You're right! I forgot! I'm happy! Not even a hugely ignorant poster can change that! I AM hap
This is the dawn of my happy day, and I will NOT forget it again! Thanks Michelle!!  Well, Dr. Burpinchortle is calling me - he has a STAT report! Really, its been fun, and I would love to do it again! Maybe tomorrow night??  This was really fun! I mean it!!  Good night!
E-signature help. sm
Is this service available for IC MTs? I would like to get it, but have no knowledge of how to get it. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
check signature
It's going to be very tough to fight. The drivers licence would have to have been shown, so did you let somebody use it? Have your signature verified as well.

Most likely you will have to pay it and it can be expensive depending on where you are. My daughter-in-law got a ticket in Oregon for 500.00 for lack of proof of insurance. She had to pay the 500.00, plus another 400.00 to the state, PLUS she has to carry insurance in Oregon, even though she doesn't live there, for three years.
Electronic Signature/sm
I just add this phrase to the doctor signature line in the reports "(Electronic signature has been affixed)."  I do not have any special program.  Is there one out there?
Electronic signature
Where can I get information on electronic signatures and HIPAA compliance regarding this? Thanks!
You do not get any credit for the signature
line, patient demographics, carbon copy lines, etc. Some of this info may not take a lot of effort on your part, but it still will take a bit of input for which you will not be paid. These saves lines add up at the end of the day, thus saving the hospital tons of money. It makes you wonder what will be cut next to save a buck?
electronic signature software

I own a small home based medical transcription business and have been asked by prospective new clients about electronic signature capabilities.  Can anyone recommend a company or any advice regarding my document management needs.  I currently have physician offices set up digitally without any electronic signature capability at all.


Thanks


Offering E-Signature to a Client

 


Hi,


Does anyone know about offernig E-Signature to a client? Is there a way to do it easily, on your own -- I mean, instead of signing up with a big company like Vianeta or Bayscribe to handle all of the reports you type and want to send to a client.


Or... If that's the only way to go - through a big company - are there any big companies that are economical if you just have 1-2 doctor clients?  I know some of those companies charge like $5,000 as a set up fee.  Thank you.


Dave


 


 I mean, I'm sure you can do it


I think the on-line signature service
was something like 90 for me last year, can't remember exact amount, and he really helped me a lot.  The first couple of years, I went to an actual office too and got charged an arm and a leg and thought what's the deal, charged for every page and form they did and thought I can just plug the numbers that I gave her into those screens as well as she can.  They were charging more than my ex got charged at an accounting firm when we were married, and his business was WAY more complicated.  That's when I started doing my taxes myself using some system on-line.
A signature is authorization that the info is correct.
Anyone who has signed a income tax return knows this. A doctor who does not read his report before signing is incompetent. If a report is signed, it is sending a message that it is correct.
one more ques nana: digital signature. ?how do you get it on there (sm)
On that first way you are describing --- are your docs able to SIGN OFF on the note digitally?
Preferences? Setting up NP with Doc signature block

Need to set up nurse practitioner dictator with Doc signature block, think I know how it should be set up but it's been awhile.  Any current examples or preferences of how anyone likes to do this?    Thanks. 


Might need to mail her a letter from a lawyer that requires a signature and take some action. nm

Do you put "License xxxxx" on a SOAP note for signature title?

I am typing up a SOAP note template for a new PT.  He gave me his credentials, plus his "number," which is his license number for his signature title.  He did not say to put License in front of the number, but I think it looks funny without it. Has anyone ever done this before?  Is it appropriate to put the word "License" before the number?  He is away from the office, otherwise I would ask him myself.   


Thank you!  


Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.


Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.


change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
ignore them

let's try to ignore them
I for one will no longer open a post that looks like a bash. We have things to work out and I come her to connect, I don't want to waste time with them anymore. I feel badly for the new people who were on this morning, hopefully they will find other means if they don't come back on.
JUST IGNORE HER. She is going
to go on and on and on. She has been talking about this since July 4th. Please give us a break. Not even going to read all of the posts below. She keeps saying the same thing; and if everybody would stop responding, she will just go away. WE GOT YOUR POINT. NOW STOP.
Ignore her. She's obviously new.

