difference between abbreviation and
Subject: difference between abbreviation and

When in doubt, I refer to Stedman's Abbreviation book.  For example, I have always hated typing "afib" for atrial fibrillation, so I looked it up.  In this book, the proper way to abbreviate it is AFib.  As far as cc versus mL, that is a Joint Commission requirement, not a BOS issue.  Another example is sed rate.  There is no approved abbreviation that sounds like sed rate, but the book shows sed rt, which is something I wouldn't use.  Sed is truncated, not abbreviated, so I expand to sedimentation rate.


I work for 2 companies with slightly different approaches to a couple of BOS issues, both being very reputable MTSOs, so I have to keep them straight in my head.  One wants me to use platelets if that is what is said in the CBC dictation; the other wants me to use platelet count.


You will have to decide what path you need to take.

Subject: Trouble with difference between PRESSURE support and PRESSOR support...

Or are they the same thing?  Dictator says that the infant is gradually weaned from pressure OR pressor support and transferred to p.o. medications.  The infant has congestive heart failure. 

 

The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either.  Thanks for any help!

This is a patient admitted for a hysterectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy. Here is the sentence that makes no sense, this is an ESL, too.


A focus was then placed ** after careful** level of the angle of the mandible, probably to presented dental disease or some mandible node.


 


The sentence before: A PET scan showed the primary FDG-Avid located probably in the cervix, and no evidence of regional metastatic disease, no evidence of distant metastatic disease.


Thank you for any help with this mess.

What about dates, when they dictate like 06/30/2006 or whatever.  I used to have to spell it out in the hospitals I transcribed, has that changed too... looks like I'd better buy a new book (just what I want to do).  TIA

In the hospital I use to work, the surgical department had many subdepartments three of which were called Supply, processing and distribution,  These areas were labled within surgery, I never really knew what each departments responsibilities were because I had never seen it in a report.

I actually corrected a radiologist to her face because she was using that very term incorrectly, just like your dictator! She admitted she'd had a discussion with a professor in school about that word, and I could tell she couldn't understand it when he explained it and couldn't understand me either! She didn't think I was right, but she finally said she didn't care if I changed it! I was appalled that somebody with an MD & I think a PhD couldn't get the concept! What a nut!
