Does anyone now a good website or two for surgical notes? I at times use a surgical instrument site but if I don't know how to spell something, I have to look through extensive catalog listings...or if I get a foreign accent and can't make out what he is saying, then I have big problems, so a site that has sample notes would be a big help too. Thanks for your help. Suzyq

Does anyone know a good website for op-notes...
Hi, does anyone have any websites that are good for surgical words? I have limited books, try to use Int. for most everything. I use surg. instrument sites to look up tools, but not always successful or spend too much time looking through their quite extensive catalog. Thanks for your help...Suzy

op notes
Subject: op notes
I have never encountered such a rule. I don't generally listen to where the dictators want their paragraphs, though. They usually put in way too many. I start a new paragraph after the prep and drape description and a I start a new paragraph for the closing of the wounds. I add new paragraphs when the surgeon is addressing a new area. That's just my style of transcribing. I'm not saying it's the right way to do it. It just makes sense to me and I would think it is easier to read and comprehend that way.

Subject: NWMNMT:Good grief, good grief, good grief..If this is the case, the doctor should also explain
the meaning in an ADDENDUM.
How do you know what the doctor meant? GOOD GRIEF, are you the know-it-all (hyphens must be put here, as it is used as a noun!) on this board? Get over yourself!
Who understands what it means without an explanation?
The MOST obvious is apparently like I understood it:
5 packs in 1 year.
Maybe the doctor really meant this, 5 packs per year, so essentially a nonsmoker.
GOOD GRIEF, get over yourself!

Resources for OP notes?

Is there anyone here who does operative notes and gynecology notes who could give me some websites to use for resources? I am on an OB/GYN account and have operative notes. I have trouble sometimes with the specific surgical instrument names and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Paragraphs in Op notes
Subject: Paragraphs in Op notes
I have noticed that when I transcribe an Op note as the dictator dictates it, starting a new paragraph as dictated...that QA always removes the spacing between the paragraphs.
Is there some rule in transcription that you don't break an op note into paragraphs? The client profile does not say anything about this.
SOAP notes
Subject: SOAP notes
Was wondering if there are any websites out there that gives sample reports for SOAP notes. Just trying to figure out which is the best way to do it with paragraphs between each heading or all scrunched together. Just want to see what is done more of. I realize it might depend on the clinic, dr, hospital, etc, but just want to get an idea.
Thanks Carla

Subject: I have sticky notes everywhere with different stages, grades, etc. sm
I think I used to think most stages were roman numerals and most grades were arabic but there are way too many exceptions so I try to figure out which one it is for each specific instance and then write it on my growing list. BOS says types are arabic, roman numerals, or capital letters depending on type referred to. I WISH there was a website with all of the different stages, grades, types, etc. listed. Does anyone know of such a thing??

I could never figure out which one was correct and asking anybody at the company would surely give 2 different answers. I've never once been dinged for changing it to nursing notes, probably because the editors can't agree which of the others is correct.
