comes up a lot: One of the PA's I transcribe for is not consistent when they refer to the patient. They use the patient's first name and then last name throughout the report. I've been following how they dictate, but think it makes it look disrespectful to the patient to use their first name. What would you suggest? Also when the dictator says "patient" instead of "the patient" do you gen ...
So, do you hate anyone enough to refer them to Nuance? Their logic is mind boggling. Pay us 500 bucks to refer someone. How about pay us a decent wage we can live on and you won't have the mass exodus you are currently experiencing? Sorry Nuance, afraid your reputation will only attract the desperate and straight out of school. ...
So did anyone else receive an e-mail that some unnamed company was looking for 50 MTs, and if you responded, that persone-mailed you back asking to attach your resume so she can forward it to the company in hopes of getting a referral bonus? This person did not name the companye, so no idea what the real deal is! Sounds very suspect to me! ...
I have used acute-on-chronic for years, but more recently my VR prints out acute on chronic. Did I miss something? i.e. acute-on-chronic kidney disease. ...
S/s Chronic bysacalebrium from a spina bifida.
Not sure if it starts with a B. Sounds like it definitely ends with "brium". I'm having a heck of a time finding anything remotely like it or a list of things caused by spina bifida. ...
Here are some of my observances of chronic ASR errors, though sometimes it gets it right. Most are not a biggie, but one could get marked down on an audit.
1. BiPaP. Should be BiPAP.
2. Levothyroxine. ASR capitalizes the "L" for some reason. This med is a generic for the brand Levothyroid. Should be levothyroxine.
3. FIO2. Should be FiO2.
4. Hospice. In the English dictionary, this is simply hospice. If a specific organi ...
Tonsillectomy report and it says, "She also has chronic tonsillus production?" It s/l tonsillus or tonsillis?
Does anyone know what that word could be? Thanks. ...
SOAP report, under A.
Is it transcribed as "Acute on chronic chronic obstructive pulmonary disease" or "Acute on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease"? ...
Doc dictates "The patient has a history of chronic kidney disease (stage 4 to stage 5) ?!?! is that how it is transcribed per the BOS II ... I just moved and cannot locate my book for verification. ...
