Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.
Subject: Sounds like he was caught not being specific enough.

You should have been given account specific pages that explain what is expected. Nobody really knows what verbatim means until account specifics are spelled out. He needs to take a chill pill and put his expectations in writing, get approval from his supervisor, then run those specifics by the contact for the account. Otherwise all the MTs will change what they are doing and somebody at the hospital will object and then you'll have to change the way you do things AGAIN! JMO.

Spellcheck
Subject: Spellcheck

If you are using a medical spellchecker program, I don't know why you would use MS word to spell check anything. the spellchecker program runs in the background and underlines everything in red that is misspelled. so much easier than having to do a spell check on every document! just a suggestion.
Both spellcheck, but - sm
Subject: Both spellcheck, but - sm

Nonobstructing spell checks but I always hyphenate it as I think it looks better and is clearer. Just my opinion.

I will not use it either. I do not think it is professional looking and if I was still going through training, it would not be acceptable to the school either. but my Stedman's spellcheck will not accept it, either.
use spellcheck to your advantage
Subject: use spellcheck to your advantage

If your spellcheck checks for capitalization (like Word), you can just type the med in lower case, and it will mark it as wrong if it needs to be capitalized. You can then put the ones that need to be capitalized into autocorrect so you don't have to memorize brand names.

Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm
Subject: Question regarding Microsoft Word Spellcheck sm

After completing the typing in a Microsoft Word document, I do a spell check.  When the spell check is complete, and I have to hit okay, it makes a really, really loud DING, and because I am using ExpressScribe and have to have the volume up on my headphones, it is really causing me problems with how loud the DING is, as it either scares the heck out of me or I also believe it is giving me a headache.  So, I have to take my headphones off while doing the spellcheck, so I'm not deaf by the end of the day.  I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off the DING.  I would be so appreciative!

We have been caught by our QA for transcribing Toprol XL instead of Toprol-XL Since there is
Subject: We have been caught by our QA for transcribing Toprol XL instead of Toprol-XL Since there is

technically not a drug called Toprol should this be transcribed as Toprol-XL though dictated as only Toprol. Have not been called on this yet, but just wondering what others do.
