difference between abbreviation and
Subject: difference between abbreviation and
When in doubt, I refer to Stedman's Abbreviation book. For example, I have always hated typing "afib" for atrial fibrillation, so I looked it up. In this book, the proper way to abbreviate it is AFib. As far as cc versus mL, that is a Joint Commission requirement, not a BOS issue. Another example is sed rate. There is no approved abbreviation that sounds like sed rate, but the book shows sed rt, which is something I wouldn't use. Sed is truncated, not abbreviated, so I expand to sedimentation rate.
I work for 2 companies with slightly different approaches to a couple of BOS issues, both being very reputable MTSOs, so I have to keep them straight in my head. One wants me to use platelets if that is what is said in the CBC dictation; the other wants me to use platelet count.
You will have to decide what path you need to take.

The dictator has a very strong accent which makes it even more difficult... he could be saying either. Thanks for any help!

Subject: Is your patient a male? There are male sounds and female sounds. sm
Male sounds are shaped differently than female sounds. Obviously, male sounds being longer. They are used to dilate the urethra in order to facilitate the passage of stones or perhaps JJ stents etc. They come in different diameters ie..18FR, 20FR etc. Hope this helps.
