Having the assault taken off his record was a condition of his probation. SM

In Reply to: How did he get his record cleared? - mollie
So, I'm not sure if at the end of his probation if he had to contact anyone or follow it up in anyway. We know it's not on there anymore because he's going to nursing school now and had to get his CNA license as a prerequisite for the prgram and they did a background check for that.
I'll ask him. He's not here now. While I'm working, he and my son are at the boat show figuring out how to spend my paycheck!

Put them on probation and tell them to clean up their act or they
are gone. Too many MTs are looking for work right now to put up with people who don't/won't do their job.
We are put on probation and audited
again in a week, and if still not passed, put on 100% QA for a time. If you can't get it back up to what it needs to be then you are let go.
Rape is assault
Legally, morally, and physically.
rape is an assault
for sure but must specify sexual assault or could mean physically assaulted. I just think for medical information, must know how the patient was injured.
Assault on the English Language
I transcribe for a doctor who I think may be Russian, but anyway, he has lived in this country (USA) for many years and has not taken the time to learn to speak succinctly. As a matter of fact, he seems to be dyslexic on top of the heavy accent and often phrases words backwards, does not know how to speak concisely, and I am thinking whoever has the misfortune of reading his HNP's is going to think he is a real Dip (even after editing). Even our editors have a real challenge getting through his work. I wish I could shake the snot out of him and require that every ESL physician practicing in America be required to speak the English language fluently.
Assault is not necessarily rape
nm
I'm sorry, but I believe that is the worst condition possible :(
Worse than critical.
So sorry.
"Assault" is not the same as "rape" when you get into definitions. An assault can be mi
a rape is definitely not.
I have a chronic pain condition as well
It is giving me a break right now so I won't talk too much about it so I don't wake it up.:) This is my first relief in 10 years from severe RA which seems to have been in every joint at one time or another. So, totally understand your emotions on needing to feel like a useful member of society and take care of your responsibilities. Before RA, I worked for 17 years. I did try the disability route and was denied 5 years ago 5 times! Never tried again. I didn't want to then but to help the husband with the bills, I thought it was best and it would have been good for the marriage as well.
The hips keep me from sitting long periods, but you have MT companies who will work with you. One I work for now wants at least 800/lines per day but prefers 1000+. However, mentioned it was okay to break frequently as long as when the MT is on that the MT is very productive. So you might have a longer work day than the other MTs. However, there is hope. I would say even with your nursing background and good grasp of medical terminology and anatomy/physiology, you should still find a program in transcription or a good mentor or both. My heart goes out to you. I thought of nursing and my condition is the only reason I didn't go for it, but it is in demand, that and technology jobs are in demand also. I try to stick with the jobs that are in high demand.
I am going to try to leave a web site for you to take a look around that will give you an idea of what companies expect an MT to know:
http://www.hpisum.com/home.ihtml
You will have to cut and paste the address in the address box, but there is a lot of information there. Other posters may have more information for you. Best wishes.
The big thing with them seems to be that it MUST BE in the EXACT same CONDITION as
purchase. I was on the end of returning and did get a timely refund.
This is not considered a disabling condition...sm
There are wrist supports that you can wear that will prevent this. I use one called a "thumb-wrist support." The web site to get it is:
http://www.sportstek.net/thumb_and_wrist.htm
Since I work more the usual 2 jobs, I wear this starting about 2 hours in and don't experience any pain whatsoever. I use mostly the one on my right hand but if I work more or through my usual days off, I use the left one as well.
You'll find out that temporary Work Comp is available for this condition, but never a condition that would afford you disability.
My cocker spaniel has a skin condition.
Her claws are brittle and long, her paw pads are thickened, she's itchy and smelly, and she has dead skin cells built up in the same areas you described. We did the antibiotics, steroids, allergy meds, and everything else without good results. I put a stop to it when the vet wanted to do $1,000 worth of tests and biopsies. (And switched vets!) The first vet called it allergies, seborrhea, keratinitis, and a bunch of other guesses. She also has mattery eyes and frequent ear infections. We rescued her from the pound 10 years ago, so she's an old girl. I have to keep her shaved and wash her with either a prescription shampoo or Neutrogena T-gel.
Condition of the Industry Opinions Needed!!
A question for the old timers! Only because the newer MTs might not honestly know. I have been in QA for a few years, and I hate it. I love transcribing - its my gift and where my heart is. That said, I so want to return to MTing, but am very afraid. When I QA, I get nothing but absolutely garbage ESLs. Horrible. Should be deported-type of dictations. I used to be great at ESLs when an MT, but only got occasional dictator who could bring me to tears. So, I am thinking that perhaps I just get constant garbage thru QA because that's what QA is - the garbage depository for ESLs!! But when I read these boards, MTs are complaining all the time about how horrible the dictators are these days, and how they can't keep up their line counts, etc. Has it changed that much these last few years since I've been QAing? Are most MTs simply getting the junk dictators? If so, I'd just rather stay put in QA and pass the time til I retire. Or, do you think this is just a result of my being in QA and just seeing the pits of dictators?? I know its not an absolute answer, but I would love opinions. I make a decent living getting paid hourly at QA, and am so uncertain of the waters out there right now. Thanks! 
Health insurance preexisting condition
That is correct. However, if you decide to get your own policy that is if you were an IC, be careful, and ask questions. When I became an IC, we got a policy from United Healthcare Golden Rule, and after we started paying, got the policy and did not cover any preexisting conditions. So, it ended up being a major medical policy. However, when working for an employer, and getting that insurance, preexisting would be covered and probably proof of continuous coverage or a wait period may be requested. Definitely check with HR.
I agree--pertaining to legal purposes, rape and assault are two different things. Would have been b

