how to type out a date - me too


Posted: Aug 30, 2011

When typing out the date, i.e.  March  9, 1940, do you put a zero in front of the single digits - 03/09/1940 or 3/9/1940?

interesting - sm

i've seen it as 03/09/40 ...yes put the zeros because its usually in pairs

Depends on client preference - s/m

I have BOS2 and it states that any of the above are correct, just depends on facility preference.

In Fiesa, What Do We Put In Date Type ?---
Jan 06, 2015

Date of Review ? -- to get the Post Audit score that will count for that week's pay?   For example for this current week, we put in date range Jan 3 -9, correct?  And then for "Date Type" I assume it's date of transcription, but not so sure.  I can't figure this out....       ...

The text of this post explains why it is never, ever, ever safe to utilize the email function associated with this board.

Why Is It VR Can't Even Get The Date Right?
Apr 09, 2015

VR is such a bad joke, I've corrected such stupid mistakes it's not funny.  It can't even get the date right, always is 2013 instead of 2015.  Seems like that's a no brainer.  Guess not.  Just needed to vent.  ...


Write Out Date?
Mar 06, 2010

Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only?  I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way.  So, when a doctor states March 3, 2010..that is how I type it, if he states 03/03/2010, that is how I type it.  I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule.  Tha ...

Question About The Date
Jun 23, 2010

In transcription, when a doctor dictates 12/4 or December 4th what is the correct way to type this? I need this information when I'm taking a test to find a job because the doctor has not been giving the year and from what information I've read I should type out the date as December 4th??   Another question I have is on a test if the doctor transcribes out of order such as first he says medications, and then next he says social history, and then next he says chief complaint, do ...

Anything New/up-to-date On MedScribe, FL ?
Jan 28, 2011

Archives are divided -- half happy and treated well and doing the work they expected to do, paid on time, good benefits.    Other half got jerked around a bit, given different kinds of work than expected, said line counts are incorrect, missed a couple of paychecks (which is strange since they do direct deposit - maybe they didn't back then.)  Thanks. ...


Anyone Remember The Date?
Apr 18, 2012

When was it they "capped" our pay, giving most of us a pay cut?  I meant to write it down (don't know why, but I usually record these things), but I never did and can't find the cheery e-mail informing us of our "new" rates!  I have all my pay stubs, but they're basically indecipherable. Anyone remember what month that was?     ...


They Can't Even Get The Date Right In Remedy For NJA.
Mar 02, 2013

Time zone isn't the problem. Time displayed for a ticket matches my time zone. The date is tomorrow's date, and you can't enter today's date for the ticket because it won't accept a ticket date prior to the 'expected date' (tomorrow). Can't change the expected date field either. Guess I should have filed my NJA for today yesterday ;) as there aren't any jobs for me today. Cover my butt for the mismatched date of NJA versus the true date ...


Q.E.D. Wants My Birth Date
Jul 14, 2013

I started the application for Q.E.D. Transcription and saw that the initial section requires a birth date. It won't stop me from applying, but isn't that a form of discrimination? I wish the MTSOs would at least provide a secure site when they require personal information such as physical address and phone. ...

Why Can't Client Profiles Be Kept Up To Date!

CCM and QA act like it is so difficult to get done. They should have instant access to keep the CP up to date to the minute. I am not going to be responsible for keeping up with all the emails about things not in the CP. If it's not in the CP, and I'm not in the group, it's not my fault if I don't know the special emails that group got. ...

Pay Date Schedule And DD Questions - Sm
Aug 13, 2012

I've been with Transcend just a few weeks.  I know my questions were addressed during training but I guess I was on "info overload" and I can't find answers in my notes either.  Where can I find the pay schedule with pay period and direct deposit dates?  Also, where can I view my "paystub" for direct deposit?  There is nothing about this on the ADP TimeSaver site where you enter hours.  There is an "ADP Self Service" link on the MLS website.  But I evident ...
