hyphen ... providing high quality care OR high-quality care

Am I the only one that feels this way??? Tell me, please, how do they expect us to make a living when they are paying squat to keep their cost of service down?? T ...

The whole purpose of this new compensation plan is to focus on quality patient care, supposedly. After 20+ years in this field, including multiple years within an office and seeing how these notes are used, I think I know a thing or two about patient care and how important the quality of the medical record is. Here are some things I know: Doing accounts consistently help you learn what doctors say from note to note. Likewise, it also means you're more likely to hear a mistake w ...

TSM says since I got under 99% this week to take this seminar. What is funny is that a last week I got an email (bc I got 100% that week) saying how well I was doing and keep up the good work. LOL. Oops!. I bet she wishes she didn't send that email! Anyway, anyone do that Care Boost for Quality seminar and found that it helped at all? Not sure it's going to....I am positive I will continue being all over the place in my post audits....100 ...

I've worked for Softscript for almost 6 years and annually I have the same problem w/ management on a power-trip! Currently, the issue is that they have taken accounts away that I've worked on for 5 years, and want to replace them w/ accounts I have no experience in (work type), heavy ESL, lightning fast dictators. I informed them that I was not comfortable w/ this, and they give me a corrective action for insubordination! DO NOT APPLY TO WORK FOR SOFTSCRIPT! Th ...

(this is said sarcastically, as I only have 15 years' experience and who I am referring to ahead has quite a bit more and was in the same seminar).....There was a lady (name starts with R) in the seminar who, rightly so, didn't believe she deserved to be there and was obviously a bit upset. She went on to tell the host that she has 60 years' experience in MT (I guess that makes her at least 80?) and a bachelor's degree in English. She was upset that her ...

dictated: the wound care required every other week visits. Would it be as typed above? Or stick some hyphens in there for every-other-week visits. This is a narrative report and I have to do it verbatim, cannot reword it. Thanks for any input. ...

...bills. Most Saint hospitals and others actually operate as non-profits, and for what they are screwing us over in taxes unpaid, they can afford to help out folks with their bills and still give their CEOs generous stock options and obscene salaries! But, you have to ask for this after your visit, treatment, x-ray, or ER visit. ASK for help if you need it. It is not our fault that suits are in charge of medical care in this country. ...

I ran an error report for all reports, all accounts on my platform for this quarter, 10/1 - 10/18. So far the Quality Index is 84% vs Quality Score 99.18%. Didn't they advertise this new error scoring as working out in our favor? Doesn't look like it to me. This is based on 2194 jobs and 105,358 lines audited on E5. I checked the box that says view all corrections on the correction report. ...

I know some of you have taken a bashing, but I'm a believer and admire your skill. I am curious about your definition of a line and how long you've had the same account(s). I think most posters assume lines are defined at 65 characters including spaces, but that's not always the case (especially for those who work directly for hospitals or clinics, which many times are 60-character lines or less and include headers, footers, demos, etc.) Can you give us an ide ...

I'm having a TIA, I think. This sentence is "....68-year-old woman with a high-grade leiomyosarcoma..." Should there be a hyphen in "high grade" or not? I've totally thought about this too much and I can't remember when you do and don't use the hyphen. Please help!! Thanks! ...

This dictator is in the south, so maybe this is just something regional that I cannot find but he dictates this "He had approximatley an 8 year or so high moon with no headache" I swear that is exactly what I hear, high moon. Is this a phrase meaning break or interval? ...

So does anyone know if TTS has a high turnover and if so, why? ...

I was wondering does anybody have a clue why in the world the volumes are so high. My gosh, I can't give anymore OT than I'm already giving! Believe me I'm happy for the OT, but was wondering if there are rumors if they let some go or are no longer hiring if people are let go or quit. Getting worn out! ...

Usually my respiratory rate values are in the teens. This time it's 97 and wonder if I should question. Patient is 92 years old and has weakness and dimentia. I've searched for rr values and it shows normals 12-20. ...

DX: High HGB. Have him do (s/l duets sulphoresis) and try to donate 2 units at that time. ...

I need opinions please. Do I expect too much? When I ask my lead a question I do not usally get an answer. When she does choose to respond it is very often rude and/or condescening. Not one time have I ever gotten a sample despite numerous requests. Am I unreasonalbe? ...

I wondered if any of you who are good at M*Modal can give me some good pointers on getting faster with this program. I have been working on it for about 6 months and don't feel I am gaining any speed on it at all. The whole thing for me is having to reattach the cursor to the highlighter that is giving me the most trouble. It is just awkward and such a stretch to hit that F12 key to reattach each time I have to make a correction. I would be forever grateful!! :) &nb ...

Thanks all for your thoughts on the "salary/wage expectations" thread below. I am still hoping to see more opinions on the subject, but there were some references to production and even "high producers," hence my query concerning what you all think constitues a "high producer" versus average. I am inclined to consider 200 lines per hour as a good producer but not high. What are your thoughts - understanding, of course, that all accounts differ in difficulty. However, wean ...

We are having a discussion on "high-powered field" versus "high-power field." i was taught that it is "high-powered field." Any thoughts? ...

My heart sinks when I get a high-pitched, wispy-voiced NP dictator. In general, though I like female practitioners, I dislike female dictators. I'll take a male voice with an accent over an NP with a little girl voice you can barely hear. ...

Patient has HIV and is status post acute kidney injury: He has had no evidence for cryoglobulinemia or hypocomplementemia. It will be interesting to see what his protein has done with improvement in his HIV parameters. As per previous notes, I have not biopsied him. Therefore, I do not know whether he has a high s/l VAN, high s/l VIC, or whether this is diabetic related kidney disease. However, it would not change his management at this time. ...

Just gave my 2 weeks without giving a justification. Upon reciept, I was asked why. I decided I'd give my why on the high road, but man was it tempting to just let it all fly in a manner be fitting a swarm of angry bees. Here's my response. In the years I've been with the company, the corporate culture has changed dramatically. I feel as though M*Modal is no longer a good match for where I am currently nor where I'm going in the future. I value ...

I pulled up some old posts on here for line count averages, etc. I am seeing the high producers really utilize their word expander programs (work smarter, not harder). Do any of you have any websites that can help with tips for utilizing it? Do any of you use medications in the expander (I do not)?? Tips for using it/remembering what you enter (that's my problem)? Do any of you use it on VR and actually produce more b/c of it? I usually straight type and find on VR I do not really use my ex ...

The patient takes s/l verapino for high blood pressure. Tia. ...

I have requested more work and have been turned down. I have asked for another account and the same thing, turned down. I have been switched over to cover many accounts and when asked was told that the high producers are working on other accounts and I need to switch to cover. Every time I ask about anything at my company, the answer is that is only for the high producers. I produce my required quota of 16,000 lines per pay with 98 or more percent accuracy. I cannot ...
