Psychiatry
Because so much of it is so unbelievable - it really gives you an insight into the human mind and human nature.
And you'll almost never get just Op notes. Probably get mixed acute care - op notes, discharge su

I like psychiatry, OB-GYN and PEDS. sm
I do not like cardiology or orthopedics.
Psychiatry Transcription
I posted regarding my daughter having done podiatry transcription for 5 years. She also did psychiatry transcription and is willing to help me with these terms. I am mostly looking for something part time. I work in administration for a small hospital and will be doing their Op Reports at night, but it is only 2 nights a week, and they are mostly stuff that can be done in "norms". I am trying to get back "in the grove" and would like to be able to work at home. My husband has COPD, and I would like to be close by for him.
Psychiatry format help
I am testing, so I can't really call for help. The way it is typed will make or break my score, and I have not been able to find any online exapmles to help me for sure.
Psychiatry word book help...
The one from HPI is $18 and will be out of print soon. The publishing year is 1998. The one from Stedman's is $36 and published in 2002. Does anyone know if there's a big difference between the two? I've never done psychiatry before but will be soon. I much prefer the books from HPI but if the information in the Stedman's book is much more current then I'll go with them. Thanks!

Radiology transcription, what type of reports are considered radiology
I have lot of experience with everything and I would like to know what exactly is considered radiology so I know if I qualify for that type of work? I've had many types that I think qualify for radiology.
ER notes
Don't worry. It has been my experience being a Transcriptionist for a huge hospital that I loved the ER notes the most. They are really pretty much abbreviated H&P's and are sometimes the most interesting reports of all. Not nearly as difficult as some surgeries or discharges notes can be. Simple and brief and sometimes a really good story.
OP NOTES
I just started doing op notes at the hospital I work in and it is hard as there are so many different instruments they use that I have never even heard of. I use a surgical word book and Google a lot. That's about it.
To me, O.R. notes
 get really boring. I prefer discharges - just my personal opinion. Plus once I get used to them, I can go really fast.
Doc notes
I do two internal medicine Docs, SOAP notes only and minor procedures and love it I also did other specialities, but all that was lost to outsourcing to INDIA!
op notes
Operative notes. Perhaps as far a leap from clinic work as is possible. Not something for you to jump into with no experience.
Not op notes but
This site has brand names of surgical instruments. You can choose by speciality and manufacturer also.

Even for op notes? sm
I can see where being paid this way would have its advantages when doing DS and work types where there is a lot of paper shuffling, looking for values, etc., but I am concerned about op notes where the dictation is speedier.
OP notes
I love doing OP notes. They are so interesting. Anyway there is a website that I use now and then and it is
www.mt911.com it also has samples.com on it and has alot of different samples.
Also a good reference book is The surgical word book by Saunders.
Hope this helps.
OP notes
I only type OPs. I have done it for 8+years and LOVE IT. Its a niche that is hard for companies to fill, it seems. I would say it would be a great move on your part. Good luck!
Op notes
At my current company, op notes are paid at 9 cents a line for over a year experience. At my previous company, op notes were paid the same as any other type of report; cpl was based on difficulty of the account and ranged from 7.5 to 10 cpl, with op notes being paid the same as other basic 4 reports.
OP notes
If you already work for a service, maybe they have OP accounts. I would tell them you would like to learn. Ask if they could assign you a few each day and have them go to QA for feedback.
I would also buy a few surgical reference books. I feel the books are much easier to use than Google because so many instruments, brand names, etc, sound alike.
Good luck. I love my OP accounts.
RE: OP notes
Some people like OPs and some people like DS. I like DS. They talk too fast on OPs. If you can get them down, they say about the same thing. You can put that in your shortcuts and make more money just by popping it in there.
OP notes
Any good sites for OP notes?
thanks Lori
Op notes
Does anybody have any tips on the best places to specialize in op notes? I need a place where I can do heavy volume ops -- not interested in basic 4 stuff.
Thanks.
me too as far as the notes and sm
standard phrases for certain docs go. It was nice when the docs would come in and talk too or even fuss sometimes! haha Most MTs knew how to come back at them and didn't take a whole lot off them and didn't have to. They respected us (at least most of them) for that. I think there are actually docs now that don't even realize there is a "person" behind all of this doing MT. NEver thought I would see this profession get like this taht's for sure.
And probably her notes look like
Op notes do fit in expander (nm)

