Each doc and/or hospital may want classes and grades a certain way. It is a good idea to make sticky notes like Another KSMT said.

I said below, we do not use slang, therefore use saturating; however if verbatim, then satting is correct.

In general, we are to write out the term in full the first time it is dictated for clarification. Then, if abbreviations are dictated later on, it is okay to use the abbreviation. Again, you must abide by account specifics. Ask your QA person to be sure.

Some of the verbatim accounts allow for medical jargon, so if in the body of the report they said he was given 2 amps of bicarb, I would probably just leave it at amps. If this was in a medication list, as on admission or discharge, I would probably write it out as ampule(s).

but the AAMT BOS dictates what is correct for the industry, getting its information from sources such as the Chicago Manual of Style, the American Medical Association book of style (which I own), etc. As the poster below states, Joint Commission goes by BOS and does not like "same" or abbreviations for diagnoses, impressions, op titles, etc. They will randomly choose patient charts and go through them to check things like this! It's the Joint Commission which recommends or removes hospital accreditations--a very powerful entity.
So, ask your QA what the account wants. If they want "same," give them "same." For other accounts, do it the correct way.

with no BOS wanted per the client, regular accounts who do use BOS and others that do not want it, and others that "just type what I say." So, like I said, refer to your account specifics.

hardcore verbatim you have to leave it as is, whether it looks ugly or not. I know, I really don't like it when they abbreviate left and right, leave words off sentence structures so they can speak faster and get it over with.
