Course DescriptionThis course builds on the students’ mastery of intermediate healthcare dictation. Using industry-specific software and equipment, students progress in their knowledge of proper format, grammar, and punctuation as well as refine proofreading and editing skills. Students transcribe a variety of advanced-difficulty specialty reports by healthcare providers with and without accents and increase their familiarity with industry reference materials. Students implement realistic productivity and accuracy standards via a multistep approach of quality control, turn-around time, and records management.

Regarding NetiquetteThe word netiquette is short for "Internet etiquette." As a Kaplan University student,
you should be aware of the common rules of netiquette:
– Be respectful and treat everyone as you would want to be treated yourself. – Wait to respond to a message that upsets you and be careful of what you say and how
you say it. – Be considerate. Rude or threatening language, inflammatory assertions, personal
attacks, and other inappropriate communication will not be tolerated. – Emoticons can be used to extenuate meaning. – Never post a message that is in all capital letters -- it comes across to the reader as
SHOUTING! Use boldface and italics sparingly, as they can denote sarcasm. – Keep messages relevant to the topic being discussed. – Always practice good grammar, punctuation, and composition. This shows that you’ve
taken the time to craft your response and that you respect your classmates' work. – Keep in mind that threaded discussions are meant to be constructive exchanges. – Use spell check!

Late Work – very important!!Late work will not be accepted unless there are clear and compelling
extenuating circumstances. If you have extenuating circumstances that prevent you from completing course assignments/exams you must contact your instructor immediately—prior to the assignment/exam/quiz due-date unless prevented from doing so by emergency circumstances.
– Examples of extenuating circumstances are serious personal and/or family illness/hospitalization, death in the family, weather-related evacuation/emergencies, work emergencies, and issues related to active military assignment.
– Personal computer/software/internet connectivity issues and course blocks are not considered extenuating circumstances. Granting of late-work submission due to extenuating circumstances is at the discretion of the instructor and will require documentation for verification of extenuating circumstances.
– If late work submission is granted, the instructor will establish new due-dates and requirements without loss of course points.

Course expectations and my expectations:
• You will have a set of transcriptions from MTClient due every week by Tuesday at 11:59pm EST of the end of the unit.
• Be sure to proofread and spell check ALL your documents before returning them to me.
• RESEARCH. Use all your resources – textbooks, reference books, web sites provided in the course or from your personal use, the Internet, etc.
![Page 9: Welcome to MR270](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56815133550346895dbf4bc2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Blanks
• If you still find that you have some blank spaces flag them by using this <________> symbol or _______ this symbol. That lets me know that you heard something, but it was not in your reference books and you do not want to guess at it.
• Using this will help you distinguish these during your review process. You should review all your proofed work!

Discussions
• Make sure to read your classmates' postings and post any comments you might have.
• You must respond to a minimum of two classmates. However, responding to more than two classmates would create a more interesting discussion board. – Grading protocol

Ergonomics
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergonomics

Your mouse…

Your eyes…

Your posture…

Your chair…

Exercises for your eyes…• Using a monitor, like other close work, places such demands on your eyes
that it is important to take brief (30-second to 2-minute) but frequent pauses throughout the time you are working with your computer. The recovery pause gives your eyes a chance to recover from fatigue. During your recovery pause, try some of the following exercises to help you feel refreshed. – Note: Don't do any exercise that feels uncomfortable or causes straining.
Do these exercises to help your eyes feel refreshed:• Yawning and blinking can help to keep your eyes lubricated. • Changing focus can help to relax the muscles of your eyes. To try this, look
at your fingertip with your arm stretched in front of you, then to a point far away from you, then back to your fingertip.
• Palming can help to relieve eyestrain. To try this, cover your eyes with your hands, while you breathe deeply.

Exercises for your body…Do these body exercises during breaks:• Deep breathing can help relieve tension in your muscles. • Hand and finger massages can help to keep your hands warm
and reduce cramping and stiffness. • The executive stretch is a good exercise for the entire upper
body. To try this, clasp your hands behind your head and gently stretch your elbows back while taking in a deep breath.
• Shoulder shrugs can help to reduce tension or stiffness in the upper back and neck. To try this, gently pull your shoulders up toward your ears and then relax your shoulders downward.
