Subject: How to transcribe military time?
Regular time on the account is transcribe as HR:MN, if that makes a difference.
Dr dictates 0100 hours, how is this typed? 01:00 or 0100 hours or 0100 hrs or 0100 h? This isn't addressed in the account specifics.
Thanks.

I was taught to transcribe military time without a colon, i.e. 1412. Is this still the way to do it? TIA.

I have always typed it without a colon, and for 20 years no one has told me to change it. Miliary time, because spoken in 100 hours, if you place the colon it changes that aspect.

Military time is alway typed out 0710 with the zero in front. Otherwise, 0001 or 1 minute after midnight would look pretty weird without all the zero and look like something totally different. This keeps things consistent and in order. Believe me, after 4 years in the Air Force myself and 9 years total as an Air Force wife, these things you never forget.

"If the word hours is not dictated it may be added for clarity, but this is not absolutely necessary."
I got zapped on this a few years back so it stuck.
Never use a colon for military time sm

And it should always be followed by the word "hours."
0100 hours
1300 hours
1645 hours
Sometimes the doctors will dictate it differently, but unless the account is verbatim, leave out the colon and put in the word "hours."

I'm guessing you mean military time?
Subject: I'm guessing you mean military time?
If so, it's just whatever numbers he says, i.e. TIME OF DEATH: 1300 hours or 1356 hours - type the hours as above with no colon. The first would be 1:00 p.m., the second example is 1:56 p.m. in civilian time. Do not translate what he gives you.
Just type it as the numerals above, no colon.

Doctor says * cardiac-wise the patient is doing well * OR * GI-wise he has had, blah blah blah blah...
I personally do not like the phrase * dash wise * The only way around it, seems to me, is to add a bunch more words like * as far as his cardiac condition is concerned * which does not sound like the dictator.
What do you do?

I'm doing a report on a hip arthroplasty, and the doctor says the Secur-Fit shell was driven into place in approximately 4520 parameter based off the sciatic notch.

I have a doctor who keeps saying axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein as if this is one vein he is referring to, but I think it has to be two, so how would you transcribe it when he lists the procedures performed as:
1. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical venous thrombectomy using the Trellis-8 device.
2. Right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein balloon angioplasty using a 10 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 6 mm x 4-cm long balloon followed by 7 mm x 4-cm long balloon.
3. Supervision and interpretation of fluoroscopy for performance of right axillosubclavian brachiocephalic vein mechanical thrombectomy, thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty.
He doesn't pause between the words axillosubclavian and brachiocephalic vein. Should there be a dash between the two or the word and?

If dictated as "four point oh," you would transcribe as 4.0.
The zero after the decimal indicates the precision of the measurement. In lab values, you would need to transcribe as dictated in order to avoid "changing" the measure.
If you transcribed it as 4, the reader would wonder what you left off. A zero in other locations might be optional or up to the preference of the facility, but not this one.
