I bet she doesn't have to deal with demographics, though, right?

Not a big deal, but if client doesn't want to pay for xtra
s
The big flippin' deal is that the story doesn't mesh.
disclosing it immediately. Also, notice how he will only interview on Faux News...where he knows he will be handled with kid gloves? It's the secrecy, stupid.
It is an okay deal - TR 11 font is small. Not as good a deal as Courier.
Personally, I would have to think really hard and compare reports and line counts, like the other poster below suggested, before I would jump right into it. It is probably 75-80 characters to a line +/- the single character lines you get for initials, and 2 word lines you get with op reports such as Surgeon:
IV Fluids:
Anesthesia:
etc.
It probably is comparable to 9 cpl with a larger font.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
Good Luck!
Demographics in DQS
Do any of you have problems with bringing up info for the ADT screen? I was told that I could play detective and bring up lists of patients to find the right one but usually I just get the message that there is no one by that name in the records. It's hard to believe there is no one with the last name of Wendell or Harvey or Weinstein, for example. If the med rec number is wrong and you bring up the wrong name, that is the name you will continue to get no matter what names you try. I'm just curious about this. It isn't a huge problem since I just pass the buck.
demographics- if you want to try a
different name, clear the whole demographic field (clear at bottom) and you can try whatever name you want, or just highlight the number and delete it

Demographics
.
Yes, and patient demographics.
I'm not going to compare myself to others, though. I've made a lot of progress, and that's all that counts. I've only been on this account for three months. Who's to say what I'll be able to do next year?
It's easy if all the demographics are
there. Some docs don't like it. One doc says, "this is not a very user-friendly system." You could hear the frustration in his voice. Another doc pulled out as a client...never to be heard of again. It's got its own Expander but not very reliable.
Usually the patient demographics is shaded
on the MT end because it is only used as a guide to make sure you have the correct patient demographics. But it should show up on the MTSO or client end in full. It seems a little strange that your MTSO doesn't know anything about it. Hopefully this isn't an employee of a national who is asking you to help out on his/her accounts and using his/her name or MT number.
ExText - can it be set to not spellcheck demographics?
Every time I complete a report, spellchecker spellchecks the demographics section, which is not necessary. If you hit the wrong button, sometimes it will mess up the demographics on the report, although it doesn't tell you that you did anything wrong. Does anybody know if spellcheck can be set to only check the document and not the footer information?
Demographics/extra work
How many of you are being asked to do more demographic work and other extras in your job that do not apply to your line count? An email went out telling us that these areas "had to be filled in" because it caused too much work for the hospital if we didn't do it - but these demographics do not add to our line count - so I have a hard time understanding why we are to take 2-5 minutes in each report to do work that we are not paid for - for one report it doesn't seem like that much - but add it up to all that you do in a week - and well, that's a big pay decrease from where I stand. How many of you are dealing with this problem. It is probably not a new one - just new to me.
Good for her! In-house we used to get all the demographics--
Now I put in name, date dictated, time dictated, dictator ID#, billing #, copies (for which I- that is I, me, have to maintain the list and the #s), date transcribed, time transcribed, and work type and op or procedure date or service date (all three different fields--pick one depending on work type, which I have to maintain a list) -- God forbid they hire and pay a programmer, when the MT can do it as part of her duties and not get paid. We are being treated like dirt! I remember even 15 years ago, we would have had a cow if we had to imput this info ourselves! 15 YEARS AGO!!!!! My MTSO has PROMISED this for 2 years!! 2 YEARS! Keeps saying "if the hospital would pay for it." There is plenty of stuff that could be programmed on his end. I cry when I see an ad about what technology can do--the word processor (us) is being left totally behind. I feel like I'm on a Selectric with one of the letters missing, this makes me so slow. MTSOs--help out the poor woman! Most of the time. We need programming, too.
Emdat is only good if...A. Demographics load and B.
if you have a limited number of doctors who use a lot of repeats. I am lucky to make 100 lines an hours with the account I am on.
I guess, as long as nobody takes a look at the demographics, it's o.k...nm