For the record,
the solo-practices and smaller offices are outsourcing to the hospitals...
can anyone set the record for
My record is around 45. Right now i'm on a report that is up to about 23. Talk about toxic!
re-record
If re-recording to digital, pretty easy. Play either in handheld or transcriber, and use either computer or digital handheld to capture. Just need the connecting cord between two units - can get at Radio Shack.
if it was in my medical record?
It would depend upon whether or not it could have a negative impact upon my medical care. If the doctor dictated something like, "The patient has diabetes" (when I don't), yeah, I would ask them to correct the record. But for something like what was stated originally ... heck no. Let it stay.
But that's me ... I don't have OCD and I'm not anal retentive about this business like others. Never have been and never will be.
I still think you need to lighten up. There's a lot more to worry about in life than something like that.
expunging record
Just a thought -- a friend had a felony from years ago expunged from her record -- but background checks from then on noted the expungement on her record -- which raised red flags in itself.
another broken record...
me too. It absolutely befuddles me that anyone would be trying to get INTO this field, especially with all the ominous signs that are right out there for anyone to see. I think new moms with babes are just blinded by the idea of "working at home" and can't see the competition they are facing. Me, I am in nursing school... not an easy job by any means...but I'll be good at it and will find my niche quickly and will always have a job! My biggest account is making noise about getting a VR system. If I wasn't in nursing school, I would be having a panic attack instead!
How did he get his record cleared?
You mentioned that he has a "clean record." I still have this thing on from 11 years ago. Did he have to do something in particular to clean his record or did it just drop off?
We all make dumb mistakes at some time in our lives, eh? LOL
Med Record Retention
That's a very broad question. It's my understanding that the answer depends on the State and the age of the patient at the time of service. Liability required juvenile records be kept forever since it used to be a base could be brought when the injury was first noticed, and that could be well into the adult years.
You have to record to the computer
Get a program like GoldWave (I think goldwave.com). You can buy a plug that goes one end in the transcriber and the other in the computer. One end goes in the transcriber earpiece plug and the other goes in the computer microphone plug.
Then play the transcriber while using Goldwave (or whatever) to record from the microphone input. It creates a WAV file or whatever you specify.
LOL. Did you tell your doctor so he could record it? - NM

That particular patient's record
is still confidential information, thus protected. Who knows, there may be contributing factors about that other patient and that is why the name was mentioned. Either way, if it was dictated to be transcribed and fits with the account specs, it is to be transcribed. I've worked for companies that did and did not allow patient and other names in their records, sometimes it just depends on what the client wants.

These 2 companies were just awarded all of VISN 7. Not sure exactly where the split is. Look on VA website for hospitals make up VISN 7.
Why don't you set the record straight Ms. AAMT?
Why are you sooooooo defensive?
Setting the record straight
You purchased an IN-155 foot pedal for compatiblility with DVI VoiceWav. (We have sold nearly 1,000 of these with zero returns.)
When you called our toll free 800 number for support we told you that the problem was not the pedal and was either the software you were using or your computer. Reluctantly, we agreed to do an exchange for you. (FYI, when your first pedal came back to us it worked absolutely perfectly and still does. In fact it is plugged into the same computer I am typing on at this moment. It has been tested daily since it came back with no problems).
Now, you voice incorrect information on MTStars. Your problem is in your computer.
Please feel free to call us yet again if this is not clear to you.

