You can find this button on the left under where you enter your text and the abbreviation. That's all you have to do. Also, make sure you haven't accidentally added a space after last character.
WE, the MTs, do not do EMR, EMR is point and click
done by doctors or nurses.
If the doctor of your son is 'typing' into her computer, she is probably doing her own MTing.
How can people be pro or con EMR if they do not even know how and what it is doing and by whom (not who!)
Some people, even MTs think that VR equals EMR, it does NOT.
Don't confuse EMR with click and point.
Click and point may end the need for clinic MTs, but hospitals still need detailed reports for joint commission. Hospital dictation still needs to transcribed.
a true EMR is more of a point and click system...sm
like you see a patient for a sore throat and symptoms come on a drop down menu and you click on "soreness" "erythema" and don't click on "difficulty swallowing"
the idea is to fill in like a checklist. works better in some specialities rather than others i.e. good for podiatry and oncology (think of all the repetition), poor in ER where they need to tell the story. The main thing to remember is each year, the new docs coming out are more and more computer literate. Have you ever seen the way 20 y/o's IPOD, instant message, MP3 and text on their cell phones, all at the same time? The only MT's working will be working for the crusty old farts...so there will be 1 job for every 10.
The ER program is specific to ER and is point and click. nm
It is not applicable to the basic 4.
some doctors may choose to use Point & Click with EMR.

not much actual "data", again it's a point and click thing...sm
it's not like people are actually putting in words, just clicking on the match. I agree with the overall groan about GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) but I don't think it's stemming the tide at all...
no, it's not what he means. Point and Click is Client decision.

the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
I didn't apply, so that's a moot point. The point I was making is that
she's ranting here about something that doesn't even pertain to most of us. You can't come to a MT message board railing at MTs without getting a response. That's why it's not called MTSOstars. Also, it's unprofessional of a business owner to let her emotions overrule her common sense. As for the newbies, they'll learn. We were all newbies at one time or another. None of us was born perfect, not even the MTSO.

The point wasn't that it was copyrighted. The point the poster tried to make

That's not my point. My point is previous owner hired

not my point, actually. My point was the bigotry is the same.
The bigotry's always there. Not all "Mexicans" are Mexican, nor are they all illegal. My point is, though, people used to make remarks about cabbage smell about the Irish just like comments are made now about how nasty Mexicans are.
Every time somebody says something about "those people," something bigoted is coming out. That's all I'm saying.
One Space
MQ employee here and we were told one space!
It's their space. They can do as the please. Go get your own
and make your own rules.
Go get your own space
She wouldn't have this space if it weren't for the MT's who keep it alive. What a silly answer to some genuine concerns.
space changes
Did anyone else get the memo about the change in spacing for MQ? On DQS, there will be only one space after periods. They will let each account know when the switch is made. Its a *new national standard*, the memo says. OMG, so here I have typed since high school with two spaces, now I have to retrain myself to use only one space after periods. Just another thing to cut down on my production.
Yes, its 1 space in the BOS and most new
English/grammar/business references. Since the age of computers, the powers-that-be, whoever they are, decided that the double space after a period was not a good thing anymore. So, most business courses, college courses, etc., have changed to 1 space now. You just set up a macro to change 2 spaces after a period to 1 space when you are done with the report. And yes it does depend on client preferences, though most that I work for like 1 space. Guess they feel they're getting more bang for their buck! 
x2, no space

