abbreviations list and not AHDI although the BOS contains information about them. You should check with a supervisor or lead to see about your particular situation. Account specifics usually tell you what is and is not acceptable if you are working for an MTSO who does hospital work. Joint commission rules do not apply in an outpatient or physician's office setting unless the client wants it. If this is a private account then you call the shots with the client's approval.

"cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
Subject: "cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
JCAHO requires its members to follow an official "do not use list" and "cc" is being considered for possible future inclusion in the JCAHO "do not use list" to be replaced by "mL" because it can be misread as U or unit when poorly WRITTEN...typing it is not as problematic but I go ahead and change it to mL to encourage dictators to make the "mental shift" away from "cc" ...hope that helps! see this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medical_abbreviations

absence seizure
a seizure characterized by impaired awareness of interaction with, or memory of, ongoing events external or internal to the person; may comprise the following elements: mental confusion, diminished awareness of environment, inability to respond to internal or external stimuli, and amnesia. (The term absence was first used by Louis-Florentin Calmeil (1798–1895) to introduce the concept of epileptic absence for the brief loss of consciousness or confusion seen in epileptic patients.)
