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.
