abbreviations in AAMT BOS

Where is our 'union' and seeing that all these injustices that are going on are addressed? This profession has been sold to the devil himself. Talk about Kathy Lee's sweat shops? I read for no pay. I type and look up, cross reference, research and no pay. No breaks, no lunch, just production. I have to calculate and make out time sheets and do my own time for no money and then when we type, the programs are calculating in a way that we have no i ...

After failing a test for a PT gig, I pulled out the old BOS 2 (don't have 3) and I am surprised at some of the things it is "requiring". Like, for instance, never hypenate words that will separate them at the end of a sentence. Now, I don't know about you, but what I type in, and what the final report looks like are completely different, so, how am I to know it will actually fall at the end of a line. Another thing, all these dang rules, when most accounts are verbati ...

Do we still have MQ online access to AAMT? Apparently I lost my short-cut when I changed computers. Thanks. ...

dictated: levothyroxine 1200 micrograms daily transcribed: levothyroxine 1200 mcg daily is this correct? pls help. ...

What is even the PURPOSE of the AAMT/AHDI or whatever they call themselves now? They are in no way representative of me or any other MT that I know and in fact have been a key factor in the demise of medical transcription in my opinion. A bunch of no life having harridans trying and unfortunately succeeding in making themselves relevant. In other news, several fellow MTs have written to their state reps regarding offshoring and were told that inquiries into the matter reve ...

Do different medical transcription companies prefer 2nd or 3rd Book of Style? Seems as if I could buy a used 2nd edition from a website such as Amazaon cheaper than the 3rd edition, but I don't want to buy an edition that is not used by medical transcription companies. Your comments, please? TIA- Jane ...

I read a lot of negative stuff on this board about AAMT/AHDI - how they're screwing MTs here at home. Can someone explain? When I was taking the Career Step course all I ever heard were glowing comments about the RMT/CMT exams, Benchmark, etc. - so I'm a little surprised to read the negative comments here. I know that this industry is going down the tubes for lots of reasons, corporate greed probably being #1, and if AAMT/AHDI is a party to this, I'd like t ...

If it is true that our MT corporations are profiting with VR the same as if we were transcribing, well to me that's picking my pocket......So then why isn't AAMT (or whatever) going to bat for us 'editors' and set standards so that companies will pay us our fair share? Just a thought. Wouldn't it be nice if we were told by our companies that from here on in, VR will pay as much as transcribing? pipe dreams huh? ...

On pg 97 of 2nd ed. AAMT it shows non-disease-entity but on pg 330 it shows non was a prefix that doesn't require a hyphen. So, shouldn't it be nondisease-entity ? I find this so confusing. ...

Whereas, the medical transcriptionist contributes significantly to the delivery and quality of patient care, while also helping to assure appropriate reimbursement, promote research integrity, and fulfill providers’ legal obligations through documentation of health services. Be it therefore declared that each medical transcriptionist has the following rights: The right to an appropriate job classification and pay level appropriate to one’s abilities, limitations, and responsibili ...

If anything..they are simply a Sales Convention for MTSOs and only have their interest at heart. There are never topics that relate to working as an MT or being properly represented. Instead we get the never ending changing BOS, or the CMT certification which AGAIN has changed...and btw..took a look a "sample" test and it has NOTHING to do with being an MT! It was more for a clinician. We are language specialists..not clinicians. I have been an MT for over 20 ...

Thereafter he was seen at the student health center where evaluation was undertaken. ...

Could someone please tell me why MTs are members of AHDI? Everytime I hear about a new "rule" from the BOS, it does nothing more than lower my line count once again. I really think that this organization is for the employers, rather than the MTs. The hospitals, etc, want you to follow BOS for all things that cut line counts, but then do it their way for other things. Drives me nuts the amount of times I have heard, this account follows BOS, except for............. & ...

I am currently looking for a new online job. I have been doing medical transcription for nine years now but work for a small hospital. I do not currently have, nor does my hospital require, the AAMT book of style to be the set rules for our transcription department. We still use q.h.s. etc. I recently had a job interview but blew it because the company requires their MTs to know the latest AAMT book of style front and back. Is this a big deal to know this book word for word? Wonderin ...

According to AAMT Book of style, are medications numbered and listed?? ...

I know that we are to expand abbreviations within diagnoses sections. However, what about things like this: Pulmonary embolism. The patient was started on IV heparin. Do we expand the "IV" also? Thanks. ...

When did this become okay? I got called on my last QA that spelling out CVA or MI in the diagnosis is a no-no. ...

Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get a list of the "dangerous abbreviations" in transcription. I was at a doctor's office one day and saw a sign on their wall that said something about dangerous abbreviations and something about things that transcriptionists should not type...but I left thinking that it would be something easy to find but have found no information on that at all. Thanks so much for your help! ...

I don't use dangerous abbreviations and I never abbreviate in the diagnosis and QA has been changing my reports to abbreviations in the diagnosis and changing words and adding the dangerous abbreviations. Does any else do this, not abbreviate etc? ...
