account specifics require SOAP format for all dictators

When do you captilize these terms? We had to transfer patient for a "pulmonary" consult. There is no "pulmonologist" due to the "pulmonologist" being out of town. Always confuses me!!! ...

Any know of any companies that have a short list of account specifics? I am spending all my time looking at account specifics (over 20 pages). I would rather work as an employee, but IC will do. Thanks to all! ...

I really wonder why some of these places have so many account specs...really. What does it matter if they dictate a consultation and the headings are in all caps or have just the first letters capped, or are bolded or not, or have a colon or a dash. Or if the doctor says "past history" but the specs say you must type "past medical history". If all the accurate medical information is transcribed as the doctor dictates, what does it matter? The information is still there fo ...

Is it me or what - I was always told to follow account spec and make sure I didn't use the forbidden JCAHO abbreviations. Lately if I look at an old report to get a slurred/muffled word that I can't make heads or tails out of, I've noticed that others on my same account don't follow the specs at all! They do everything verbatim. It totally upsets me. I noticed it a while back and put it down to a new employee not yet knowing all the specs, but it wasn't as ba ...

Just curious how many pages the typical or average account specifics are if there is an average. Mine is 54 pages for 1 facility, IC position, scheduled shifts. I don't think that meets the definition of an IC per the IRS. Do you have an IC position or employee? Per IRS website........You are not an independent contractor if you perform services that can be controlled by an employer (what will be done and how it will be done). This applies even if you are given freedom of ...

What percentage of hospitals would you guess are really, really picky about account specifics; by that I mean, this doctor wants one thing, this doctor wants another, and there are like 200-300 doctors on staff, with pages and pages of instructions (maybe 20). You can read it 10 times and will still have to refer back to it for every report because of the different little quirks of each doctor. On average, what percentage of hospitals that you transcribe are like this? Thanks ...

Does anyone other than myself think that this business of medical transcription, which I have been involved in for over 30 years, has just become so complicated? There is one particular account my company has and the account specs for this account is 101 pages long. 101 PAGES LONG PEOPLE!!! Why on earth is medical transcription not regulated by Joint Commission as everything else is? I mean they require certain things to be included on reports and they require the reports ...

After reading all the posts below, I wish I would have asked more questions before I accepted a job at SS. I made the mistake of accepting a position because I had been unemployed for several months and was desperate. Now, after a few months of the constant harrassing emails, threats to be removed from an account if another acct spec error is committed, and also the threat of going back to 100% QA, I've just about had it. No amount of money is worth the costant barrage aimed at demeaning ...

I'm always over 200 until I get Mr. Mumblemouth who knows he is not forming actual words when he hums through the PE, as my counts plummet to as loiw as 75 LPH. Then I get a long report from an excellent fast-talking dictator and my LPH jumps to 340. Question: Why is it that the MTSO does not comprehend the fact that our production depends on the capability of the provider to dictate correctly? The horrid dictators are never told they are doing anything wrong as ...

Oh I will be so glad when they get all the hard dictator's samples up. Some of those ESL ones you can't make out a lot and when you don't have a sample to go by it is very difficult. They are working steadily on getting more and more up though so I can't complain, but I would have to get the ones who don't have samples up yet tonight. Nothing to do but leave blanks and send it to QA. ...

Today I will make less than half of what I normally get because all I've gotten today are crappy, hard to understand dictators, both ESL and English-speaking. Seems like all I get lately are the hard to understand, mush-mouth dictators. Guess Nuance doesn't want their MTs making quota. Sorry. I just had to vent. ...

Why, oh why can't all the dictators on one account use the same format????!!!!! Dozens of doctors on the same account and they all want different styles. Some want headings capped, some do not. Some want bold, some do not. Some want them underlined and some do not. Some want PHYSICAL EXAM, some PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, and then some EXAM. Followinig on down in a note, you can just imagine how many differences there are with each dictator. These guys ...

