Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
s
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition). I never buy drug books anymore. Waist of money in my opinion. New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
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
Tessier's Surgical Word book is great for ops
x
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
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words is invaluable. nm

How many words on a page?
How many words are on a standard page? I had always used 450 but just recently was challenged by someone who said it was 400. Does anyone remember the original rule? I went to the old AAMT and they won't commit to an answer. Help!
Thanks, Liza
You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm

Personal page/web page resource
Paula,
Thanks a lot for sharing these great websites!
Tessier useless??? OMG!
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.
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.

Was it the Surgery Word Book by Tessier? 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.
Agree w/the Tessier's, but I don't think plans are in the works for an updated one. :( nm
s
Tessier's is great! Used in combo with the Sted's Ortho and you're good! nm
s
Yep, $2.00 a page and the page has about 30-40 lines on it nm
>
NJ $3 page, though I have heard as low as $1 page.
When I worked for a national, up thru 2 years ago, I was getting $1.75 page and heard they got $4.
surgical terms
Why don't you invest in ref. books? Trying to do this job without them is like trying to build a house without a hammer for goodness sake. I don't understand you people - always looking for top pay and taking the cheap way out to do your job without proper tools.
Surgical Transcription
Hello. A local surgery hosptial is hiring im my area. I've been transcribing psych and technical material for 6 years. Anyone know of good web sites for daily surgical transcription, what to expect in common surgeries and any resources for surgery brush up?
Thanks
Surgical account..
I am trying to get a local surgical account but my problem is they currenlty send their dictation overseas. However, they are having to pay their nurses extra to edit/correct them because the finished report is of very poor quality. Here are my questions....Does anyone know how the average of what companies pay for overseas transcription? I don't want to sell myself short but I also don't want to work for nothing. Do I have an advantage because I am local and will provide a "finished" correct report? I am getting a proposal ready and want to make sure I have covered everything. Thanks
Surgical accounts
I have two surgeons, surgical-oncology and I charge 0.12 cpl gross lines with pick up, print and deliver. I do about 10,000 to 12,000 lines per month. Very few procedures but lots of consults. H&P's and letters where I make my money. Can do close to 500 lines per hour with them.
Surgical margin
"if-nas-co" surgical margin negative for tumor. Pleural fibrovascular adhesion was mentioned just before that. Any thoughts as to what "if-nas-co" actually is?
Has anyone used Tessier paper back version 5 x 8 book with over 2000 pages - does that make it hard
nm
The Surgical Word Book
is the best! I do almost exclusively OP notes and I couldn't do it without this book. Steadman's is also excellent, but if you get Steadmans you will have to get two books (Equipment Words and Surgery Words). The Surgical Word Book has both together in one book.
Surgical nursing books.

If you mean the Surgical Word Book, it's the best! nm

IMO, yes. I would love to be a surgical tech.
No money for school, nobody to make the house payment while I'm in school (if I had money to go), etc., etc. I'll be toughing it out for 11 more years till the house is paid off.
Surgical removal of a baby????
I had that one yesterday and thought how strange to work delivery that way. If you ever work on Escription you will get a lot of laughs - it is voice recognition and I have had a ROS that said the man came in through the garage until the cat fell from the sky - have no idea what that was supposed to mean.
All different word books, surgical
A dictionary is not going to be near enough for acute care. You're going to come across many different instruments, techniques, procedures, etc.
The "particular" factor will relate to the client's specific instructions, i.e. expanding, not expanding, symbols, most likely BOS compliant, verbatim, etc.
I agree = cervical not surgical
I just use the surgical word book. There
are three pages of bandages in there.
Buy a Stedman's Medical and Surgical
Equipment Words book. One of the best references around.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm
s
The Surgical Word Book is the Bomb for me!
It has so much in it besides surgical stuff. I then use Quick Look Drug Book, Stedman's Dictionary, and Sloane's Med Word Book. I love books but Google as well - usually double reference. And, let me not forget, the BOS2