My space
I love myspace and have met lots of friends! Not Mr Right though! Its just really a fun thing to do, building your own web page and all, if you like doing that kind of thing!
They already took one space away when most...sm
of us went from two spaces after periods and colons to one. This is just the natural progression of them cutting our pay back little by little.
The BOS says x3 with no space
but regardless, I would type what the supervisor wants. It doesn't matter how you have always done it.
I have found out many times that things that I have done for years are technically incorrect. Just part of the game, unfortunately.
You can just hit your space bar, put a . or at least
one character in the box. I just hit the space bar usually.
At MQ we are to space once after a period.
That just changed in the last 6 months.
anything to keep from paying for a space
That is ridiculous and has to do with money rather than the "correct way" to do things.
double space
Geez, I thought I asked a simple question, but I guess not. I could care less what Medquist or AAMT say. I get paid hourly so I didn't ask the question because I was worried about money. I was asking in general style terms - are newspapers, magazines, i.e., anything in print spacing this way now? I just wanted to know if I was behind the times.
I can't put 15yo because if I don't space
after it it won't expand. I'll try the other's though! Thanks, it's really driving me crazy not getting this to work!
Anyone use only 1 space after sentences?
This is new to me on one of my jobs. I have always typed 2 spaces after sentences for 25 years. Going to be hard to break this habit now.
1 space after sentence
I made the switch to 1 space after a sentence more than 15 years ago when I got my first computer and everything was justified. If you can't remember to do, you can make an adjustment in Word to do it automatically for you or just make a macro to do it for you. I have one account who insists on 2 spaces and I cannot remember to do that so I just transcribe as I normally do and then run a macro to change it. You can also do a search and replace. Put in period space space and then replace with period space.

1 space isn't just an MT thing ....
I changed to one space years ago, to go with the flow. I'm not an MT yet (still a student) but we've done this on legal documents for years. It came about with the computer. For once (from my VERY limited MT experience), I have to say AAMT isn't the culprit, its the new way to do things.
1 space after sentence.
Yes I have to do that also. It took me a long time to get used to it, however, but after awhile, it felt very natural.
My work space...
We fixed up half of our basement about 10 years ago and no one really used it after awhile. I just painted (lime smoothie with swimming pool trim - very bright). I have a small TV and DVD player and VCR for when I'm NOT working. Just bought a bookcase for the references I don't use on a daily basis - the ones that I do are on the filing cabinet beside my desk. Also have several movie posters - Dirty Dancing and Ever After - framed and also some Beatles and some of my kids artwork from when they were little. It's very cozy and all MINE.
One space or two after a period.
Which is the correct way, one space or two spaces after a period in medical transcription?
Thanks for any help in advance.
19" with 17" viewing space....nm
can't seem to reply to one space or two ...
I recently made the switch from two spaces to one space after punctuation (periods, colons, question marks). It wasn't forced on me by any means but I just felt the desire to come around in the "computer age." The standard of two spaces after periods came about with the typewriter, but now with the computer, spacing seems to look nicer with one after a period, and that seems to be the trend these days, the one space. I'm glad I made the switch as it is sure saving my thumb from tendinitis!
That being said, I get paid by the gross line, so cutting out a space here and there doesn't hurt my livelihood.
My space protection.
Okay, so you can limit who can see your child's profile but can you limit the profiles your child can search for and look at? That is my question.
space heaters
I use a small space heater here in my office, but mine is old and doesn't work half the time. My office is only 8 x 10. Our power bills are going up 40% (yikes!) this winter, so I want to be prepared to turn down the temperature in the rest of the house and still keep warm in my office. What are some preferences among my fellow MTs? Ceramic? Oil-filled? Forced heat? Which brand names are the best? 
space heater
Thanks for the helpful hint. About how much did you have to pay, and where did you buy it? (If you don't mind telling me.)
Regarding space heaters
I have a very old electric heater that is temperature controlled. What is great about it is if it happens to get knocked over, it automatically shuts off. Please stay away from any type of heater that requires the use of oil, as the fumes can be very harmful in an office. Garage is one thing where the square footage is more, but I would never use one in my home......also, due to the film it puts on your walls, carpet, curtains, and everything else in that particular room.
space heater
Thanks, guys and gals, for the great info about space heaters! I'll definitely stay away from the kind that cost our fellow MT's power bill to increase! Yikes! I'll probably go with a ceramic heater, like the Lasko mentioned in these posts. It seems to be the most efficient and the most cost-saving. :)
