Guest guest Posted April 30, 2002 Report Share Posted April 30, 2002 I had thought the same thing, but maybe in this case they consider it the entire name of the drug and that is why they have it capitalized. D & D is a pretty reliable reference so I have always gone by that. D & D shows Phenergan with Codeine with the " c " capped. Do you think this is correct? Phenergan may be a brand name, but it seems that since codeine is not that it wouldn't be capped. Do you guys cap it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Webmedx employee Career Step graduate, 10/02/01 Experience: 7 months My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Thanks, everyone! Okay, I'll be cool with this then. I just had never thought about it before, I suppose. All of a sudden it just didn't seem right to me, you know? I feel better that everyone agrees, LOL! Some of you mentioned " with " being capped in QLEDB. Anytime QLEDB caps a " regular " word, I always check D & D. D & D is more reliable in terms of that kind of information. Why didn't I feel that way today, you ask? Heck, if I know! Valeria, I am actually on CST, which you know *grin* but I changed it because I report to an op center in Washington state. When I transcribe a report, the company's system fills in the time transcribed as whatever time my PC shows. It doesn't distinguish between the time zones though, so it will actually show a report as late when it's not! Anyway, I changed this computer's clock to PST so that my reports would reflect the accurate time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Webmedx employee Career Step graduate, 10/02/01 Experience: 7 months My Home Page: http://www.renesue.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Re: Phenergan with C/codeine P.S.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Rennie, I do as long as I can document it, and QA has not ever told me otherwise. It is also like that in Stedman's QLDB. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Yes, I was taught that in cases like " Phenergan with Codeine " and " Tylenol with Codeine, " the generic drug that is in there is capped because it becomes part of the proper name of the " compound " drug. (I'm not using " compound " in a technical sense here - I just can't think of a better word right now, okay?) Just to make life REALLY interesting, QLEDB has the " with " in the above examples capped as well! Jayni This e-mail has been scanned with Norton Antivirus updated no more than 12 hours ago.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Rennie, My guess is that " Phenergan " is a brand name and " Phenergan with Codeine " is also a brand name--not a variation on Phenergan but a separate product. In fact, my drug book lists: Phenergan Phenergan Fortis Phenergan Plain Phenergan VC Phenergan VC with Codeine Phenergan with Codeine Phenergan with Dextromethorphan PhenerganD Valeria P.S.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I have noticed that everyone has been leaving the " with " in all lower case, but QLDB 2000 has " Phenergan With Codeine " as if that little word is part of the name, too. Does D & D not have it this way as well? ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: To: " Rennie@Work " , " NMTC " <nmtc > Subject: RE: Phenergan with C/codeine Date: Thu, 30 May 2002 12:06:12 -0500 Yes, I was taught that in cases like " Phenergan with Codeine " and " Tylenol with Codeine, " the generic drug that is in there is capped because it becomes part of the proper name of the " compound " drug.

Anyway, I changed this computer's clock to PST so that my reports would reflect the accurate time. How about our situation. We transcribe reports from a hospital that is about 20 minutes away from us. We are both in CST. The digital system the docs call in on is in EST. So we can get reports that we have to put Time of Dictation on that for all appearances look like the are dictated after they are transcribed. Everyone knows the time of dictation is off an hour from when they are transcribed but they still do not want us to correct it but just use what comes in on the demographics screen. Maybe they fix it on their end but it sure looks funny. Quixote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Now that's fast TAT, type it before it's dictated. You guys just work magic.
