send list of patient names
Posted By: just an idea on 2008-01-21
In Reply to: what would you do? - dilemma for a client
what if you added a page with a list of patient's name that were being sent in file. You could just add names to list as you typed each report. Don't think it would take too long, just a copy and paste. At least there would be some documentation of what was being sent in file.

patient names
This is a problem that I am currently struggling with. My accounts are not 'searchable' and some docs don't spell out the patient's names. I have QC'd these many times with a note AND my e-mail address asking QC if I should be sending all these reports to them minus the patient's name, or send it to them GUESSING the spelling, or just spell the names phonetically and NOT QC them. About 15 requests now, and NO REPLY!! Very frustrating!!! Otherwise, the account is really good. I am new, so did not realize that other platforms gave credit for footers, headers, etc. I know on DQS you get a fair line count on just the body of the report. Don't know about the rest.
Patient Names
You'd be surprised how many facilities have the patient's name on the report. Its not that uncommon. Depends on the facility and the company you work for.
Patient's names
Especially when the name has a funny spellling and I keep going back to the header to see how to spell it!!
Can you copy the patient names in
the My Documents program in Windows XP? I would love to be able to print out the list to give to the doctors so that they have it to correlate with the reports I give them. I have no idea how to do this, or even if it is possible.
Thank you.
OP was referring that patient names
being accessible/available to others was in conflict with HIPAA rules. Just stating that they are not and giving examples.
venting re foreign patient names
I just typed a long report where the patient has some weird foreign name so it's difficult to tell gender. The doc dictates as a male throughout, i.e. he, his etc. At the end changes it to a female. 
Can't read patient's names - need suggestions
Where I work, we receive a faxed schedule each day of the patient's names, but is very, very hard to read. The clinic is not very cooperative AT ALL in changing this, even though we are using a magnifying glass to try to read. Every time we spell name wrong it is returned as an error. Any suggestions on what we can do on our part to rectify this?
The place I work for went from no patient names at all to
now it is accepted and used all the time. Go figure!
they would probably lose the list of names. LOL nm

Patient list.
I too get a faxed list. However, the physicians use the list first and mark the patients they have dictated on. Then I check off as I transcribe. They do not ask for the list back, but if I notice any that the physician has marked that I did not transcribe, I let them know. In my experience doctors usually swear that they dictated the note and tend to get upset if they have to redictate later. I have worked inhouse in medical records so I also know how frustrating it is when a note is missing. The tendency is usually to blame the Transcriptionist if a note is missing, so it is nice to have that list if something comes up. However, at this office a staff member there goes through and double checks to make sure that the dictation is there. It all makes for a good relationship with the client in my opinion.
Definitely no HIPAA in India, just came upon surgery sheet with patient names!
I just googled a term, and up comes a surgery schedule with all the patients' names and phone numbers. Yikes.....
Making a list of funny MT names such as Al Buterol....SM
Al Buterol
Ana Phylaxis
Candy Sartan
Angie O'Tensin
I know there are others...can you help me out?
:D
Re your normals: keep a list handy, name them with short names..sm
then use Control R after you have typed the normal name; i.e.: Dr. Joe Blow has a ROS that he uses all the time - name it JBROS or something like that, then in the document type JBROS and use the control R to bring it automatically in.
No table/column, etc. Just typed list of names
The list is simply typed as
John Smith, M.D.
123 Main Street
Somewhere, USA 12345
I don't even know the specialty unless it's something I have looked up on my own and made my own notes with it. I think she just added each name as she came across it, and (like me) never had a chance (or maybe no desire) to organize it. So, I've done the same, and as I come across new docs, I add them the same way.
I have the desire to organize but I just don't know how except to go name by name/line by line, and I just don't have that much concentrated time to take away from the actual transcribing.
Thanks for your help/and any more help you might have.
Sorry, there is not a list of user names & I didn't know "just me" qualified as a taken nam

MMM, can you call some of mine too? I'll send a list. :)
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.
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.

re: looking up names
If the doctors do not bother to spell the patient names and the offices do not bother to provide me with a patient list for the visit date, they get a verbatim spelling of the name and a note to please check the spelling of all names. I don't have the time to dig around on the internet looking for their patients names and I do not feel it is my job and I do not expect my subs to do it. If they provide us with a list, yes, I expect them to use the list but otherwise they get what they say for names and the office has to verify the names. If the company you work for pings you for QA issues by doing this, then I honestly would find someone else to work for.
looking up names
oh, believe me I do get caught with that all the time and it sucks!!
Let's not name names, please.