Just ignore.....
that one's an obvious troll. Up and down the board slammin everyone. Anyone with a brain can read these posts and see that YOU didn't say plenty, and that she's obviously trying to start a fight. Just ignore...maybe if we don't feed it will leave. Kind of like a stray animal...though I usually feed those (of course they're usually much nicer:)
Ignore her, she is just being a troll!
nn
You are right, I need to ignore it. I just really don't understand
why she is allowed to continue to post. It is so obvious who she is. The same style. Same emothicon used constantly. I need to remember "Do not feed the Troll". LOL.
never ignore your gut feelings
Every time I have ever ignored mine, I have regretted it. This is especially true when it comes to being a mom. Maybe it is mother's intuition or whatever. Kinda like when a kid wants to know why they can't do something...."Because I said so" sounds so lame when you don't really have a reason. However, I've learned the hard way if I feel something is wrong to listen to my inner instinct--it has never been wrong.
I will not ignore her; I will back her up
We can only blame MTs to a point.  It's the owner of the company hiring cheap labor and not caring if they can do the job as long as a good Editor will clean up the mess.  That's the problem.  The boss saving a penny here and there.  It's going to backfire on a lot of them.  Pennywise and pound foolish.
Anyone here ignore the BOS rules?
I find local docs and clinics here in NE do not care about the BOS rules and actually consider some of them "mistakes." They like things done the way they always were. It drives me crazy trying to stick to the "new rules" when even the samples they give me are set up the same way they have been doing things for years. I find they still make sense and cannot get my brain to wrap around doing things differently for each account. I am ready to give up.I was told by an ivy league institution health clinic to do it "their way" which has been in place since the dark ages. Am I alone in this predicament?
Ignore poster below.
She gives the same attitude to everyone who posts looking for a good company.

Sad thing is it's usually new people to the board, and then they think everyone's like that.

You can start by taking a look at the job seeker's board. If you see a company that might fit what you're looking for you can search the archives and get some opinions.

You may have to test with a few companies before you get the actual information, so don't be shy about applying to many.

Tell him to ignore the beeps...sm
I used to use one and had one doctor complain of that constantly.  I was getting the dictation with no problem, so I told him to ignore the beeps and anything else he heard on the line.  Worked out just fine. Hope that helps!
If there is one bill you NEVER ignore

mortgage.  Always, always keep in touch with them even if you don't have the payment.  Your not alone in your dilemma.  The mortage companies have been very flexible and willing to work with payment issues in the past year.  Not sure if the options are still available since they've started foreclosure proceedings, but there are payment plans and now the popular "modification" loans.  Pick up the phone and call them - do it ASAP.  Explain your situation, decreased income, ARM adjustment and see if there is an option to keep you in the home at a payment that is comfortable.  I know many of the lenders are waiting for the exact guidelines on March 4th under the new stimulus plan to come out.  Hopefully this will be the saving grace some are hoping for. 


I wish you luck though, I know you're in a touch situation.  I was there too so can truly sympathize.  My loan is currently pending modification, but I first started with a payment plan.  My fingers and toes are crossed. 


Ignore that message!!!

I got the same thing last week.  I was on the internet and a message came up that looked like it was from Windows (but it  from somewhere on the internet) saying how many trojans and bad stuff I had on my computer.  It's a total crock!!!  If you responded to the message and click ok, you I couldn't say for sure what you are in for.  Someone is trying to get access to your computer.  If you are uneasy about something, listen to that inner voice.  You can always do a check later on your own to verify anything.


