I just found VFFTC on there as I couldn't remember it and was having a major brain cramp. Always remember if it sounds like "B" it could be "V" and check both.
This site has helped me out a lot with those docs that like to abbreviate everything.
I actually had one doc that dictated, as fast as he could talk, under physical exam, WDWNLAM with no clue as to what part of the PE he was getting at. It took me a minute to realize he was abbrieviating "well developed, well nourished Latin American Male."

It shows HCT to also mean hydrochlorothiazide. And Diovan HCT is the actual brand name, so just transcribe it like that.

Can find the abbreviation ANL everywhere on Occupational Therapy sites and they go into great detail
Subject: Can find the abbreviation ANL everywhere on Occupational Therapy sites and they go into great detail about what it entails, but nothing states exactly what the abbreviation stands for... see below
from www.activehomerehab.com
Functional Retraining Programs: Based on functional problems identified in the in-home ANL assessment, the occupational therapist will teach the client and their caregivers, strategies to increase independence with functional tasks such as dressing, bathing and meal preparation. Homemaking retraining programs may also be warranted in which education and training are provided regarding pacing, work simplification, proper body mechanics and use of assistive devices (if necessary), to facilitate return to pre-accident homemaking activities

Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
Subject: Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
I think I use the following site more than anything else. It's a great all-around site for all things medical, but the abbreviation look-up is awesome! You can also look up abbrevs by definition. It also has a medical dictionary, ICD9 code search, Rx look-up, US Rx drug spelling, skin conditions, hospitals worldwide, medical associations, and more!
