Posted: Nov 20, 2010
What are some good sites for sample op reports? This is the only real downfall I have with transcription and I would like to brush up on terms and procedures. Thanx!!

I personally like MT911.com. Not only is the name easy to remember, but they cover a lot in one place. They have samples, dictionaries, abbreviations, a little bit of everything.
Hope this helps you!
That's a good one! Another good one is mtsamples.com - Happy MT Robin

I like mt911. I hadn't run across that one before.
Mtsamples.com is one that has saved my bacon on a couple of occasions. I did my first ever cardiac stress tests over the summer and the reports I found here really saved me.
Just wondered, if any of the other MTs who pull past reports ever notice the amount of mistakes in them? It seems like this evening, each time I pull in a report for a certain dictator, I find so many careless mistakes in these reports! I thought they were pretty rigid in checking quality with these documents. I realize we have to fly through to make our lines counts, but gosh, some of this stuff is just plain carelessness. ...
I was plodding along with a mush-mouthed doc dictating, and badly needed some samples with standard phrases. I found this word-help site, and on there was a sample of exactly what I was working on, and I found the word I was looking for! Maybe it'll be of help to some of you out there, as well:
...
I am needing a sample of an ophthalmologic physical exam including abduction/adduction/ versions, LHT prime etc.. I need the terminology and layout.
I am testing for a compnay and have done mostly surgery in the past, which does not include a lot of these abbreviations. If you know if any good web sites for abbreviations for eye exams, I would appreciate that too.
Thanks! ...
The company I transcribe for has agreed to pay me per character line now instead of hourly rate, which is much more productive for me! Question being, do I submit my line count to them and how do they deduct my taxes still??? Where could I find a company contract for them so that we both understand that I'm still their employee but paid cpl and a flat rate when doing office tasks once in a while? Thank you for any samples/help. ...
Hi all. I was just wondering what other MTs prefer...little short reports or very long reports? Do too many of either affect your line count (and therefore your pay)?
I definitely prefer very long reports! ...
Should ER reports be a priority? I work in-house and this week our transcription department was ordered to type all ER reports as priority, before any inpatient or radiology work. The order came from the ER committee to our department head and down to the transcriptionists. Any thoughts on this? ...
does anyone know if this dqm lookup reports is working adequately. It seems like a whole lot of trouble to find any. I know this was discussed down below about where the heck is dq main menu and search. I tried looking up by dictator and its a waste of time as there are not any old reports there. Thank you to any help out there. ...
Can anyone tell me since MQ has gone with the Swap Board and First Time Right, and we are sending reports, etc. Have you had more frequency of being followed by QA? I was just wondering how that works? ...
I know I will be asking many questions in the coming weeks since I am going to be taking a more active approach to studying for the second part of my final. Can anybody please tell me where I can go to get more info on OB reports online? Some of the stuff that the doctor dictates is so hard to figure out since I am not familiar with the OB terminology at all. For example..here is the physical exam section of the report (keep in mind I have flagged certain sections). Here it is:
...
I used to be able to at my old job last year. Now I can't do it at my new job. I asked and was told it is because of HIPAA. Can you look up old reports at your job? It sucks that I can't do it. It would help a lot. ...
I love doing op reports even with the mandatory standards as I can insert my expansions and am very familiar with them (when I get my primary). Now it's all ASR and I have to use those standards. I have to cut and paste, cut and paste, cut and paste, lose my skip markers, can't use my expansions AND I now get paid less for the reports. Any suggestions? ...
Anyone out there who works remotely for a hospital.. can you tell me how your QA is done. Wondering if most are like my employer. Our QA is done sporadically.. maybe twice a year. We get a stack of reports in the mail that may be 6 months to a year old. Our editors follow none of the standards our department has set up, and usually just whatever they feel is wrong, is wrong. Also, we can't go back and access the voice when we are looking at the errors to ...
I checked my work 1 hour ago. Just checked again and all 6 reports with 100% QA are gone. Three new reports, one with crappy grade (missed a heading), and 2 100% reports now show. How can you maintain QA with reports flipping in and out?????? This is Nuance. ...
Hate to waste the time but Im gonna do it today..I have several jobs that I put through QA for terms that I really should know but cant find and I never get them back from QA with fixes...Just wondering, we were victims once before and no matter how much OT I work the counts never seem to go up much... ...
Have you ever noticed that as soon as you are proficient in an account you are switched to a new one???? AND in certain reports are required to use a standard even though it is an SR report SO you are doing straight type in an SR report, being paid at SR rate. Something doesn't seem quite right or fair. ...
If a report is really bad, cant even find the patient- when it is uploaded and we have a note to QA, is that report sent to be charted and the doctors, or does QA fix it, whatever, and THEN is sent? Do we do anything different so it does NOT get sent to the client first?
Thanks you guys!! ...
I was speaking with a friend of mine and he just got the last bonus and then was told he was not supposed to get the bonus because the hospital he works on doesn't get bonuses so not to expect another one and then 2 weeks ago they put him on 100% QA 5 reports a day for 5 days and then extended it for another 5 days because they said he had 98% though on the bottom of his timecard is showing 99% and the feedback has been 99%. What are they trying to do now? He just got a call fro ...
I thought it was just me. I've posted before asking for any hints to get my VR reports to go faster, but spending so much time "editing" these reports it's going soooo slow and don't know how to go faster. Is this common with other MTs? Any helpful ideas are appreciated.
First line will be what the doc said - after the dash what the system put (and this is just one report):
55-year-old - nothing was typed
she points - she reports he points
transumbilical - tr ...
How do we look up reports that have been Q/A'ed for our audit? I thought I knew how, but I cant get anything with the numbers I have been given to come up. Thank you. ...
In the past 3 days I have transcribed reports from as far back as January 2013. Ridiculous is all I can say. 3 reports today were from June of 2013. No wonder the backlog is twice what it normally is and they have to offer that incentive. We shouldn't get yelled at for something totally out of our control. ...
