#Medical Records Data Entry Services

[gatheringbones]

[“As computer programs determine how many patients can be profitably squeezed into a day, doctors become tools. Then the actual machines march triumphantly into the wards.

Nurses are now separated from patients by computers on wheels that roll everywhere with them: their bossy robot taskmasters. When you first see a nurse, she or he will likely have eyes on the screen rather than on you. This has dreadful consequences for your treatment, since you become a checklist rather than a person. If you are having a problem unrelated to what is on the screen, some nurses will have a hard time gathering themselves and paying attention. For example, after my first liver procedure my liver drain was improperly attached. This was a serious problem that was easily reparable. Yet although I tried for four days to draw attention to it, I could not get through. It was not on the lists. And so I had a second liver procedure.

When I read my own medical record, I was struck by how often doctors wrote what was convenient rather than what was true. It’s hard to blame them: they are locked in a terrible record-keeping system that sucks away their time and our money. When doctors enter their records, their hands are guided by the possible entries in the digital system, which are arranged to maximize revenue. The electronic medical record offers none of the research benefits that we might expect from its name; it is electronic in the same sense that a credit card reader or an ATM is electronic. It is of little help in assembling data that might be useful for doctors and patients.

During the coronavirus pandemic, doctors could not use it to communicate about symptoms and treatments. As one doctor explained, “Notes are used to bill, determine level of service, and document it rather than their intended purpose, which was to convey our observations, assessment, and plan. Our important work has been co-opted by billing.” Doctors hate all of this.

Doctors of an older generation say that things were better in their time—and, what is more worthy of note, younger doctors agree with them. Doctors feel crushed by their many masters and miss the authority that they used to enjoy, or that they anticipated that they would enjoy when they decided to go to medical school. Young people go to medical school for good reasons, then find their sense of mission exploited by their bosses. Pressured to see as many patients as possible, they come to feel like cogs in a machine. Hassled constantly by companies that seek to pry open every aspect of medical practice for profit, they find it hard to remember the nobility of their calling. Tormented by electronic records that take as much time as patient care, and tortured by mandatory cell phones that draw them away from thinking, they lose their ability to concentrate and communicate. When doctors are disempowered, we do not learn what we need to be healthy and free.”]

G Witch Onscreen Text: Episode 2

This is part 3 in an ongoing series where I try and document and discuss all of the text that appears on screens and monitors throughout the show! Just because I can!

<<Click here to go back to Episode 1!

(Once I have a masterpost set up I will link it here!) Let us Begin! Below the Cut!

TEXT: (Lefthand side) Registered Name: AERIAL PMET CODE: 5011-0083 MANUFACTUR(ER): SHIN-SEI DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION STATUS: IN SERVICE REGISTERED PILOT: SULETTA MERCURY

At the beginning of the episode, Rouji has Haro run a program that compares Aerial's permet code and registered statistics against other registered Mobile Suits to try and find a match, and measures the probability of the two being the same type of MS. There is no direct match to any other MS by Permet Code, but the system states there's an 85% probability that it's a match for a Mobile Suit with permet code 0025-0082.

We never see the specific name of this MS, but considering that Shaddiq names "Ochs Earth" as the company that made it and proceeds to call Aerial, "...the Witch's Mobile Suit," I think it's reasonable to assume that 0025-0082 was the Permet Code for Lfrith-03.

TEXT: ALERT ACCESS CONTROL [???] [----OF ENTRY A---]

Unfortunately due to the small text of the Alert message, the fact that it scrolls, and it's brief time onscreen, its hard to make out specifically what it says. My best assumption from what we have is that it's a warning currently barring anyone from entry into the 13th Tactical Testing Sector.

TEXT: (Suletta's Asticassia ID) PILOTING DEPARTMENT ID No: LP-041 SULETTA MERCURY BIRTHPLACE: MERCURY HOUSE: NO DATA PC-CRIMINAL RECORD: NO DATA PC-BIOMETRIC SYSTEM: REGISTERED

(Below) WE ARE RESPONSIBLE UNDER COMPANY REGULATIONS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

UNDER THESE REGULATIONS, WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA HANDLING SUCH AS TRANSMISSION TO RECIPIENTS AND THIRD PARTIES.

PLEASE REFER TO THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS FOR DETAILS.

