Depends on what ports you have on laptop and type of cable you have on the screen...sm

If you have the matching ports and cables, I believe you can do this.  I use my regular sized kb on my daughter's laptop all the time.  Should be the same concept?  If your screen has a usb cable, plug it into the laptop usb port.  The laptop should recognize the new hardware and "install" it. 


If you have a parallel port, the kind with the prongs that insert into the tower and then screws to tighten, you may have to install a parallel port into your laptop.  Don't know if this is as easy to do as on a desktop or not.

If it is business correspondence, I would use the person's "official" first name. If it is a personal letter, I would use the nickname.


If you're not sure, I would advise leaving it blank.

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.

Subject: Depends....

I have an ortho doc that insists on using it the way the dictionary shows it, follow-up. He is not of old school, very young and a professor. Says it is his biggest pet peeve to see it ever used without the hyphen, and doesn't care much for BOS rules.

So, when in doubt, I do it exactly the way the dictator wants it no matter what I think.

Subject: Depends...sm

It honestly depends on your employer's guidelines. Check with your Editor/QA staff. Sometimes there is just no way to make a doc make sense on paper without changing everything around and so it's easier just to really type verbatim; some docs only need a tweak here and there, so you really need to find out what 'verbatim' means as applied to the account you are working on.

Subject: depends on how much.....

leeway you have.  With the comma there, it looks strange.  If you have to transcribe verbatim, I would put a hyphen....thus, * New patient - arm pain...*  If you have more leeway you could make a sentence * This is a new patient with a chief complaint of arm pain *.  If that is too much and looks like you are padding lines, then you could try just * New patient with arm pain *

I think it depends on the state where you want the information.

type for a hospital in Washington state, and they have a state licensure site with just about everything in the same site (i.e. physicians and physical therapists, nurses, etc. )

On the other hand, Arizona has only the doctors in its doctor database, and you have go to the Arizona physical therapist site to search for them.

Generally, when I first start typing a particular state, it takes a while to build up a set of search sites, but as I find them I add them to my favorites and then create a category for that state, so I don't have to search so much the next time.

Have a great day.

Subject: it depends

It depends on if it is modifying something.

The diameter of the wound is 1 cm.

There is a 2-cm length length discrepancy.

That's how I decide whether to hyphenate or not. On plural numbers, you can something tell if it should be hyphenated if it is said singular - i.e. six centimeters = 6 cm or six centimeter difference 6-cm difference

does that help?
