I just had a doc give a patient's birth date as 1961, age 24.
Now I'm excited, I never realized I was so YOUNG!!!
I accidentally saved over my template with the date and a patient's name. I cannot figure out how

Ya know, you probably just killed that patient with your missing period! SM
It's ridiculous when you put it that way, isn't it? In my opinion the MTSOs and the QA people who work for them have gone way over the top. I've worked both in the hospital and at home for the MTSO and I can tell you the HIM Director at the hospital and the docs at the hospital could care less if you forgot your period. When QA tells you that they have had complaints from the client, it's a bunch of garbage unless there are blatant errors such terminology misuse, mispellings, drug dosage errors, etc. The are absolutely NOT complaining about your missing period. It sounds to me like the QA department where you work is just looking for every little error they can find. Some QA editors are on power trips and love to ping you.
I wouldn't worry about it at all. Use your Expanders like the others suggested. You could proofread everything you type, but it's easier and more productive to pay attention as your typing.
Template question. Somehow this morning I saved the date and patient name into my template? I have t
deleting the date and patient name and resaving as a template but everytime I reopen the template the date and patient name are still there. Anyone know how to delete them so that they come up blanks again???? Thanks.
Check the date of my post
How could I have been responding to you if my post was the day BEFORE your post? The software also marked it as being in response to Karen's.
Please Delete my Post.
Now I am Jodi, what do you say?
Sometimes I post things I wish I could go back and delete.
Although, I think when people say things like what you mentioned, they are speaking out of fear. Of course, everyone wants to be married, they just don't want the heartaches. And some of us are no good at picking the right person for us. However, I understand when you are just having a bad day and need to vent and I hope others understand that too. I do wish the best with your marriage and family. Take care.
My post was referring to a patient who does not
speak English, not the doctor. It is not the doctor's fault he cannot communicate with a non-English speaking patient.
I had a doc say that the patient is a 95-year-old post menopausal woman..

Putting patient versus The patient (sm)
When did this "rule" come about? I've been an MT/Editor/medeical records tech/ART for 30 years - Never, ever was I told to put that. You cannot make the sentence be "The patient sent to Radiology" but you can put "Patient sent to Radiology."
Thats just insane.
Up-date
Okay, I found a phone number on my statement for thier "Premier" card so I called that number. I asked where the rep was located and she tole me Buffulo, NY and her name was Vivian. I got the answer to my question and then told her I had initially called and got hold of a center in the Phillipines but I refused to talk to them. I asked how I could go about lodging a complaint about the company offshoring. She said she could forward the complaint for me but it probably wouldn't do any good. I told her it would do some good if more people did as I was doing and also lodged complaints about offshoring. I explained that in my profession offshoring a a huge problem and that it was only a matter of time before SHE lost her job to offshoring also. I told her to include in my complaint that her bosses worked for me and if I, and others like me, refused to use their services, her boss and the company's management would be looking for new jobs. Vivian told me they have call centers all over the world and I just lucked out using the :"Premier" phone number because I do not have a "Premier" card. She said in the future if I want to get a rep in the US, I will probably have to hang-up and call back, several times maybe, until I got hold of a US rep. (Yeah, right, I am calling the Premier number first thing). But, at least I know what it might take to get a US rep.
I realise even the offshore people are just looking to make a living but what about all the US citizens trying to make a living, only to see their jobs go offshore? And I agree that it is "managament" that is responsible for this, but until we stand up for ourselve, no one else will. Management works for us!! Just like the managment of the MTSOs and even the Nationals have no job without us. It it too easy to say, "Well, just this one time, I will use the foreign call center, One time won't make a difference." But it is that one time, added to your one time and added to her one time, added to my one time and on and on, that WILL make a difference. It is too easy to sit back and wait for someone else to solve the problem. That attitude will get us nowhere but out of work or working for slave wages.
Date? Isn't that where....sm
a guy asks a gal out, and they go to the movies, maybe dinner, or something fun? I haven't been on one of those in several months now.
As far as internet dating goes - have you tried it? I've met more decent guys through the internet over the past 5 years than I have at church, in the grocery store, through neighbors, etc. Of course you have to use common sense and if you smell a rat then run.... but often times you can figure out who the jerk or married person pretending to be single is through some chatting on-line before you even talk on the phone. Two guys I met on-line are still good friends and I hooked up 1 with a gal that I knew that they were much more compatible and they've been dating now for 5 months.
Just went on a date!
Anyone have any success with eharmony.com? It's not a good thing when you get to the stop light and bust up laughing over what you just went through!
well now you date yourself and ME..LOL..sm
Well, I'm old enough to be your oldest sibling or perhaps even your parent *L*
I VOTED FOR MONDALE AND FERRARO - it was my first election that I chose to vote in and I think it was 1972. (I didn't vote when I first turned 18). GIRL POWER!!!! YEAH!!
LOL, no, I think you need a date. LOL. nm
.
Actually, the date is right there on the
why is it MOST important to you what I do?
word for date
I use "da" and then change it in the Autocorrect every day. This works for when you're not using today's date.
eww, why on earth would you want to date.
And chances are you will find the person boring, annoying or unappealing. I don't see why people date on those sites, its so set up. Its better to meet by chance, more natural and less pressure. I'm in my early 30s and I see my friends either divorced or miserable in their marriages, same with my family. It gets old real fast, why not have something to look forward to, and use this time to figure out who you are, your passions, and the right person will be drawn to you to complement you, rather than being forced together because you feel like you should be in a couple. At this point I have my own life and forcing a relationship into it would make me irritable and obligated...BUT if in the process of living my life I happen upon someone who fits in there without me knowing it...meaning I can stand him there...well that would be a big bonus. No need for it, or want..been there done that...i'm old enough to know I want it on certain terms. In the meantime, i'll just hug my dog and cat way too much.
Date? Isn't that where a guy takes you out
And expects to get sex afterward? If you don't cooperate, that's the last time you will ever see him. No thanks-- my furry critters are a lot more loving and faithful and are not the least bit selfish.
date rule
Thanks. My mind just blanked and I couldn't remember. It seems like it has changed so often over the years!
Date question
Hello everyone. I know this a dumb question, but I have searched and I cannot find this answer. Can you please tell me when a doctor gives a date in the body of a report do you automatically write the year as well. For instance.... He was last seen on January 19. Would you type the year too? I have always typed the year if I am 100% sure of the year the doctor is referring to. I believe I was told to add it for clarity, and I believe that is the way I was taught in school, but I cannot find it referenced, and I had someone ask me about it. 
Not since today. (what's the date where you are?)
Time traveler, are we?
:oD
LOL! We sure date ourselves when we admit we know

