Usually depends on the type of report
Subject: Usually depends on the type of report

While account specifics vary from hospital to hospital, I don't think I've had a hospital with an H&P that didn't require that you separate out the headings; discharge summaries, on the other hand, are usually allowed to be in paragraph form, and consults are a toss-up. Clinic/office notes are totally a matter of account specifics. When you get into specialty clinics, they sometimes break it down even further; i.e., an ENT doctor may separate out HEAD: EYES: EARS:, etc., and a neurologist may do MENTAL STATUS: CRANIAL NERVES: STRENGTH: REFLEXES, etc. However, in most cases, if the doctor uses headings in an exam for some of the systems/body parts, you usually are to use the appropriate ones for all; as noted, though, that is dependent on account specifics.

Subject: I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.

I have had that happen to me before, and I was told by QA to not move things around in the report, maybe that is the same for you, but if I were typing this report, I would type it in the order as is dictated, even if that means typing it under the heading PLAN.  Also, his vitals were probably taken at the end of the exam as they were repeated, so it would make sense to type them again under that heading.  Hope that helps!

2.5 is 2-1/2 and 2.5 is the proper way to type it. It should be 2.5 mL in your sentence on your post. This is the rule for medications and recently they changed the way they want us to transcribe cc to mL, which was always the equivalent of each other and I don't know why they changed it (maybe they were bored). I understand that they think cc can be "miswritten" and "misread" as something else, but I think that should be directed at handwritten orders and documentation, not transcribed orders or documentation that is typed. The bottom line is they don't care what we think and we need to do it their way. I would never ever type 2.5 mL as 2-1/2 because it is not correct or professional to do so. Sometimes I think they just are bored and think of something to "fix."
