Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!
Subject: Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?


Gee, ya think? You should see some of the stuff

I don't know who they got working there sometimes.  So much conflicting stuff it's unreal.  I call them on it every time though and send it to my super.   It's hard enough without the conflicting feedback.


Example:


Dictator said HPI (for a heading), so I typed it HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS.  I get QA feedback that says, "If the dictator dictates the header as HPI, type it in as HPI."  So I'm like okey dokey.Next time I get HPI I do just that.  Then I get a nasty note.  NEVER, EVER abbreviate in the headers, always spell it out.  I'm  like geeesh!


One told me to type out 2:00 O'clock (for position, i.e., cornea).
