I use this as an example of the importance of correct spelling in reports.

Oh my word! That is great. I needed all of those after my darn ILS test!

I didn't see this but I heard about it.
A medical director got in a car accident, emt's come and help him, yadda yadda. Anyway, afterwards he looked at the documentation of the call and it was written that there was proper dialation in both eyes - here's the catch, he only had one eye, the other was glass. Lets just say that the EMT that did the report was in a load of trouble...

A prior service I worked for, being the progressive place it was, was one of the first to try to go paperless. All excited they ordered multiple Hammerheads (like what UPS uses). Being one of the first, they didn't have the keyboards, but they assured us we could just write in what we wanted for our narrative and to just "write" what we wanted. Well, after submitting in reports similar to the following, reports were to be proof read before submitting to me to be assessed for QA/QI. Have to admit - the first two weeks were quite amusing :

Narrative 1 : Pt was picked up at residence and transported to the monkey c ock center (where is that?)...

Narrative 2 : Pt stated she received the bruise on her eye when her husband s hit on her face (hmmm, okay then !)

Narrative 3 : Pt states they received back strain 2 days ago while humping (ya just never know?)

Narrative 4 : Pt was spider raped and fully embroiled (ummm wow)

I could go on and on, but after several problems, we finally got the keyboards and better software ! But it was funny while it lasted !
