causing difficulty that can be dealt with, then that would improve his nutritional status. This is why AAMT is now advising us to transcribe as dictated. So difficult to interpret these guys sometimes, but we get the gist of what they mean.

Usually it's a GI doc to deal with this, but maybe there is something in the throat of concern, or a swallowing dysfunction. I'd flag it for your QA and say "transcribed as dictated" and let QA handle it.

Good pickup!

improve a patient's nutritional status., but rather do the complete opposite. I think the physician meant to dictate "GI" physician since he/she mentioned the dysphagia in the dictation, which is also a common place for strictures or lesions to develop.

I had an ER report -- tooth pain.  I am sure doctor said cavitary lesion, but when I did a Google search because this was something that I have never heard before I only found that it was a lung lesion?  I left those spots blank where he said caviatary because I was unsure and now QA has confirmed cavitary, but I am still not sure this is correct.  All I could find on cavitary pertained to the lung. Help please . . . I would really like to know for my own peace of mind.