What is the date of this article?
I looked all over this article and could not find a date of publication. Everything vaguely says "later this year.' Which year? The only thing I could find on the entire page was 04/08/02 under the author's byline, and at the very bottom of the page, a copyright of 1995-2002. When you click on the link to discuss the article in the forums, the new page never loads. If you look up all other articles by this author, they are all dated 2000-2002.
I think you are getting upset over nothing. Call Time Warner directly and ask them what their plans are.
All I can say is what is written on my up-to-date
social security forms and the fact I just talked with them in January. I certainly asked the question, again, if money withheld when I turn full retirement next year and again told no, full benefits then. Like I told Doxie, just call social security and check with them.
Please don't delete - We need you!
I do not understand why this post continues to be deleted. I am simply stating what you have already said in your statement to the board. It IS sad to think that this wonderful board, who has been so supportive of American MTs, seems to have given up the good fight. I truly believe if legislation to enforce HIPAA regulations, as well as regulations on financial records, is focused on, rather than simply trying to compete monetarily with offshoring (which, frankly, we cannot do), we will have a real chance of at least stopping the flow of medical and financial personal records from leaving this country. Just because outsourcing exists does not make it right, and as long as we continue to fight it there is a chance to make a real difference. There are still many, MANY physicians for whom the "bottom line" is not the most important aspect of transcription, and many others who have experience offshore transcription first hand and realize the quality is not there. As long as there are people in this industry like Sheri with integrity and the willingness to fight for what they believe, even if it is against the odds, there is hope. THAT is why I am quite saddened to see this particular forum, one of the staunchest supporters of US-only transcription for US physicians, fall by the wayside. I don't think I"m bashing anyone. I'm just hoping you will reconsider. We need people like you!!
I just hit DELETE.
I never say a word to them
Delete what???
At what point does delete that go to far? It's an op note and I get the pre and post diagnosis, procedure, surgeon, asst, anesthesia, etc. Then she goes on to hpi, ros, fh, sh, meds, allergies, and exam. After exam she realizes that she's doing an op note and tells me to delete that and start over from preop diagnosis. Needles to say she was an extremely difficult to understand ESL, wasted about 20 minutes of typing time that I won't get paid for and I had to split my shift.
Sorry y'all it was vent or scream. I chose the vent to not wake up the family.
delete it
when i worked in editscript, i typed right through microsoft word. it was prerequisite that i get rid of all msworks or it would mess everything up. i would delete msworks.
delete key
The reason the delete key is not above the arrow keys is that with this keyboard you will do as much work with your thumbs as possible. This is part of what makes it ergonomic, & I would strongly suggest re-learning "delete" in its current position rather than try to circumvent their system. When I first got my Kinesis keyboard 7 years ago I went through a whole relearning process that was kind of slow & frustrating but worth it in the long run, & now I'm glad I didn't try to do an end-run around their thought process.
But you program keys this way:
Hit "Program" (upper right-hand corner) + F11. The 4 keyboard lights will flash quickly. Then hit the key you want to reprogram. The lights will flash slowly. Then keystroke what you want the key to do. When you are finished hit Program + F11 again. The lights will go out. It's programmed.