It is about CLARITY in the medical record.
It makes the medical record easier to read, which means more accurate patient care
Try expunging the felony record. sm
My friend's daughter did this after being turned down for a job at Target. She was an adult. You will need some legal assistance to do it.
electronic medical record nm
/
A.S. in Medical Record Technology
This included a course in Medical Transcription. Went to work in a physician's office. My job title was medical records, but the main component of the job was transcription. This led to later full-time transcription job.
It's probably an electronic health record.
They probably got an electronic health record where it is basically a point and click system that creates a progress note, does the coding, etc. I think this is going to hurt transcription greatly.
In Microsoft Word, there should be a record
of changes made and who accessed the report and made it. SOmeone with more technical expertise should be able to tell you what you do.
IT users?? Need ideas on how to record (sm)
the rad report MR#s, DVI#s, Accession #s in IT so to save me time. This is radiology and at times, recording the exam numbers takes longer than typing the report, so hopefully, you understand.
My idea is to open a daily list on the blank page of the IT screen and then save it at the end of the day. Does this sound plausible to you?
Thanks for your feedback!
Rad MT
After 5 years, you can have your record expunged. sm
If you apply for some high-level security position, such as law enforcement, FBI, etc., it will still show up, but otherwise, you can trully answer "no" if asked if you have any convictions, etc. You do have to go through an attorney, and I do not know how much it costs.
Hope this helps.
Let me tell you about falsifying a medical record
I know first hand it has been done and it was done about me. I had plastic surgery (3 part type) with face lift, tummy tuck and lipo in 2002. The doctor "forgot" to do the face lift. Had paid up front and I asked for the portion of the face lift only returned. He gave me an IOU on his office station but then later would not pay me and get this --- 8 months after the surgery he dictated my report, put in the face lift like he had done it along with the other. Now most people would say well, maybe he got you and someone else confused. Not so- this same physician who was head over the plastic at the hospital called me personally at my home, not through his office, but him personally twice in a threatening like voice when I tried to take thru mediation. I worked inhouse at the time and rather than risk my job, I left it up to Karma. This actually happened to me. I went to the lady over medical records, I worked in the same department, and told her exactly what had happened and she said I could write a note to put in the front of the chart disputing it had been done. Unbelievable, huh?
Re-record and C-phone question...sm
Hi all!
If I have an account that requires a C-phone, would I have to re-record it?
Isn't re-recording very time consuming?
It's been a while since I worked with a C-phone, but I don't remember having to re-record, and I just remember hearing folks on these boards talk about how time consuming this can be and how the sound quality can be different.
TIA for any expertise!
I use / and record a macro which I assign
to an F key. Then I put / wherever in the template I need to input.
So moving around is as simple as pushing the F2 key as many times as needed...
I also use the macro record and assign to an F key functions like block and copy. Then if you have to move a whole section of words to another page, it's one key to block and copy and one click of the mouse to paste and you're done.
Unless you are the primary record-keeper sm
You should dispose of all of them. My rule of thumb for files that I keep on my computer is two weeks. I send them in daily to the clinic, but I do keep mine for two weeks as backup in case for some reason theirs get lost.
You need to dispose of them so that the information can no longer be extracted. I remember a long time ago we had a magnet we would run tapes and/or disks through which would wipe the data. I don't know if those still exist, or how well they actually work.
You might get in touch with the MTSO or clinic or whoever the information originally belonged to and find out how they dispose of their sensitive material.
You need two macros. Just record the steps
to change to higher level, and the second one to change it back. Be sure to assign shortcut keys to each.
Protective of the US medical record???
She employed offshore MTs...how protective could she have been? Are you kidding me?
Telephone Record Adaptor
You might want to look into getting a telephone record adaptor that plugs into your laptop sound card. Also would require audio capture software but then the files would be recorded onto your computer and from there you could transcribe them.
How to re-record off phone line?
Does anyone know how to re-record transcription off a phone line? TIA
The actual medical record contains
those things you mention. The dictated report sometimes does, not that is not often. Some facilities, however, do have the physician dictate everything imaginable and even if it is 1 out of every 10, that is still too much info to let out.
He did not start the electronic record, really
Why beat a dead horse? I have been on electronic records for years now, before him. I think you are a hater and any and everything you can find to say about him you will. This is NOT NEW with electronic records. Find something else to gripe about, ok?
If the law requires that a patient's record be
protected by HIPAA, and HIPAA laws have no effect overseas, wouldn't it logically be a violation to send the record overseas?
I think that is very unprofessional for a medical record. nm

How can I record patient data as fast as possible
Radiology patients, so reports are short most often. We have to log two several digit numbers, the types of exams (chest/abdomen) dates. We have sheets to do this on but am thinking I should keep Wordpad open and type in there.
Any ideas on how I can do this and not lose momentum or time? I do about 100 exams a day.
Thanks!
I still record but not onto tapes.. onto a digital recorder. sm
I use a skutch box hook up to the phone and recorder. Make sure you're muting out room noise, a speakerphone and mute button do the trick quite nicely.