As Suletta is being questioned, we get a brief glimpse at the investigation report the interrogator was looking at before the screen cuts to black when it hits the table. Nothing super interesting here, but Suletta doesn't have a registered criminal record! Yippeeee!

TEXT: CAM: 05 MONITORING CAMERA FACILITY MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Not much to say here, this camera lets us know where Suletta is currently being held. (The Facility Management Company)

TEXT: (Lefthand Side) AERIAL XVX - 016 SIZE: 18.0m 48.9t

No point discussing the info on the right, we've already seen it, but this gives us a look at Aerial's height and weight.

TEXT: (Top Right) COM DELLING REMBRAN BENERIT GROUP

I only included this to point out that wow the display system devs made some poor choices with the UI here. Dark Blue text on Dark Backgrounds? You'd think the text would automatically lighten but I guess we'll have to wait for Ver 6.0 for that update.

TEXT (Top half) MOBILE CRAFT FUTURE TECHNOLOGY

ADVANCED MOBILE CRAFT TECHNOLOGY WITH PERMET MEASUREMENT EXPERTISE NEW POWER SYSTEM FOR MOBILE CRAFT AND HYBRID CONSTRUCTION MACHINE INSTALLATION HIGH ACCURACY DRIVE SYSTEM AND CONTROL SYSTEM IN MICROGRAVITY LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND EASE OF MAINTENNANCE

No need to discuss the bottom half, its just the height and weight of the MC which we already know. I think it's funny how many classes this school seems to have on the new and improved Mobile Craft from Future Technology. I should probably buy one too. I love you Mobile Craft.

TEXT: (Left Image) The Shin Sei Development Corporation was established in A.S. 89. Our business began with the development of integrated operating systems for mobile suits and medical devices. We have been involved in MS development and have supported welfare engineering throughout our company history.

(Right Image) Ranking: D Sales Ranking (within group companies): 151th (out of) Total 157 companies [Mobile Suit Development] Number of clients: Over 300 companies Yearly patents: Over 200

We get a lot of information about Shin Sei in this scene where Martin looks at the Company History tab on their official website. The most interesting thing being that they were founded in A.S. 89. The Vanadis Incident occured in A.S. 101, and the show proper takes place in A.S. 122, so at some point between 101 and 122, Prospera worked her way up through Shin Sei, eventually becoming its CEO.

Given that Suletta had to have been born around A.S. 105, and that in Cradle Planet, we learn that Prospera had been working within Shin Sei when Suletta was around 6, that places A.S. 111 as the earliest she was involved.

We also learn in Cradle Planet, that when Suletta is around 11, Prospera has recently been promoted within the company, and now has many people working under her. That would be around A.S. 116. When Suletta is 16, that's when Prospera tells her that she's going to school, which would be around A.S. 121, and I think it's safe to assume that she had already become president by then.

SO!! TL;DR!! It's most likely that Prospera became the president of Shin Sei at SOME point between A.S 116 and A.S 121. I'd put it somewhere in the middle, around A.S 119. (Can't wait to find out that they probably just outright state this somewhere and I did all this for nothing....)

ADDENDUM

GOD DAMNIT. I WATCHED ALL OF CRADLE PLANET TO MATH THAT SHIT OUT. WHATEVER. I CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION SO I WIN.

The text is too small to make out, but we DO get a small glimpse at the letter Delling sent to Miorine about unenrolling her from the school. It probably just literally says what the body guard reads out.

I think it says something that Delling doesn't even like, text his daughter. He sends an email through the official Benerit Group email account to her bodyguard who reads it for her. What a cowardly man.

TEXT: (Left) FLUSH (Right) EMERGENCY CALL UNLOCK LOCK

YES the toilet text is important to document stop fucking looking at me like that.

TEXT: NEXT STAGE TOUCH SCREEN TO CONTINUE

I'll leave the explanation of the symbolism of this scene as an exercise for the reader. [Sultry Wink]

TEXT (Above) THIS ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE IS PROOF THAT IT WAS SIGNED BY A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BENERIT GROUP.

No way to tell what Delling is signing here, but we do get a brief look at his handwriting. It turns out his cursive is really bad, actually!

At the Shin Sei inquiry, Shaddiq shares this graph titled "PMET RETENTION THRESHOLD VALUE", stating that during the duel, Aerial's Permet Influx Values exceeded the standards set by Cathedra.

