I'm guessing you mean military time?

Subject: I'm guessing you mean military time?

If so, it's just whatever numbers he says, i.e. TIME OF DEATH:  1300 hours  or 1356 hours - type the hours as above with no colon.  The first would be 1:00 p.m., the second example is 1:56 p.m. in civilian time.  Do not translate what he gives you. 


Just type it as the numerals above, no colon.

I was taught to transcribe military time without a colon, i.e. 1412.  Is this still the way to do it?  TIA.

Subject: military time

I have always typed it without a colon, and for 20 years no one has told me to change it. Miliary time, because spoken in 100 hours, if you place the colon it changes that aspect.

Subject: Military time

Military time is alway typed out 0710 with the zero in front.  Otherwise, 0001 or 1 minute after midnight would look pretty weird without all the zero and look like something totally different.  This keeps things consistent and in order.  Believe me, after 4 years in the Air Force myself and 9 years total as an Air Force wife, these things you never forget.

How to transcribe military time?
Subject: How to transcribe military time?

Regular time on the account is transcribe as HR:MN, if that makes a difference.


Dr dictates 0100 hours, how is this typed? 01:00  or 0100 hours or 0100 hrs or 0100 h?  This isn't addressed in the account specifics.


Thanks.


Never use a colon for military time sm
Subject: Never use a colon for military time sm

And it should always be followed by the word "hours."


0100 hours


1300 hours


1645 hours


Sometimes the doctors will dictate it differently, but unless the account is verbatim, leave out the colon and put in the word "hours."


(Former Air Force member here - got that drilled into me during basic training.)