Have been pondering this a lot lately. Why would the hospitals and MTSOs not want to all have the same specifics so MTs could concentrate on providing an accurate report based on BOS that would then allow all healthcare providers to recognize a standard for their records? I am so tired of switching to a new account or my backup account and having to change gears to comply with different specifics. I have one account now that we are told to literally "might as well thr ...

I got a call today from HR at Sten-Tel (Springfield) saying that they were getting ready to make me an offer. (Would consider taking it on only in addition to what I'm already doing due to hearing issues about lack of work.) I was, however, told that having Internet Explorer 8.0 was a problem and that I would need to uninstall this version and downgrade to IE 7.0. I've never heard of this before and was wondering why the newer, more current version of IE would be a problem ...

He says "was made n.p.o. and put on D5 half normal saline plus 20 of KCl at 78." Is this typed correctly? ...

Does anyone know where I could look at a rad report format online? I have AAMT Book of Style, but it does not show a format for radiology. All of the books online you have to buy. All I need is to know a format for a radiology report. ...

Started in 1973 and my passion has remained steady over the years, a few years not so much. Seeing the change and didn't like it but it was something I couldn't walk away from. Set out to become as proficient as possible; do every worktype, every specialty. I wanted to be good at all of it..to be wanted, needed, and sought after. Also offered the security I needed when I was younger, single mom;l life not so secure. Being an MT was my haven, my source of being grounded.&nbs ...

When typing combination medications should you put the dosage abbreviation after each medicaotin..... Example: hydrocodone 5 mg/325 mg or hydrocodone 5/325 mg???? Also, what if it is a medication combination that uses both mg and mcg? Example: 75 mg/200 mcg. I received a correction back from my boss and she had it 75/200 mg and, considering that part of the medication is mcg, i think that her correction is actually incorrect. ...

do OP notes. I hate 'em and for 2 days that's about all I've gotten. So, I would love to find a company that does not require OP note transcription. TIA. ...

I cannot confirm this anywhere - thanks ...

us to download software that allows them full-time access to our personal computers, allows them to upload our info, track our history, etc.? If it has nothing to do with our daily MT work, then is it even legal to require us to install their spyware permanently on our own personal property?? I've never heard of a company doing this. ...

I posted about an hour ago under Gab Board. It is not there, and it was. Strange!!!! ...

A history and physical examination report. Doctor has already dictated information for EXTREMITIES subheading, but later dictates more info for same subheading. Should I combine second set of extremity info with first set of info? Thanks! ...

Need info please. Not finding much in archives. First impression from interview is good, but....that has happened before and got burned. ...

I am not sure how to format this medication and I think there might be a stumble also. Doctor says "... 2 tabs 125 mg 2 times p.o. t.i.d." Wonder whether I should edit out the either "2 tabs" or "2 times" as she does seem to correct herself. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated? Thanks ...

In a verbatim account: "patient is into" (doc lists medications)... Patient is into?? Very clearly said. "there are no labs available on the chart." (doc goes onto lists extensive lab results) Says also very clearly "this consultation was not necessary", however I am not sure if he is speaking to someone else, or if it is part of the dictation! I hear it clear as a bell, it just seems a snippy ending comment. I am going to type it out as I hear it, b ...

When you are using a SOAP Chart style, do you every use PHSYICAL EXAMINATION in the headings? I have a doctor that added it in today with his dictations. I have never used it before in a SOAP. Thanks ...

On SOAP note: S: History of Present Illness: Bob is a pleasant..... or S: History of present illness: Bob is a pleasant.... or S: HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Bob is a pleasant.... Thanks in advance! ...

Does anyone know anything about SOAP transcription, or QED? Thinking about applying. Thanks ...

Doctor dictates: Ambien 10 mg q 9 p.m. Just making sure how the 'q 9 pm' is transcribed. Is it like this: q.9 p.m. or q.9. p.m.?? Not sure....any help would be appreciated. I am new to the job and want to make sure i do this correctly.Thanks ...
