I've had docs give family members' full names.
privacy. It is informative to anyone reading the report.
Most all my reports have all names listed by dictators.

Doc is using software to do his own reports that puts the ® symbol after trade drug names and
I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a software program, maybe voice recognition, that does this? (I coudn't access the VR board to ask). This is one doctor in a practice that I transcribe for and I usually do his transcription for him, but the last time I logged into their computer to send them their files, there were reports in his file that I didn't transcribe that have this ® behind the trade names. I want to do a little research before talking to the practice. TIA
Agree - my reports are full of blanks SM
this morning. I refuse to guess on vital signs, lab values, and this ESL's mumbling. And lucky me, since I'm the first one on this morning, I'll probably get about 10 of his H&Ps.
I work an account that the doctor names scare you half the death, sm
all foreign names, but the voices are pure heaven - very clear and good enunciation, even the one that have a tangible accident. I feel lucky to have an ESL account like that.
I know a PA from South Carolina at a hospital I used to work at that would bring you to tears. ESL is not necessarily a bad thing.
On my account almost all the doctors end their reports with Thank You.
I think that is very professional and makes me want to do the very best I can for them. I find that I tend to linger a bit longer over the difficult to hear words for them more than the ones who are rude. I still do my best for the rude ones but I just seem to go the extra mile for the polite ones. :)
I consider myself a pretty fast Mt, and I am lucky to hit 100 reports a day...depends upon account.
Average 1950-2200 a day, one hospital account, 90% op reports. nm

Full Core means full CPR code.

The MR reports were being filed. Referring physicians/medical care providers reports were not.
This is a hospital radiology department with in-house MTs and a clerk who is in charge of the report distribution.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Yeah, but full-time lines does not necessarily mean full-time hours, so I would do it if your produc

The two sentence normal reports will balance out the 3 page reports.

What is the difference between an acute care account and a multispecialty account??..nm

I've never had a problem switching from account to account.
The problem I had was being switched too soon. If I don't get one account spec solidly in my memory with QA feedback on mistakes before starting another, I get confused. The other problem I had with former jobs was inconsistent QA. One person tells you one thing, another person tells you another.
Lately, I don't have a problem with it. Right now, my binder has 8 account specs (some I've never had to use) and I'm picking up a new weekend job for a while. The terminology and report formats stay basically the same. It's just all those little preferences. LOL
I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
Your English teacher does not do medical reports. This is for medical reports.

what is your account and specialty on the account?
no one is watching. tell us all about osi.
Well they DO have different last names. nm

re: looking up names
If the doctors do not bother to spell the patient names and the offices do not bother to provide me with a patient list for the visit date, they get a verbatim spelling of the name and a note to please check the spelling of all names. I don't have the time to dig around on the internet looking for their patients names and I do not feel it is my job and I do not expect my subs to do it. If they provide us with a list, yes, I expect them to use the list but otherwise they get what they say for names and the office has to verify the names. If the company you work for pings you for QA issues by doing this, then I honestly would find someone else to work for.
looking up names
oh, believe me I do get caught with that all the time and it sucks!!
Let's not name names, please.

names??
I'm applying to several presently...any chance you could tell me which bad ones those are?
first names sm
I am called Grammy by my grandchilden and "Mom" by my sons. However, my daughters-in-law were told they could call me by name as they have their own Moms. One does and the other one doesn't call me anything. I always sign cards, etc., "Mom and Dad and then our last name, so they will still be part of us, but these girls obviously are not as close to me as their own moms. If they did call me Mom it would be okay, but I don't think they think of me in this way, I would be honored if they did. It's difficult. Most of my son's older friends call me by Mrs. and a few, very few by our first names and it's okay. I don't like being too formal. You'll find with grandchildren at some point they will try to use the first name and we always snicker at it,it's just something each of them tried very, very briefly, perhaps once or twice; don't make a lot of it and it's a phase, they get over it quickly if you take it lightly and go right back to "Grammy and Grampy." As long as they don't make derogatory remarks and show respect, I think you have to play it by ear. It's not always easy.I prefer professionals to call me by my first name, a lot ask you on their forms what you wish to be called. I always use my first name, as I think Mrs..... is too stuffy. To each their own, I guess.
first names
I don't care what they call me as long as they are respectful which they all are. I have four girls and we have a house full all the time.
pet names
Shadow is Lab/Golden retriever mix (looks like a black lab)
Sugarbear is Golden retriever/collie mix.
Mr.Whiskers is a stray wire-haired terrier.
Callie is the Queen of All - our calico cat.
names
cat, Simon
cat, sushi, nickname, shooshoo
dog, spanky
I keep a log of every job and their names...nm
We have those names in our town too.

