I received a note from QA that I'd spelled the patient's name wrong
THROUGHOUT the report. Since I don't keep a copy of the chart on my computer anymore, I can't go back and look at it to see what I did. I vaguely remember though, 2 days later, that I had a patient that was not on the patient list so I spelled phonetically, marked it for QA that this was throughouit the report and sent it on its way. I questioned the person telling me about the mistake as to whether it was spelled right in the demographics and a couple more questions trying to clear my confusion about what could have happened. This is certainly not something that is my norm, for sure. She replied once, but after asking another question and telling her that I'm really not trying to give her a hard time over this, she has not responded again. Is it possible that someone QA'd my report, fixed the patient's name in the demographics but didn't look at the report body. Perhaps I should have flagged every place that it is mentioned as well? "The patient" certainly would have been a sure thing here but not allowed.
So now that I've ranted a little more over this I'll let it go (hopefully) but I just can't believe I'd have done this. I even use "uj" in my Expander and change it to the patient's name with every report, just so I don't make a mistake remembering how to spell some of the names. I guess that's the biggest reason why I'm having a hard time with this one, because I do the same think on EVERY report, uj=whatever the patient's name is as per the demographics on the patient. AAARRRGGGHHHH. It sure does bug me.
   
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.
Well, that's because it is spelled out in
??? What's your point?
How's that spelled?????

He also spelled ...
... simvastatin and folic acid.
Why because this is spelled wrong.
Everybody else points everything out, why can't I?????? You are multiple personality disorder considering you can never stick with one name.
Wanna play?
Can be spelled either way. Has been for years. nm
I know we have all had things spelled for us that seemed a ---
bit silly, but I just had a doctor spell not once, but twice during the report guns - g-u-n-s. 
Do you not transcribe as spelled?
I thought that was the definition of verbatim account. What is a verbatim account definition, pls?
I spelled it right in my head. Besides, this is

Should be spelled and embarrassed. Where are you QAing?

You spelled "grammatically" wrong
no further message needed
Grrr! I just had a doc who spelled the abbreviations!
COPD, that's captial C, capital O, capital P, captial D. LAD, capital L, capital A, capital D.
Plus...
Patient has been in drug recovery - that's R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y
Really? I did not know that. Thanks so much.
And yes, I know I spelled cystoscopy wrong.........

Perhaps you could make more if you spelled POLL correctly. LOL
Thought it was funny.
Did you notice you spelled grammar - grammer? LOL sm
Seriously though, it is your account and you have every right to demand better quality, and if she cannot provide that for you, then maybe you need to reconsider her as an IC. You absolutely have to be very careful when hiring those who just cannot take criticism the right way. Those are the worst because they are prideful MTs and they will never get it right because they don't think they have an issue! Trust me, I LIVE with one of those.
Get some back bone and start demanding better work or tell her you will replace her. See if she doesn't slow down then! Good luck. Put the whip on her - that should do the trick.
After readign my OP again, I spelled the words incorrectly -sm
in rush to send post. I mainly use Stedman's Radiology Words and lunotriquetral interosseous ligament is listed--w/o hyphen since I do radiology but just looked in the Ortho book and it is also listed there.
Thanks for taking time to list your references
difference in abbr and word spelled out
Hi Debra,
I think the difference here is impacted by 2 things:
1. If you are spelling the word out fully, then it looks dumb to join them:
10milligrams
But if you are writing it in ShortHand as we generally do in medical documents, I think it is abundantly clear to write:
10mg
2. Also we're talking about medical/scientific measure. When I had my transcription business the editorial policy concerning such was this:
If you are transcribing a medical/scientific measurement you join the value and the unit of measure:
2g
If you are transcribing OTHER than medical measurement, you write it out:
She has two houses locally. Of her three children, two are grown.
And Never:
She has 2 houses locally. Of her 3 children, 2 are grown.
No. Measurements are in numerals, all others are written out. That was OUR editorial policy. Others have different policies, and whatever policy is established is how it needs to be done.

I see I spelled *grammar* wrong in my post above. *sigh*
Let me say it before anyone else! LOL
at least they spelled 'remuneration' correctly. Wow, free food! nm

some doctors dont think that is trivial. They expect doctor's name to be spelled right
When you are working for someone across the world, it is hard to find the name of that particular doctor.
She is right to put a blank for this.
I had an account that demanded the physician's name to be spelled correctly. They think of it as an insult.

Yahoo
Is anyone else having trouble with Yahoo mail this morning, I have 2 accounts and cannot get into either of them.
EMR on yahoo
Am I the only person who thinks Obama is absolutely ignorant for making all records electronic? If you go to yahoo and look up the time.com piece, EMR is NOT a smart thing to do. Honestly, is a computer going to fix it when the doctor dictates the wrong dosage of the drug, or during an op note if the doc dictates the wrong appendage, will it fix that? Obama thinks that it will improve the system. I say it is fine as is, and we wouldn't be needing to do this if SO many people weren't outsourcing OUR WORK to India. That sure as heck isn't helping the economy!! But neither are the doctors that dictate with their head in their rear.
