Just when I think I have it on format - I don't. The following is under PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. What would the subheading be?
Patient walks to the right occasionally. She has trouble getting started because of discomfort. She can walk on heels and toes briefly. However, on a tandem walk she really has difficulty with that. She does not line up her toes easily, loses her balance very easily with that. This is typed as dr. dictated. Suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi... Can someone tell me the correct format for what comes after this med in a dictation: "Zarontin 250 mg 500 500 250 500?" Is this 500 am, 500 mid-am, 250 afternoon, 500 bedtime?
Thanks!

This is so small I hate to ask, but everytime I type this it just looks odd no matter what way I type it and would like to know how another MT would type this.
If someone has a dull aching sensation or sharp stabbing sensation would you hiphenate (dull-aching sensation) or slash (dull/aching sensation) or just leave it (dull aching sensation)? Thanks for any input to my "stupid" question.

Format question

I was hoping someone might be able to give me the rule for this.....Should departments be capitalized? For instance, "she saw University of Virginia orthopedics" Should orthopedics be capitalized or not? I'm always confused about this:)
format question
Subject: format question
I was taught that if the "orthopedics" came after the name of the place, it should be capitalized (UoV Orthopedics). If not, it wouldn't be capitalized(orthopedic department at UoV). Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone! :)

Format rules in MT
Okay, I am an old gal working mostly ias in-hospital MT (VA, Teaching hospital), but I did also work off and on for MTSOs at home. Now going back a long time, I was always taught that in formatting Problem Lists or Hospital Course by problem list you transcribe it this way. Problem #1 - HYPERTENSION. The patient is taking lisinopril currently..... or if the doc did not say PROBLEM #1, then you transcribed it 1. HYPERTENSION. Blah, blah, blah. When did this change and become wrong? Most of the docs I am now transcribing for one of the major MTSOs now (left the hospital), actually ask that we capitalize the major problem. Is this in the so-called AHDI BOS2?
IMHO, using the capitalization on the problem is much easier to read, than this...
1. Hypertension. The blah, blah, blah..
2. Diabetes mellitus type 2. Uncontrolled. Not compliant.
Any QAers out there can answer this one for this old school nitpicker?

Can someone show me an example of how to type a report that has multiple problems. The doctor does one problem completely, then goes onto the next one.
It doesn't look right typing HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS, PHYSICAL EXAMINATION twice throughout the report.