names??
I'm applying to several presently...any chance you could tell me which bad ones those are?
first names sm
I am called Grammy by my grandchilden and "Mom" by my sons. However, my daughters-in-law were told they could call me by name as they have their own Moms. One does and the other one doesn't call me anything. I always sign cards, etc., "Mom and Dad and then our last name, so they will still be part of us, but these girls obviously are not as close to me as their own moms. If they did call me Mom it would be okay, but I don't think they think of me in this way, I would be honored if they did. It's difficult. Most of my son's older friends call me by Mrs. and a few, very few by our first names and it's okay. I don't like being too formal. You'll find with grandchildren at some point they will try to use the first name and we always snicker at it,it's just something each of them tried very, very briefly, perhaps once or twice; don't make a lot of it and it's a phase, they get over it quickly if you take it lightly and go right back to "Grammy and Grampy." As long as they don't make derogatory remarks and show respect, I think you have to play it by ear. It's not always easy.I prefer professionals to call me by my first name, a lot ask you on their forms what you wish to be called. I always use my first name, as I think Mrs..... is too stuffy. To each their own, I guess.
first names
I don't care what they call me as long as they are respectful which they all are. I have four girls and we have a house full all the time.
pet names
Shadow is Lab/Golden retriever mix (looks like a black lab)
Sugarbear is Golden retriever/collie mix.

I keep a log of every job and their names...nm
We have those names in our town too.

Blame the names
on the 911 system. To help keep dispatchers from having to deal with sound alike names and sending emergency services to the wrong street the 911 center in most areas gets the final say so on whether a street name is okay or not.
When a small rural county I lived in went with the 911 system those of us who lived in the small cities had to rename some of the existing streets since there were streets in the rural areas of the county over 50 miles away with the same names.
Not street names, but how about....
the STUPID names they give the different models of new homes... When we bought ours, they were things like El Capitan, El Sonoro..... etc. We bought the smallest and cheapest model and my DH always said that we bought the EL CHEAPO!
street names
Used to work on Blue Rock STREET...lived with my folks on Blue Rock ROAD...which has about 3 blocks of what people think are Cheviot Road...goes back to Blue Rock Road....then 5 miles away, next street over is OLD Blue Rock Road Road....creates havoc for delivery people
Street names
We have Easy Street and Boardwalk in our subdivision.
I use Superpages to look names up.
Same as checking in a phonebook..no other personal info.
the names are usually bleeped out...sm
for privacy reasons, as are dates, hospital names, etc. Anything identifying would be bleeped out...at least in my experience...

It is a test run so I am just not sure what they would want me to do. I have worked for several companies that use the doctor's names in reports but not the patients. Even at the local hospital they used the doctor's names but not the patient's name. What would you do on a test run for employment?
There are quite a few names that come to mind
for people like you. Who are you to try to slam me?
My income knocks me out of getting a lot of the "breaks" you are implying. I'm not taking advantage of any of you, period. I earn my way and always have. My children and I have never been on any type of assistance, EVER, and only 2 years have I ever qualified for EIC.
My income alone is more than most couples in this area. I see 2-wage-earner homes taking advantage of MY tax dollars, thank you very much.
You can just shut your foul mouth and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!
At least we have stuck to our names
and people know who we are unlike most posters on this board who change their name on every single post! I guess they like to be easily forgotten.
Funny Names
Harry Butts - I used to work with him - but he died. This was not the Harry Butts proctologist from Houston, though, it was another one from the Tarrant County Hospital District (Fort Worth)
We need to know the names of these companies.
There are too many that pay late or do not pay on time and some are very popular services
Thanks for update. I don't know any of those names, only
saw a few minutes of it, but I'll be watching or taping from now on.
The ugliest names...
Bertha, Gertrude, Janet, Janice, Harriett are horrendus.
The prettiest? Kiersten, Mandy, Natalie, Ursula, Natasha, Lana, Kiersti.....

I used to work with a woman named GayDonna -- yes, that was her REAL name!!!
doctor names
Does anyone know a website where I can type in the name of a doctor with a "sounds like" feature to try and find the correct spelling of a doctor's name? AMA wants the doctor's last name ('required' it says). IF I KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T NEED THE DARN WEBSITE NOW WOULD I??!!! But it allows you to do a "sounds like" for the first name, which is not particularly helpful AT ALL. If anyone knows of any websites that allow this would you please enlighten me? I thank you so much!!

Thanks to you all very much for your help. I've made note of all these sites.