If you just had it cleaned up by a professional and have a good firewall and antivirus installed on your computer then don't worry about it if you didn't get curious about the message.  If you did then you might need to check that out.


just ignore the naysayers sm
you are the one making the money and doing the work and only you!  We have all heard this kind of stuff.  Just keep laughing all the way to the bank as you work at home. I am sure most of us who have made it in this business whether with our own accounts or a national (national for me and it can work) have heard all the put downs and negativity.  Just ignore it all. You know what you can and cannot do!  I think a lot of the negativity stems  from jealousy whether admitted or not!
Ignore that post as best you can
I think it's the same 'ethnic' (Indian?) troll that keeps spamming up all the threads trying to antagonize and provoke people. It's all over the main board, company board and MQ board.

Perhaps if we all ignore it, it will float away to whatever continent it came from.
Just ignore it SS, people are going sm
to argue no matter what. I think sometimes folks just get use to living on more and "spend" every dime they make never thinking things might get slow. When it does, then they are hurting. I know, I have been there and to adjust! It can be done. You know the old saying, the more you make, the more you spend?

You are wise not to retire! I see too many people who retire and their brains rot! I think if you can do this as long as you want, at least you know your mind is ok! I don't have to work, but I intend to keep working as long as I can. I have quite a few more years as I am 53 now.

Whoops...I forgot - cranberry sauce, too. My husband would kill me if I forgot the cranberry sauce!
 
Please ignore the above post. I messed up.
I work as an editor for SS. I had problem getting my lines in every day and for a while was doing 1890+ in 4-5 hours. However, after they changed my pay to w/o spaces at their whim (as I had been paid for spaces for the first 4 months I worked there), I just decided I did not care and I do just enough to get 945 in my 4 hours. They are constantly wanting extra help in editing, which I used to pitch in and help as well, but now I don't simply because of the pay change.
No kidding. Ignore the troll.

I would ignore the request and if they persist
tell them absolutely not!

I would not give any samples of my hard work to anyone.
Just wanted to see how my avatar looks...ignore.


Unless you want to see, too. 


Ignore the typos, I saw them. This isn't work. nm

Just ignore this poster! Obviously staying on
subject and reading comprehension must not be a strong point in their skills list! Of course we all care more about children. This poster just doesn't know how to stay on topic and obviously wants a fight.
ignore this "R" message- not sure how that happened!
crazy day . . .
Please ignore the grammar police - I do! They take away from (sm)
the point here. And, perhaps that is the point. We don't know who these oh-so-correct posters are. Perhaps they're management or ceo's. Distracting us with this nonsense won't help our cause. What is important is to get a consensus and, perhaps, write a petition that all who are willing can sign. If we can do this on-line we can each send to whichever newspaper we choose and forward to our congressmen (and women) and senators. Does anyone here know how to set up a blog in which a petition can be drawn up. Let's use our talents (and our significant others' talents) to make this happen. And, yes, there were incidents a couple of years ago when a disgruntled employee overseas threatened to release patient information. There was nothing that could be done as HIPPA does not apply to off shore companies. I find that fact to be interesting and slightly suspect. It brings to mind lobbyists and makes me wonder "why" the HIPPA laws were written in such a manner. There is quite a lot of info here on that incident. Do a search on "release of patient information" or something like that and it will probably rise to the surface! If we all do what lawyers and pundits call "due diligence" (meaning extensive research) and have a forum on which to share this information we can put together a compelling letter and petition. Keep the conversation going and maybe we will find the right people on this website that can do a portion of what needs to be done, and so on.
Ignore her and she will go away and harrass on another board here . nm

I don't have an answer, but I certainly hope you ignore
the witchy people on here. It's none of their business, they're not as morrally high as they want to let off, and it's the same poster just thinking of new ways to say it. Regardless of what they say, just ignore. Please, please, please ignore. Good luck to you. There's nothing illegal or immoral about it. Basically your hubby would be starting his own business, an MTSO himself. Most bosses at these companies don't do transcription, they simply find the jobs and send them to their MTs. I guarantee they get paid though. So, that's what your hubby would be.
For the most part I totally ignore them. Their
I'm too busy trying to make a living to worry what they may or may not consider to be an 'error'.
