what type of report is it?
Subject: what type of report is it?

is this an op report or H&P or what?
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.
TMGE type pain?
Subject: TMGE type pain?

Dr. Says:  She states that she was diagnosed with severe TMJ and that her ear had looked fine, and she also saw a doctor for an ENT consult.  He agreed that he felt this was a jaw issue. 


ASSESSMENT:  TMGE type pain, also some spasm in her left neck.  It seems like the sternocleidomastoid muscle area. So, it does seem like TMJ syndrome.  (What is TMGE?)

how to type out Type I Aortic aneurysm

Would you use a roman numeral for Type I Aortic aneurysm or use Type one or type 1 ... I am thinking it is Type I but I am unsure. I am new to this all. Thanks for any help.
I would type it under PLAN and type what is dictated.
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!

Hi all! I am doing an OP for a lumbar spine surgeon, but this is just for an I&D. He says the area was probed with "sucker tips" and was found to be subfascial. I am not too comfortable with what I am finding online for this. Has anyone heard this before? Thanks!

could she be saying communication, as in an opening has formed between 2 sinuses or something?

It is so frustrating to be given only a tidbit of a report instead of being able to puzzle it out from what is going on with the patient.

sounds like this is some weird wording for microscopic blood.

I've done thousands of endoscopy reports and GI consults, but I can't think why he'd say "affobiddy positive stool" instead of something about occult blood or microscopic blood.
