was roman numerals
It was Roman Numerals until transcription started going by The Book of Style. Then it changed to numbers.
Roman Numerals
How funny, I have transcribed for 36 years and every cardiologist I worked for used Roman Numerals. It is we, the transcriptionists, who started using numbers, when we were being critiqued by the Book of Style. Then I noticed the cardiologists a few times would state, use Roman Numerals and after a while, they went along with numbers. So, maybe you and your cardiologists are post Book of Style.
Roman: Stages. Numerals: Classes (nm)

Roman Numerals versus Numbers
Back in the 70s, murmurs were Roman Numerals. Then The Book of Style came out and that is the first I was told of the change. Since then, it is written as numbers, i.e., 1/6.

It was regarding numerals. This was during my training, so I was full QA. There are 2 ladies who Q
One had made a correction from three-way catheter system to "3-way catheter system." Ironically, I got the same surgeon, saying the same thing, so typed it with the numeral. The other lady QA'd the 2nd report and she changed 3-way to "three-way" so now I'm really unclear as to what to do.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will e/m the question to the QA team. That way, it's in their laps to figure out which way is correct.
Any job I've been on has used Times New Roman at 12. nm

my preference is for Times New Roman n/m

Tanner staging, roman or arabic? sm
TIA! I have always done it roman numerals but am just wondering how everyone else does it!
QA question: Just started new job. Was told to type numerals for everything. Received a
correction from "three-port catheter system" to "3-port catheter system." So typed it with the numeral next time. Received it back again from another QA person and told to type it three-port. So which is correct? I have also always typed figure-of-eight, so now that would be figure-of-8 by the 1st person's standards. Looks funny to me.
Input please.......
Thanks!!

Medical records are data driven. Numerals are data.

note beside workstation....then don't have to look up every time.