So if you've never done OP notes,
do they figure 3 out of 4 ain't bad????? 
Would like to exchange notes..sm
I'm thinking along these same lines..email me. I have some questions.
Love OP notes, which I could do them always. nm

I'm used to op notes, been doing DS lately, hate them. nm

Chart Notes
Was wondering if anyone could help me out. I need to see some example of different ways to set up chart notes. If anyone knows of a place on the net i can view these of would send me some blanked out that would be great!!!!!
Thanks,
Jackie
Lotus Notes
Has anyone used lotus notes to transcribe in? Any info appreciate. Please email me if you like. Thanks!
I think clinic/ ER notes sm
would be a good place to start, either working as an IC/employee for a national or getting your own accounts.
Good luck!
I love ER notes and of course I never get them. sm
My favorite and I still laugh over this, was the patient that came in with a double AA battery in the rectum. Mind you the patient was about 25. Doc snickered all the way through the report and told the patient never to put anything there again.
yeah, I have all that already, that is the notes - sm
I refer to. If I have to I will re-piece it all together based on his info. and my own notations. First have to get the computer operational again, one step at a time.
cut apart chart notes
Told you I was an old timer. I print on sticky paper so that they can stick the chart note into the chart one after another on a piece of paper. It is an 8.5 x 11 label. I print sometimes up to 3 to 4 patients on one sheet as I can and I cut apart the different patient chart notes so the gals in the office don't have to do them and they can be filed right onto the charts. Just an extra service I provide. Takes me 5 minutes to do about 20 pages for all my accounts.
Endo Op notes....sm
I just started a new account for Endo op notes. Does anyone know of any good website that I can use for reference? Thanks.
Do you get more LPH with clinic notes or Ops? nm
x
only clinic notes can have
an actual name in a report. hospital reports should never have an actual name but instead just have * the patient *. hipaa rules.
what are considered ops notes?
I currently type clinic reports but I would like a change. I was considering ops notes. I am not sure what it means when a company indicates Ops notes experience. 
Op notes are a blast (well for me they are fun!)
I love doing them personally. If you can find someone who is willing to let you kinda slowly wade in, it really is something you should try out. You have to be adept at using all of your resources, i.e. books and internet, and you should have a good grasp on basic anatomy. You really should have some sort of bonafide surgical word book at your fingertips as well. If you can give it a shot, I say go for it! It never hurts to learn something new
I love doing OP notes
I love doing op notes. They are very difficult though and i do recommend that you go into them slowly if at all possible. I was doing strictly clinic notes when I came to work here, but lost a girl that did the Op notes and we decided to send our clinic notes out to someone else and I started doing OP notes and other types of dictations. They are my fav.
I think you will need some op notes experience for sure nm
nm
Yes, it is clinic notes...sm
I also have an extensive list of Expanders that I wouldn't doubt was well over 20,000. I've been building it for the last 11 years working at home. I don't even type out the word with (wi).
I appreciate your response and the boost.
Maybe you put that you do SOAP notes and HR
nm
What are SOAP notes?
nm
Clinic notes
Mostly clinic notes from my experience:
S - subjective
O - objective
A - assessment
P - plan
soap notes
Yes that is correct they are chart or clinical notes. The dentist that I used to work for liked the charts written up in that fashion.
S- subjective
O- objective
A- assessment
P- plan
SOAP Notes
I may sound dumb, but what is a SOAP note??
What sort of notes are these?
Do you mean that they are written notes or are they on a dictaphone system?? I am just wondering why you would need someone close by? bj
So do you have the missing notes??
If you have the missing notes then someone is misplacing them and you simply charge them a re-printing fee. Are you doing digital and delivering back or do you pick up tapes? If they want more delivery back, charge a delivery fee. You can make it work if you want to but they will have to pay for the time you are putting into the work. If you feel someone at the clinic is doing your work, explain that also. Good luck.
