dollars. Can't improve what is already top-notch. If we are already producing the maximum we can, already mastered those horrific docs, what then? Real incentivizing. Oh well. ...
I find medical terminology quite fascinating and enjoy learning about the body and such. I found a t.v. series where they do autopsies on real humans while discussing the functions of the body, various ailments, numerous terms, revelations of their findings, and a whole lot more. They were very respectful and adult about all of it, and I learned a lot. Even if I did know about something, they helped explain it in a way that helped me understand it better.
I am very squimish about this stuff in ...
It seems lately I have had a lot of corrections where they are removing what I have typed and marking as [UNCLEAR]. I am not getting dinged, but the reason this is bothering me so much is because they are doctors I am familiar with and know what they say. It's not like a skip is happening and I'm adding in something. There are dictating, not always the best dictations, but because I'm familiar with them I know what it is.
Makes me feel like I don't know what I� ...
In reading another post trying to help someone, what if we started a post with our best tricks for being faster? What shortcuts do you use? What do you feel like saves you the most time?
I think this would be great for newbies and seasoned MTs. ...
Is anyone else even just a little angered with the email from the CCM about the weekly statistics?
The part that really steams my broccoli is "This is no different than if you were to get a quarterly review or yearly review with your pros and cons listed and where improvements need to be made."
Well.... when the CCM and QA lead get quarterly reviews, dont they get RAISES? That is how the rest of the world works! RAISES. My teen son works at Taco Bell and he just got his 6 month review on hi ...
From your on-the-job experience as coders, how much typing is involved? Do you have to be super fast, or is something like 40-50 enough to do the work? ...

Has anyone any suggestions for a super good keyboard with a light touch response? I hate the keyboard that came with my work equipment, bought another, but the keys clatter when I type and it's distracting. Before I get a new one, I'd like to get some suggestions.
Thanks in advance my co-workers! ...
I recently downloaded the free version of Express Scribe. The "Welcome" message plays with no problem, but any file that I try to load plays super-fast. I am pretty sure I checked all the settings, such as F10 (normal play back speed) and the speed control in the bottom right hand corner. If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it. I did send an email to tech support but will probably never get an answer b/c I didn't purchase it. ...
I swear she is on a cell phone in a low service area on speaker mode. Aren't they supposed to dial in on a hospital phone? At one time a few years back, I thought it was against HIPAA to use cell phones for dictation. Drives a person nutty. ...
Patient has sickle cell disease with frequent vaso-occlusive pain crises... s/l "impressive aloe (spelled by dictator) immunization" in patient with moderate immune hemolytic anemia. I cannot find a reference for this aloe immunization. Does anybody have a clue if this is correct? ...
This dictator sounds about 70+ and is still using a device that keeps fading out, some kind of cell phone. Don't they know how bad that is? Don't they see how many words are missing in their returned reports? I really think a lot of doctors are ignorant about technology, especially the older ones. ...
Colorectal surgeon, and I might actually be hearing him correctly, but it sounds like he's saying "He does not have J-eye-uh-fell's' adenoma of the rectum".... ...
Been doing rad for 14 years and don't recall having this one.
He pronounced it "halar" (in the sinuses) but my online search yielded about 50/50 halar to Haller. Even the journals and medical literature are about evenly split on this! (Tried to link to search results, but apparently this site doesn't allow links to https sites like Scroogle.)
Would appreciate input on this one. Thanks. ...