Blame the names
on the 911 system. To help keep dispatchers from having to deal with sound alike names and sending emergency services to the wrong street the 911 center in most areas gets the final say so on whether a street name is okay or not.
When a small rural county I lived in went with the 911 system those of us who lived in the small cities had to rename some of the existing streets since there were streets in the rural areas of the county over 50 miles away with the same names.
Not street names, but how about....
the STUPID names they give the different models of new homes... When we bought ours, they were things like El Capitan, El Sonoro..... etc. We bought the smallest and cheapest model and my DH always said that we bought the EL CHEAPO!
street names
Used to work on Blue Rock STREET...lived with my folks on Blue Rock ROAD...which has about 3 blocks of what people think are Cheviot Road...goes back to Blue Rock Road....then 5 miles away, next street over is OLD Blue Rock Road Road....creates havoc for delivery people
Street names
We have Easy Street and Boardwalk in our subdivision.
I use Superpages to look names up.
Same as checking in a phonebook..no other personal info.
patient names
This is a problem that I am currently struggling with. My accounts are not 'searchable' and some docs don't spell out the patient's names. I have QC'd these many times with a note AND my e-mail address asking QC if I should be sending all these reports to them minus the patient's name, or send it to them GUESSING the spelling, or just spell the names phonetically and NOT QC them. About 15 requests now, and NO REPLY!! Very frustrating!!! Otherwise, the account is really good. I am new, so did not realize that other platforms gave credit for footers, headers, etc. I know on DQS you get a fair line count on just the body of the report. Don't know about the rest.
Patient Names
You'd be surprised how many facilities have the patient's name on the report. Its not that uncommon. Depends on the facility and the company you work for.
the names are usually bleeped out...sm
for privacy reasons, as are dates, hospital names, etc. Anything identifying would be bleeped out...at least in my experience...
names bleeped
It is a test run so I am just not sure what they would want me to do. I have worked for several companies that use the doctor's names in reports but not the patients. Even at the local hospital they used the doctor's names but not the patient's name. What would you do on a test run for employment?
There are quite a few names that come to mind
for people like you. Who are you to try to slam me?
My income knocks me out of getting a lot of the "breaks" you are implying. I'm not taking advantage of any of you, period. I earn my way and always have. My children and I have never been on any type of assistance, EVER, and only 2 years have I ever qualified for EIC.
My income alone is more than most couples in this area. I see 2-wage-earner homes taking advantage of MY tax dollars, thank you very much.
You can just shut your foul mouth and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!
At least we have stuck to our names
and people know who we are unlike most posters on this board who change their name on every single post! I guess they like to be easily forgotten.
Funny Names
Harry Butts - I used to work with him - but he died. This was not the Harry Butts proctologist from Houston, though, it was another one from the Tarrant County Hospital District (Fort Worth)
We need to know the names of these companies.
There are too many that pay late or do not pay on time and some are very popular services
Thanks for update. I don't know any of those names, only
saw a few minutes of it, but I'll be watching or taping from now on.
The ugliest names...
Bertha, Gertrude, Janet, Janice, Harriett are horrendus.
The prettiest? Kiersten, Mandy, Natalie, Ursula, Natasha, Lana, Kiersti.....

I used to work with a woman named GayDonna -- yes, that was her REAL name!!!
doctor names
Does anyone know a website where I can type in the name of a doctor with a "sounds like" feature to try and find the correct spelling of a doctor's name? AMA wants the doctor's last name ('required' it says). IF I KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T NEED THE DARN WEBSITE NOW WOULD I??!!! But it allows you to do a "sounds like" for the first name, which is not particularly helpful AT ALL. If anyone knows of any websites that allow this would you please enlighten me? I thank you so much!!

Thanks to you all very much for your help. I've made note of all these sites.
