Subject: Expanding - sm

It all depends on your account specifics, but I think some of the trend is to do so under the assessment or diagnosis sections, to make it perfectly clear, as one of my accounts has changed to that recently. I would ask your QA about it and in which specific instances you are supposed to be using it.

Expanding in the diagnosis--How?
Subject: Expanding in the diagnosis--How?

Okay, so I'm an old MT. In the diagnosis section--for example--if CHF was dictated, I've always expanded like this:

1. History of congestive heart failure (CHF) with acute exacerbation.

But, I was told today by a fellow MT that the CHF should be expanded into its full form, but NOT to type the CHF in the parentheses. This is a hospital that has no specific rules other than following "standard transcription practice," which I assume to be the BOS.

Is this something new and am I just behind the times?

Expanding abbreviations
Subject: Expanding abbreviations

Are there any abbreviations that should NEVER be expanded on the diagnoses section of a hospital record? I was told that T-spine should never be expanded to thoracic spine; however I learned that ALL abbreviations are to be expanded and dont agree. Please help.
