Normals Explained

Overview

Normals, sometimes called Standards or Routines, are blocks of text that are used often to save time during dictation and transcription. An author can dictate a brief phrase such as, "my normal chest x-ray" and the transcriptionist can insert the blocks of text saved in the Normals database.  An author's normals are made available to the transcriptionist in the InfraWare Transcription Client (ITC) while working on their dictations.

Normals can be created at the following levels:

• Account Normals (KB689)
  • Account
  • Facility
  • Author
  • Author & Facility Combination
• MT Normals (KB695)
  • Transcriptionist
  • Facility
  • Author
  • Author & Facility Combination

There are two places to view or manage MT Normals (IMC and ITC): 

• See KB355 for details on management of Normals in IMC. 
• See KB696 for details on management of Normals in ITC.