word shortcut for date? NM

are you not interested in keeping up to date
If not, then the Stedman's Work At Home is not for you. If on the other hand, you are interested in staying abreast of new technology and updates to words, then it is worth the money. For example, you may not be aware than LLW updated it's Stedman Spellcheck and the words in it are spelled more accurately than the words in the word books published before mid 2004. You may find errors in Stedman books that you will not find in the Work At Home package. You also get to ask about words you cannot document. I have used this feature and gotten an answer within an hour.
Very useful resource for the low price.
School Start Date
Here in NYS the kids don't go back until after Labor Day, which is usually around September 7th of so. Of course, we get out a lot later than those in the South. School doesn't let out until the end of June.
Is your antivirus program up to date
and a really good one because I'm thinking it sounds like you have a virus. I got a virus on my computer even though I had a Norton antivirus program running on it. There are so many new viruses that come out all the time it's hard for the antivirus programs to keep up with them. Maybe you should install a different antivirus programs/sypware CD than the one on your computer. Just a thought
Maybe a letter stating that on such and such date - sm
your rates will be increased to XYZ. Then maybe institute a % discount if they pay in 5-10 days if you don't already do that, kind of lessen the sting (just make sure you don't make less if they do this). If not a letter than maybe on your next invoice. Good luck.
Read the date wrong, BUT STILL
ON HERE TOO LONG.
The above is one of the most eloquent posts to date -sm
about the state of affairs in the Healthcare industry and the MT branch of it. You're right about lobbyists, and I thin we MTs need some right about now. Back in the beginning of AAMT, we all naiively bought into their organization, thinking that support, lobbying, and maybe improvement in pay & working conditions (i.e., not having to work a 12-hour day in order to make 8 hours' pay, and having benefits and health insurance like other Americans) were going to be one of the benefits. Boy, were we ever wrong. AAMT turned out to be right there in bed with all the shady CEOs of national companies, and top administrators of the hospitals, that only cared about one thing. MONEY, and lots of it. (For themselves, of course.) Other companies and industries in this country have been called out on poor treatment of workers (Wal-Mart) and customer fraud (Enron), and both of those evils exist in the MT business and even many parts of healthcare as a whole. We already know we're getting the short end of the stick wage-and-compensation-wise. And maybe now it's time for every MD & hospital in this country to get a chance to either FIND OUT (if they don't know their patient information is leaving the U.S.) or to be OUTED (if they do know it, but don't tell their patients, MDs, etc.) Above all those of us whose medical records are being written to and stored in an electronic medical record should not only have the right to KNOW if our records leave the U.S., but we should also have the right to say "NO, not MY records."
They are correct. They issue pay on that date.
If they offer direct deposit and you wish to use that, then you can receive your pay that day.
It is the same as an inhouse company having paper checks available on payday -- you will have to pick it up. If you don't work that day, don't drive into work until the next day, you won't receive your pay until the next day. However, they "paid" you on time as they had the checks ready.
I think too many people assume too much about payroll laws and absence of language regarding how they receive their pay.
Date format 01/03/2007 or 01/03/07 or
1/3/07 or 1/3/2007? If it's in the AAMT BOS, I can't find it. I looked under dates, months, years. I work on various accounts with varied preferences but curious if there is a recognized standard as to the preceding zeroes in above examples or shortening a year, e.g., /07 from /2007.
How can this be? First date supposed to be mid May, NOT July?
Found nothing on IRS.gov site for a schedule, either.
Meditech shortcut for date (sm)
Could someone who knows Meditech tell me how to use the short cuts. No one ever taught me - just basics of typing - and I know there are things that can help. thank you for your help.
Tons of up-to-date resources;) sm
Make sure you have all the resources you need that will cover a lot of specialties, especially for ops. I wouldn't worry too much. You will basically just be learning more words. Just have the resources you need for quick finds to help you pick up speed. I'm sure you'll do fine!
Can you email me the name of the company you are starting with? Even though I've been in this business for over 15 years, I don't have the "recent" acute care experience most companies are requesting. However, I do have at least 10 years in the past. Thanks!
Delete resume
I am trying to delete my resume from the bank and can modify but can't figure out how to delete it. Help, please.
why do you want to delete your resume - sm
are you getting too many calls for work??? If you are, then I want to put my resume on there!!!
Please delete the below posts
Thank you.
Delete them.........esp if you no longer do them...
For private MDs, I only keep their diskettes 6 months, since ALL the work and an additional diskette has been provided when I returned the work.........
If you worked for a national, you need to send the diskettes to them I would think.........that is, IF you worked for a national MT company. If not, I'd just delete them..........keeping the floppies for myself.........for future....(yep, I still use floppy disks...*LOL*).........
You say you can't cancel it - does that mean you can't delete it?
Have you tried using both the delete button on your keyboard and the delete icon in Outlook Express?
If your camera came with any kind of software, you should be able to reduce the size of the pictures so that this won't happen again. A lot of times I will do a test email and send the picture to myself to be sure it isn't too large.
If your camera didn't come with software and you don't have Photoshop (and don't want to spend the bucks for Photoshop), there are lots of freeware/shareware downloads for basic photo editing software. Just Google it and I'm sure you will find something that fits your needs.
not sure on this, but maybe just delete and replace nm
