Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!
Subject: Lots of Detail for Lots of Help!

Okay, I'm transcribing a SOAP note and this word that I'm trying to figure out is under the ASSESSMENT AND PLAN part. She says the word three times and I am now thinking she is saying something like "number next or number next is." What do you think?


(Normonaxis) Anemia may be caused from a recent epistaxis. He will start an iron pill daily over the counter called Fergon. Next visit we will check a hemoglobin, iron studies. (Normonax) He was in for right shoulder pain in the past. This was resolved. (Normonax) Recent qualm was treated with doxycycline.


Also, I was told to transcribe this using a straight SOAP format, but the doctor dictates things like "Review of Systems" and "Exam." I didn't think those headings or subheadings were in a SOAP format. She never dictates "Subjective" or "Objective," only "Assessment And Plan" as one heading towards the end of the report. Any advice?

The patient will be seen for followup in a week.



Followup one week.



The patient came in for follow up of her acne. (I believe this can be hyphenated to follow-up.) 



The patient will be seen for followup care in a month. (This, too, some MTs hyphenate to follow-up but I do not.)



The BOS has this very issue - Book of Style by the AAMT 2nd edition  - discussed in it.

I'v been doing this for quite a few years, and last night had a report where I heard "Shoreman kyphosis," researched and found quite a few websites spelled this way, didn't really check to see source of websites, just that there were a LOT of them. (slap me with a wet noodle, I was tired and brain-dead because I know better)

Anyway, QA send me an email this morning with correct spelling, "Scheuermann kyphosis." citing Dorlands online.

You can bet I created a shorthand entry for that spelling immediately, and of course, sent of an email to my QA person letting her know how much I appreciated the feedback -- I never have questioned my research without the feedback!

Have a great day.

Will obtain CBC, CMP, FSH, LSH, TSH, prolactin level and serum beta HCG. Spellcheck is balking. For example, it stops on LSH and wants to substitute LH.

Dictator is very clear, but I'm sure she could be wrong.
