another capitalization--I am reading the AAMT, but I am thinking because this is the heading(?) I wo

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 ...

This doctor describes the preop/postop diagnoses, type of anesthesia, and gives the surgeon's name (all of which I made separate headings for as it seemed he was dictating them). After the surgeon's name, he goes into a short description of the patient and a few physical exam findings as they pertain to the procedure. He does not dictate a heading or anything, although after his description of the patient, he dictates a new paragraph and a PROCEDURE heading. Should I put a ...

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 ...

Dr. says Problem hashtag.....brain fart....do I number the problems? thanks. ...

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

HELP PLEASE! In typing abbreviations on my account specs, it says following AAMT BOS, but the problem I am having is letters. They are using abbreviations that I should be expanded as it is a letter, (ex. MCP). I have read to expand these, but for the life of me I cannot find it in AAMT BOS... Any help appreciated. Thanks ...

See y'all in 6 minutes.... :) ...

AHDI has stated "that obvious headings that are not dictated may be inserted but this is not required." Does anyone know if this applicable in verbatim accounts? Has AHDI issued any new or different rules in regards to verbatim account? ...

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 have a couple of doctors who dictate without giving headings--I'm supposed to add these. What heading would I put "perineal exam" under in this report? He dictates it after the abdominal exam, but would that be the appropriate section to put this under? I thought of pelvic, but it really isn't a pelvic (female patient). ...

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? ...

A friend suggested transcribing for the deaf, requires passing a 180-200 wpm test from conversation. Anyone done/doing this? It is a great consolation to get all of your support. MT Stars is wonderful to give us this opportunity. MQ never was able to maintain a professional forum. ...

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. ...

We have just updated to Docqscribe 6.1 at our facility. Does anyone know if you can use the heading list function just for straight typing as we do not ASR. ...

I hear the doctor say Nature and Duration...Patient was admitted to ___ [PLACE]..... Is that right??? need serious help!! ...

I thought that DQS 6 was bad, but this 7.1 certainly topped that one. It seems to just randomly makes words headings whenever it feels like it. Just now, on a dictation clear as day, in the middle of a sentence, it decided that the word "the" was to be a heading. Why? ...

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 you find missing text at the end of a sentence and a heading following, restore the heading ctl+shift+H and it usually is hidden under there..dont know why but you know they arent gonna fix it, so may as well try especially on those hard to figure out words. ...

In transcribing a letter should Doctor's be capitalized: Dear Doctor's or doctors? ...

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 ...

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............. & ...

Sent a new computer and I can't find AAMT Book of Style in MQCentral. Does anyone happen to know where it is in the maze??? ...

Gait testing is part of the neurological examination and should therefore go under that heading. From my perspective, healthcare document integrity should hold sway over account specs or doctor preferences. Too many doctors think all that matters is what they say or how they interpret what is said, which is total bunk. If that were true, we would all just start typing melanotic stools every time one of these medical geniuses dictates that because certainly there isn't a do ...
