Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?
Subject: Mental Status Exam: Symptom Status?
Here's the context: He smiles much of the time; he is cooperative. Symptom status revealed that he knew that George Bush was the current president and that Bill Clinton preceded him. He denies hearing any voices.....
Symptom sounds similar to System, Simple, etc., for this example. Any input?

I think I am just confusing the issue for you. Here is what the BOS says about Military time. Maybe this is more helpful.
"Military time identifies the day's 24 hours by numerals 0100 through 2400. Hours 0100 through 1200 are consistent with a.m. hours 1 through noon, while hours 1300 through 2400 correlate with p.m. hours 1 through midnight.
This form takes four numerals. Do not separate hours from minutes with a colon. Do not use a.m. or p.m."
In my previous post I made a mistake, I told you if the number started with a 1 0r a 2 it was p.m. - that is not true. 1000 hours is 10 a.m. 1100 hours is 11 a.m. and 1200 hours is noon. 1300 hours is 1 p.m. etc...

I am told to type some test files verbatim and I know that means exactly the way the dictator is saying it. My problem is the doctor is saying ain't and doesn't, which are contractions. This just do not seem right, right?

Subject: clarification of my response
I would leave it as you have it if the doctor is talking about two different fingers, which was my assumption. In my experience, doctors like to omit the word and a lot and commas are substituted. If he/she is taking about the same finger, then omit the comma.

Oops! I meant, in the discharge summary under the hospital course heading must we expand dictated abbreviations as we would under the impression or diagnosis? Or is it acceptable to leave them verbatim.
Thanks!!!!!!

Subject: For further clarification, per AAMT BOS2 if there is a value associated with this abbreviation it should be sq cm, i.e. 2 sq cm not 2 cm2 as too many numerals may cause confusion and not be easily read.

DNR status
Subject: DNR status
In assessment if dictates DNR-how would you transcribe that? I know I have to expand, but would I capitalize it or just leave it do not resuscitate?
Status
Subject: Status
No, I said status means "with." Replace the word "status" with the word "with" since they mean the same thing and then you don't need a comma. :-)
Status
Subject: Status
Maybe you're getting a different vibe from the doc than I would. I would think that he meant decreasing performance in say- his activity level. If he meant decreasing performance status, he would actually be saying "decreasing performance condition." Really doesn't make much sense, even for an ESL, while a lot of them do put the noun before the adjective. :-) Status usually means at the present time where status post means the time afterwards. I wouldn't think he meant "decreasing performance status" meaning the condition of decreasing performance but rather "decreasing performance" with nausea, diarrhea, etc. It doesn't seem necessary for him to add the word "status" after "performance, where "decreasing performance," status, i.e, conditions of nausea, diarrhea, etc. would be necessary. But, the doc's ESL, so who really knows. :-)

Status post

I have never seen/used a hyphen either. I guess it also depends upon what the doctor wants. I have one doctor where I use a hyphen in follow-up no matter what, and I know that is not "correct" just they way he wants it.

Performance status
Subject: Performance status
Since the word "status" means "with" the sentence would read, decreasing performance with nausea, diarrhea.... You wouldn't put a comma before with. It would be bad grammar, IMHO. :-)