This graph can be tough to parse, so let me explain it as best I can. The blue line represents Aerial's Permet Retention during the duel. The solid dark line represents the permet retention limit imposed by cathedra on mobile suits. (At around 500) As we can see, while Aerial began the duel underneath that limit, it exceeded it for a moment (presumably when Suletta took over for Miorine and the GUND bits were activated.)

The red line above that is labelled DATA STORM INCIDENT, which is representative of the minimum Permet Retention a Gundam expresses when it is interfacing with a Data Storm. The text on the bottom reads, THIS DATA IS VERY SIMILAR TO GUND FORMAT INCIDENT DATA.

But the key thing to take note of here is that Aerial's chart just BARELY doesn't exceed the DATA STORM INCIDENT graph, meaning that, despite it exceeding Cathedra's standards, it CANNOT be directly proven that Aerial was interfacing with a Data Storm. This is actually what Prospera brings up as her main counterpoint to the accusation.

So the graph is entirely consistent with Prospera's main argument. While she can't prove that Aerial isn't a gundam, nobody else can prove that it is.

Huaaaahh!! Alright!! This one was very DENSE. If you made it all the way through, thank you very much!! As a reward, have some little gay people

[I sprinkle these stills on the ground like bird seed.]

There was definitely a lot of really interesting info in this episode, and while not a lot of it was particularly new, I think it's really a testament to the dedication of keeping things wholly consistent in this world, even for the smallest of things that no normal person watching would even bother noticing.

Also, on the Shin Sei Website, did you notice that they accidentally put 151th instead of 151st?

You can't win em all!

[mariacallous]

Recently, Zoom amended its terms of service to grant itself the right to use any assets—such as video recordings, audio transcripts, or shared files—either uploaded or generated by "users" or "customers." These assets could be used for lots of things, including training Zoom’s machine learning and artificial intelligence applications.

This policy change raises a slew of questions. What does this mean for user privacy? Why doesn't there seem to be any clearly marked opt-out option, let alone the chance to meaningfully consent and opt in? How does this square with Zoom's previous problems with HIPAA compliance, wherein the company allegedly didn’t provide the end-to-end encryption it had advertised to health care providers? What does this mean for US educators bound by FERPA laws, which protect the privacy of students and their records?

This recent change to Zoom’s ToS underscores the need for companies to give users the chance to meaningfully opt in before their data is used to train AI, or for any other purpose they might not be comfortable with. This is especially urgent when the company in question is so integral to how we live our lives and the data it is gathering is so all-encompassing and personal. Even people who might otherwise have been happy to help improve a tool they use all the time will balk when they do not have the opportunity to affirmatively consent. Anything less than this is coercion, and coerced consent is no consent at all.

As if on cue, this week Zoom released what many read as a panicked blog post "clarifying" what this change to its ToS means and highlighting the opt-in process for its AI-assisted features. Then, the company added to its terms of service that "notwithstanding the above, Zoom will not use audio, video, or chat Customer Content to train our artificial intelligence models without your consent."

But these amendments didn’t assuage many of the concerns that people had raised. For one thing, the choice to opt in or out can only be set at the "customer" level—meaning that the company, corporation, university, or medical office that licenses Zoom makes that decision, not the individual users signed up through that license. (Though individuals signing up for free Zoom accounts would presumably be able to control that for themselves.) And the updated ToS still leaves open the possibility that Zoom might use the data it has collected for other purposes at some later date, should it so choose.

What’s more, neither Zoom's blog post nor its updated ToS contain any discussion of what happens if one organization opts out but a cohost joins the call through a different organization that has opted in. What data from that call would the company be permitted to use? What potentially confidential information might leak into Zoom’s ecosystem? And on a global stage, how do all of these questions about the new rights provisions in Zoom’s ToS square with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation?

Most of us were never directly asked if we wanted our calls to be used for testing and training Zoom's generative AI. We were told it was going to happen, and that if we didn't like it we should use something else. But when Zoom has such a firm monopoly on video calling—a necessary part of life in 2023—the existing alternatives aren’t exactly appealing. One could use a tool owned by Google or Microsoft, but both companies have had their own problems with training generative AI on user data without informed consent. The other option is to use an unfamiliar backend and interface with a steep learning curve. But parsing through and learning to use those tools will create a barrier to entry for many organizations, not to mention individuals, who have integrated Zoom into their daily lives. For people who are just trying to have a conversation with their coworkers, students, patients, or family members, that's not really a meaningful choice.