demographics are not the only info that is HIPAA protected
Any info that could compromise a patient's privacy is protected. that includes any diagnostic information, tests, diagnoses, etc., and basically anything in that record.
anyone watch deal or no deal?
I love Deal or No Deal.......nm
Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi
xx
I am about where you are I think. There is just always something new to deal with and it just gets
worse and worse. Every new thing they implement just seems to make my job more difficult and ends up costing me money. I am thinking of just going very part time and then looking for something else. I have a feeling a lot of people are doing this.
I don't know what the big deal is.
When I've had "regular" in office type jobs, I've been subject to a criminal check. All it seems to be, however, is a standard form they send to the local sheriff's office. I had a mickey mouse job in bank operations last year, no access to anything confidential or cash, and I had to be photographed, fingerprinted, drug tested, credit and background checked.
Now that I am an MT, I am amazed at how easy it is to get hired and gain access very quickly to facilities, doctors, patients and their information. All I had to do was pass a transcription test and supply a SS#. Yeah, I'm sure the big national I'm with probably ran some type of credit check; but it was still a heck of a lot easier than getting that job in bank or any other job I've had for that matter.
Why it isn't a big deal
MQ MTs (of which I am an ex) have an option.....find a decent company who can provide a consistent work flow or just deal with MQ and quit whining! Our neighbors to the South have no choice, not only have many lost everything they own, they have also lost their jobs. Reflecting on THAT, those of us fortunate to have been spared really have very little to whine about doncha think??
Same here. What is the big deal?

Unless you want to deal with
maladjusted adult children for the rest of your life, who have very little to offer you because they can't figure out how to live a good life, if I were you, I'd get out of there tomorrow. Don't worry, you won't have to explain to him. He probably can't believe he has met a woman who would accept that type of behavior. It will not come as a surprise to anyone that you leave.
Yeah yeah, there were some good times mixed in there somewhere but they are canceled out the moment he treated your daughter with disdain. Your allowing it just proved to her she is an unworthy person. The one child who might take care of you when you get old is going to not be there for you (and believe me, you will need her).
if you can deal with it...sm
for a while and it pays your bills, take it, at least until something else comes up. it seems you have more pluses than negative right now. good luck
what is the big deal?
It directly specifically answered the original question and is a direct link to the credentialing body without naming names or bashing anyone?
what's the big deal ?
remember that some day when YOU need a favor.
same deal here
same deal, it works well in radiology where there are so many normal reports. i think its a cost saver in the long run for the facility but when the docs are training on it, if it learns something wrong, it stays wrong, so the docs are not big fans, esp older ones
Exactly! What's the big deal?
Why would anyone be offended by that?
What was the deal with her....sm
sprawled out on stage like that while singing? At least she wasn't humping the stage like a couple of weeks ago but she didn't dress or act like one would when singing that type of song.
I don't know if that is such a bad deal...
Gas may be expensive and you may have to buy your own paper but really, is it such a big deal?
Think about the perks of it. You transcribe for all the same doctors, so there is no "sneak attack" of the backlogged account that suddenly ends up in your queue and you have never worked before. You know the area and all the area doctors and facilities, so you don't have to spend all that time researching that elusive reference dropped casually in every report. You also do not have to deal with the headaches of your company's server being down, your DSL connection being interrupted for repair, or trusting your company to make sure all of your reports are being credited to the proper MT number so you are actually being paid for what you transcribe. You have also probably worked your drop-off route to hit the grocery store, post office, and bank, and everyone goes there anyway.
Personally, I would see getting out of the house every day as part of my "paid" job a perk, because although I am pretty happy with my profession, sitting in front of a computer 8-10 hours a day can be pretty tedious. Besides all of that, I am struggling to break 3K a month.
I would definitely do it.
IF he will deal with it, that is best
my sister married a man with 2 kids and she had 2 kids...all about the same ages. His son was a handful. I will never forget the Thanksgiving he was playing around at the table and set our great, great grandmother's tablecloth on fire. My sister looked at the fire and did nothing. I could tell she was MAKING herself do nothing (she may have had a Valium later, I don't know). Her husband put out the fire and took the boy out of the room. My sister still gets upset about that tablecloth, but today he is a pretty great kid and he respects my sister a lot.
what's the big deal?
What's the big deal about asking if anyone needs part time help or if anyone knows of anyone doing any part time hiring?
....just no big deal. nm

