time to type 1.5 hours of dictation..
Subject: time to type 1.5 hours of dictation..
It usually takes me twice the time to transcribe the work. If the doc is easy and you can go right from one template/document to the next, it should only take you like 4 hours at the most. 10-12 hours is an awful long time. What kind of interruptions are you getting.

It might help to know the specialty. I am finding a lithiasis, but I don't think it would relate to gonorrhea, are you sure it is gonorrhea?
what type of report is it?

is this an op report or H&P or what?

Usually depends on the type of report
Subject: Usually depends on the type of report
While account specifics vary from hospital to hospital, I don't think I've had a hospital with an H&P that didn't require that you separate out the headings; discharge summaries, on the other hand, are usually allowed to be in paragraph form, and consults are a toss-up. Clinic/office notes are totally a matter of account specifics. When you get into specialty clinics, they sometimes break it down even further; i.e., an ENT doctor may separate out HEAD: EYES: EARS:, etc., and a neurologist may do MENTAL STATUS: CRANIAL NERVES: STRENGTH: REFLEXES, etc. However, in most cases, if the doctor uses headings in an exam for some of the systems/body parts, you usually are to use the appropriate ones for all; as noted, though, that is dependent on account specifics.