Zoom is populated by our faces, our voices, our hand gestures, our spoken, written, or signed language, our shared files, and our conversations and interactions. It has become inextricable from everyday life, sometimes directly due to its AI-enabled features. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people use its free captioning for easy access; patients use transcripts to refer back to after an appointment with a physician or therapist; and students may use the “Zoom IQ enhanced note-taking” feature to help them study or work on a group project. These tools make the app more accessible and user-friendly. But the way to build and improve upon them isn’t to try to gain as much access as possible to users’ data.

Instead, Zoom should provide customers and end users with a loudly announced warning and a clear explanation of exactly what it plans to do with user data. It should provide granular opt-in and -out options, and make it easy for people to rescind that permission while still retaining use of a base-level service. Every organization and its end users should be made aware of what Zoom wants to use these tools for, and they should have the chance to say, "Yes, I actively consent." And if they miss that email or news story or whatever other missive, for whatever reason, then the default position should be "No, that user does not consent, until they actively affirm otherwise."

Regardless of what happens next, Zoom fumbled hard on this attempt to engage the public and respond to a valid set of user concerns. This should be a lesson for other corporations that are looking to take liberties with their users’ consent: People are paying a lot more attention these days, and they are increasingly willing to work together to push against their lives being mined for data. While raising the alarm or even switching to unfamiliar tools might be a hassle, more and more people are beginning to understand that sometimes that hassle is necessary.

As generative AI proliferates, it’s crucial that every user has at least some measure of input over how their data is used. When tools are being developed that can appropriate our likenesses and (poorly) approximate our creative and intellectual endeavors, not at our own behest but at that of a corporation advancing its own agenda, pushing back hard and fast is the best way to prevent the loss of input, autonomy, and control.

NHS protest & survive strategies for reluctant activists (England). I am angry and writing stuff down.

●Write to your MP (tory) saying a polite version of "stop being stealthy little shits we see what your doing & we've already paid in our taxes" , if (labour) write a polite version of "speak up against the degrading of what we've already paid for in committee stages and in H of L". Do write not email, do visit constituency offices briefly & politely saying that the nhs service to help (pick a category) is worse in your personal experience . This raises stats and the issue of expenditure at the MPs office, giving the MP the feeling of their (publicly available) voting record will have effects on their reelection prospects and makes them nervous about just supporting businesses in the area who are incoming splinters off the nhs area funding * because you see and notice what your MP is actually effectively doing on this issue*. ● Support strikes by combatting the idea that strike removal laws have any place in modern societies in conversation to combat the facebook bilge, and question the idea that three twelve hour shifts a week makes efficient use of trained staff. Question the removal of training bursaries. ●Most important of all combat conversations that say strikers are just after money. Its the work conditions they want improving. ● American style health insurance doesnt cover most stuff because what they call "pre existing' is what the rest of the world calls medical history. European style health insurance says we charge you a trivial data entry fee like two coffee price AFTER treating you zero payment by the way have you cut smoking down and what is your employer doing to reduce workplace hazards.... ● Place blame on Westminster govt political ideology choices by saying in conversation reply like "public money straight into private companies thats a bit (pick slur appropriate to the group youre in) OI THATS MY MONEY "= theyll think about their own money...

●● Register to vote, group with like-minded ppl for emotional support (protesting is by definition going against a larger group) speak when safe and be charming when you announce that you have observed their behaviour. The illusion that you are their sort of people who see and dislike their specific choices makes their ego worried and that is the best way to get these bullies to change. Know your enemy by name and get local facebook groups to be polite persistant and public community representative = "we see you've done x and are talking about x+1 and we think this is already harmful " is more effective than "help (underfunded group)". Cut off funding cuts as the excuse, youre involved in tweaking and directing funding which makes them immediately say nothing about who deserves or not deserve. ● if your group encounter fascists in charge by accident withdraw and regroup for a wider block counter. Be the better person at a distance to stay safe and protest again. Dont go it alone, act as a group.

■Take photo ID along to vote. Yes this is England, but watch out for this change. It is worth voting. Dont wait for the next big election. The NHS is in trouble right now.

Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Rise of Medical Receptionist Software

In an era where efficiency is paramount, medical receptionist software is transforming how healthcare practices manage their front-office operations. As the first point of contact for patients, medical receptionists play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth flow of information and services within healthcare settings. However, the traditional administrative tasks can often be overwhelming, leading to inefficiencies and errors. This is where advanced software solutions come into play, providing tools that streamline processes and enhance patient experience.

What is Medical Receptionist Software?

Medical receptionist software refers to digital tools designed to assist healthcare facilities in managing patient interactions, appointments, billing, and other administrative tasks. These systems aim to automate routine processes, reduce paperwork, and improve overall practice management. By integrating various functions into one platform, medical receptionist software helps healthcare providers focus on delivering quality patient care.

Key Features of Medical Receptionist Software

Appointment Scheduling: One of the most valuable features of medical receptionist software is its ability to manage appointments efficiently. Patients can book, reschedule, or cancel appointments online, reducing the need for phone calls and minimizing scheduling conflicts. Many systems also offer reminders via email or SMS, which helps reduce no-show rates.

Patient Management: These systems allow for comprehensive patient profiles that include medical histories, contact information, and insurance details. Having all this information readily accessible helps receptionists provide personalized service and manage patient flow effectively.

Billing and Insurance Verification: Medical receptionist software often includes billing functionalities that streamline the invoicing process. Receptionists can generate invoices, verify insurance eligibility, and track payments, ensuring that practices receive timely reimbursements.

Electronic Health Records (EHR) Integration: Many modern receptionist systems integrate seamlessly with EHRs, allowing for efficient data sharing between administrative and clinical staff. This integration enhances communication, reduces duplicate data entry, and ensures that everyone has access to up-to-date patient information.

Reporting and Analytics: Advanced software solutions offer reporting tools that help practices analyze patient flow, appointment trends, and financial performance. These insights can inform decision-making and identify areas for improvement.

Benefits of Implementing Medical Receptionist Software

1. Improved Efficiency

By automating repetitive tasks, medical receptionist software significantly reduces the administrative burden on staff. This efficiency allows receptionists to focus on more critical tasks, such as patient interaction and support.

2. Enhanced Patient Experience

With features like online booking and automated reminders, patients enjoy a more seamless experience. This convenience can lead to higher patient satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately benefiting the practice’s reputation.

3. Reduced Errors

Manual data entry can lead to mistakes, which can be costly in a healthcare setting. Medical receptionist software minimizes human error by standardizing processes and ensuring accurate data management.

4. Better Resource Management

By providing insights into scheduling and patient flow, medical receptionist software helps practices optimize their resources. Receptionists can manage time slots more effectively, reducing waiting times and improving patient care.

5. Compliance and Security

Healthcare practices are subject to strict regulations regarding patient information. Many medical receptionist software solutions are designed with compliance in mind, offering secure data management and ensuring that sensitive patient information is protected.

Choosing the Right Medical Receptionist Software

When selecting medical receptionist software, healthcare practices should consider several factors:

1. User-Friendliness

The software should be intuitive and easy to use for all staff members. A user-friendly interface minimizes training time and encourages staff to adopt the system quickly.

2. Customization Options

Every practice has unique needs, so the ability to customize features and workflows is essential. Look for software that can be tailored to fit the specific requirements of the practice.

3. Customer Support

Reliable customer support is crucial for resolving any issues that may arise during implementation or daily use. Choose a software provider known for its excellent customer service and support resources.

4. Integration Capabilities

Ensure that the software can integrate with existing systems, such as EHRs and billing software. This compatibility can enhance efficiency and streamline workflows.

5. Cost-Effectiveness

While investing in new software is a significant decision, consider the long-term savings and benefits. Evaluate the total cost of ownership, including licensing fees, training, and maintenance, to determine if the investment is justified.

Conclusion

The adoption of medical receptionist software is revolutionizing the healthcare landscape, enabling practices to enhance efficiency, improve patient satisfaction, and streamline operations. By automating administrative tasks and integrating essential functions, these solutions empower receptionists to focus on what truly matters: providing excellent patient care. As healthcare continues to evolve, embracing technology like medical receptionist software will be crucial in ensuring that practices remain competitive and responsive to patient needs.

For those looking to elevate their front-office operations, exploring options in medical receptionist software can be a game-changer. Investing in the right technology not only improves workflows but ultimately enhances the overall patient experience.
