I have a trial version of Word 2007 on my computer, and I really like its layout.  It's not a fully functional version, so I can only try it out so much.  Has anyone made the switch from the older versions of Word and liked it better?  Has it improved your productivity in any way?  Any problems with it?  All feedback appreciated.

Thanks!

... simvastatin and folic acid.

I thought that was the definition of verbatim account. What is a verbatim account definition, pls?

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.

Yippee!!!!!!! I am jumping around like a little kid!!  Did someone finally get the message through?? I CAN NOT SEARCH THIS ACCOUNT FOR PATIENT NAMES!!! (or is it just a fluke?) 

Had to share.  TeeHee

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.

When people first started coming to America, it was an undeveloped country.  Aside from the Indians, there were no other people living here.  What other language was there aside from what the Indians spoke?  The new Americans and the Indians learned to communicate with each other and both sides learned the other's language.  It only stands to reason, however, that English would be the dominant language, as they became the majority of those living in America. 

Also, when our founding fathers came to America, they and the others that then followed made America what it was and is today.  THEY are the ones who made America great by the blood, sweat and tears of their families.  They had every right to come over here as they were the ones doing all the work!!!!!  They did that work to take care of the future generations of Americans. 

But now our "powers that be" in the government do not make decisions based on AMERICAN best interests, but for people from other countries.  To be politically correct, we have flooded our country with people that want to prosper from OUR WORK.  They do not come over here and better America in any way.  They better their own little circle of family and actually make life harder for the people who belong here in the first place. 

That is the difference between immigrants then and now.  The more we let them in now, the more jobs we lose, the higher our bills become, the more terrorism we face.  When do WE benefit???????  It has nothing to do with prejudice either.  Who cares what they look like, where they are from?  It doesnt matter.  What matters is what they expect, what handouts they want, the bending of the rules for them while we get no break.

If you are Native American, then I would think that  you would be sick and tired of having all you work for taken away from you.  I know that I am.

they have a mechanism in place to allow you multiple installs. This only gives you 3.

If you want to make more money, then become the business owner, take the risks and then you'll have the additional income. You'll never get rich working for someone else. Complaining and badmouthing management and other business owners never translates into more $$ in the check--sometimes people complain themselves right out of a job.

I know this board is an "open forum" for all topics. It's just unfortunate that so much of the talk is about how terrible management/business owners are. There are lots of good MTSOs out there!

We are not an MTSO, we are employees of the facility working out of our homes.  I will keep track of the e-mails though as you have suggested. 

I do believe though that it is more or less passing the buck.  That way if it was supposed to be in there and it wasn't the doc has someone else to blame.  Thanks everyone.