What is the deal with EHR anyway?
I have never worked in a doctor's office or hospital, and if I had maybe I would understand better. But I do not understand why the EHR being used in doctor's offices eliminates the need for outside transcription. Do they just check a few boxes on a form to document the visit or do they have transcription done in the office? I have done clinic transcription before, and some of the reports were very detailed, and I can't see how all that information could be documented without someone to type it. It seems to me that if corners are being cut (and I understand offices think cutting transcription costs is a valid way to save money) that it will come back to bite someone sooner or later. My doctor has just gone to the EHR, and while I was sitting there talking to him he was typing on the computer and could barely look at me. (I think he was just printing out prescriptions and lab test requests for me). Also I had several concerns, and he commented that I might have to schedule another visit. His office is affiliated with a hospital now and I think they are only given so many minutes to see a patient. I just think it is sad that the clock and saving a few dollars can determine patient care (although I do not see those savings being passed on to the consumer).
The big deal is
the doctor obviously does not know how to write his own macro (i.e. create a set of instructions whereby the computer is instructed via a couple of Keystrokes produce sometimes lengthy text/formatting/special characters, etc.) and he wants her to just give him the one that she created.
Obviously, he knows how he wants the document to read in the patients chart; what he is looking for is a way to lessen his workload, but he does not have the knowledge that he needs in this case.
I don't really see the big deal...
For goodness sakes. If it wasn't for the doctors, we wouldn't have a job... Why is everyone out to get the doctor? Times change. People move on. No one really owes us anything. I say give him the macros and charge him your line rate for them. They are after all his dictation to begin with. You simply transcribed them into your pc. You didn't dictate them, the doctor did.
No, it's not a BIG deal but
where I work we follow the BOS recommendations and abbreviate all units of measure that are accompanied by a numeral.
It's a done deal...
I don't work for a hospital--it's a medical clinic that houses many docs. The "green light" is in motion fot this to happen--it already is happening and the powers that be are pleased.
I'm not sure you know the deal here
This is a company that preys on offshore MTs, lures them in, gets them work (entire companies too not just individuals) and then pockets the money without paying them a dime. It's not exactly about just changing jobs for them. Should anyone figure out a way to legally go after this person, it'd be bad news. There's so much more involved than just not paying people. She tests for them with companies, has them sign in under specific information (her sign-in information) and gets their paycheck. Yes, she's a scam artist. She's not a boss.
So, what do you pay for? Sounds like a bad deal to me. nm

God help the QA and trainers who have to deal
nm
Agreed; what's the deal .....
There are other companies, instead of spouting your bitterness here... please work elsewhere.
I am really happy at MDI, as are most of the people I work with. I love my team leader. I don't know who you are, but gosh - you sure are negative.
What a deal! Where do I sign up????
Here's the deal. If someone is a Christian,
and they have been saved, the will go to heaven no matter what. Just read John 3:16. That is all there is to it, simple as that. You don't think that Jesus would have made it complicated, do you? If He had, we would all be going to hell.
(Mark Twain said he didn't want to go to heaven because he didn't like harp music.)
Thanks - FBI check is no big deal to me either,
especially if it means I can actually get some work! :)
We don't DO Valentine's day - no big deal - DH says you should (sm)
treat each other special every day, not just one. I tend to agree. I told this to my son who is recently married, and he said he and his wife decided to skip it, maybe a card or something, cause he says he brings her flowers about once a month anyway. I never knew this!! What a great kid I have.
For the real deal,
http://www.pcshorthand.com/
isn't that the deal with multiple...sm
ports for extra printers, etc., and you can switch back and forth from one to the other?? I had several for multiple printers on all computers years ago. I think that's what they were called. I can elaborate if on the right track here, if you want.
One suggestion....let HIM deal with it.
at their ages, there is not much you can do to "help" or change them. They are adults now and capable of paying consequences for their own actions. They are his kids, stay out of it as much as possible. Retreat to another room and try not to let them upset you. Kids that age are gonna do what they are gonna do and you have no ties to them. They will resent you no matter what, anyway. I don't mean to sound so cold hearted, but I have been there. They don't want your help and if they can make you upset, they will try...just because they can. That is all I have to say about it....good luck.
what's the Volvo deal? I like them....nm
