but it depends on if your account is strict "type what they say" and abbreviations like this are okay. I'm not in my office so I can't check BOS, but I'd bet the BOS says write it out unless you have strict rules about typing what is dictated.

usually he says laboratory data and he did not on this report.  He talked about the ECG then just said INR 3.0.  The doctor says type as dictated, so I did not feel it went under ECG thats why I wanted to make sure about the lab, not unless it would appropriately fit under ECG??  Thanks

crashing. On the other hand, BOS says non is a word that in most cases does not need a hypen, so it does vary in many instances. Non can be combined with the word being used. Noncommental is an example, but there is no hyphenated statement following it.
