I could not work without my Tessier. It's open all day and the pages flying. A real must for every MT who does op notes.

Sorry, don't belong to any useless...
MTSO organizations or any organizations for that fact. I don't have time.
My question to all the ICs out there - How many of you are willing to pay for what it costs to do direct deposit? I know I would, if my client offered direct deposit, but only if I would pay for the cost of the service. However, I am betting that not many ICs would...but then again, I might be wrong.
Pfaw!!! I quit them! They are useless. A pox on them! nm
This type of post is so useless here
Prove it to the people you work for, or quit your bellyaching, and work!!!
Sorry, but I wouldn't pay 5 cents to take that useless test.

It is useless to supply facts because they don't matter, only emotion. NM

I purchased that book and it was useless. I think half the stuff in it was old. *sm*
My son told me that he thinks every useful thing has already been invented unless it is technology related. Sometimes I think he is right and other times I refuse to believe that every idea has already been invented. I am envious of the women on Oprah who are making a million dollars from a brownie recipe or an umbrella company. Sometimes I wish I could write a novel or a children's book that would be a best seller. I know people that sell one item on ebay such as golf clubs and are making their living doing that. I have never been able to find a popular enough item at wholesale cost to make a living at it. I do have an idea that I think would go over well in a shopping mall (the idea has been used before but it has never been in a shopping mall) but I do not know where to go with getting it past an idea. My biggest drawback is that I have no imagination and no real talent other than I am a hard worker and have moral values.
Updates keep the money rolling in for useless info that becomes obsolete.
This is the stupidest con I have ever heard of on MT world.
well, if not hippa police to enforce - quite useless. huge waste.
huge farce
I use both Stedman's and Tessier
Stedman's for any equipment or materials and Tessier for names of procedures, surgical positions and maneuvers, etc. I also use Google a lot.
more on Claudia Tessier...research and see for yourself...
Press Release
MoHCA Appoints Tessier as Executive Director
Mobile Healthcare Alliance Chair Ann Geyer Announces Appointment of Claudia Tessier, CAE, as MoHCA's Executive Director
WASHINGTON DC, September 1, 2001
Mobile Healthcare Alliance (MoHCA) is a not-for-profit organization formed to help healthcare vendors and providers influence the adoption of standard practices in mobile data management to ensure professional practices and patient trust. It announces now the selection of Claudia Tessier, CAE, as its Executive Director.
Tessier will direct MoHCA activities throughout the United States and internationally from its Washington DC office. She brings to MoHCA 18 years of association executive experience and leadership in healthcare informatics. She currently serves as chair of ASTM's standards committee E31 for healthcare informatics and is a member of numerous standards organizations including ANSI Health Informatics Standards Board and ISO TC 215 on Health Informatics.
"Mobile health care will facilitate a revolution in health care, and I am excited to head this organization, which will help providers and vendors address the issues of security standards, interoperability, and information management," said Tessier.
"Tessier's experience in data capture and health informatics standards provides an exciting background for MoHCA to become the leading organization to address privacy, interoperability, and user issues in mobile data management," noted Ann Geyer, Chair of the MOCHA Board of Directors.
Palm, Inc. is one of the founding members of MoHCA. "Many mobile healthcare applications are very promising, but user acceptance and confidentiality must first be resolved," said Dan Glessner, Director of Enterprise Marketing at Palm. "We are pleased that MoHCA has attracted an executive director of Tessier's caliber. She has the necessary experience and expertise to assist the board in developing MoHCA as the leader in resolving the issues that will enable widespread adoption of mobile healthcare applications."
"The healthcare industry presents a huge potential market for mobile technology products, but there are real issues related to data integration standards as well as data privacy and security. MoHCA is an excellent forum for really understanding the requirements and developing workable standards and best practices. With Tessier to lead and help grow the organization, MoHCA's ability to influence positive action is greatly enhanced," noted Paul Steinichen, Vice President of Enterprise Technology Solutions at First Consulting Group.
MoHCA Members
The diverse membership of MoHCA is unified by a shared interest of ensuring that mobile applications are incorporated into healthcare processes with appropriate regard for the privacy, confidentiality, and security of health information.
MoHCA Members include wireless carriers, application developers, device manufacturers, system integrators, technology consultants, practitioners, healthcare professional societies, and healthcare organizations.

my point actually was that Claudia Tessier
is a contributing Editor to the BOS, the so-called 'bible' for MTs, and how many other books she has written. She is a CAE, CMT, and here she is as a front-runner pushing for the technology that will no doubt do away with our jobs.
Anyone know, does she have any advice for MTs now, is there any other direction we can shift towards to keep our jobs to stay in this field?
This is what she is heading now:
Health Information Transcription and Documentation (E31.22)
The E31.22 subcommittee recently approved two new standards. The Standard Guide for Data Capture through the Dictation Process (E2344) enhances the quality of documentation by improving the dictation process, thereby improving the dictated message.
The Standard Guide for Speech Recognition Products in Health Care (E2364) assists users in making informed decisions about the design and utilization of speech-recognition systems.
Call Ms. Tessier. Here is her contact info:

Was it the Surgery Word Book by Tessier? nm
nm
Claudia Tessier's Third edition 2004, I have
Agree - Tessier Surg GREAT!
I love the Tessier Surgical Word Book, too. One other nice feature is that the new edition will lie flat. Just turn it to the page you need, and it stays right there.
Tessier is not a very good reference book. I have one but
haven't used it in years. I would suggest getting a Stedman's. I believe they just had a new one come out either this year or last year. There is new equipment all the time, so an updated book would save you lots of time from searching on-line.
Tessier's has lots of errors in it. My MTSO
told me to toss it. I don't know how often they update, my copy is several years old, but Stedman's is MUCH better.
Surgical Word Book (Tessier, NOT Stedman's). nm
nm
Tessier's as mentioned & Surgical Word Book
By far, Tessier Surgical Word Book! The Bomb!
nm
Agree w/the Tessier's, but I don't think plans are in the works for an updated one. :( nm

page 179 in Tessier's Surgical Words..chromic..nm

Tessier's Surgical Word book is great for ops

The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier (see message)
is set up like that. It is black with silver and GREEN lettering.
Love, love, LOVE this book! Good luck!
Also onelook.com as the Dorland's links right off there. Book would be Tessier's Surgical Word
s
Tessier's is great! Used in combo with the Sted's Ortho and you're good! nm
s
Has anyone used Tessier paper back version 5 x 8 book with over 2000 pages - does that make it hard
nm
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
