h.s. is one of the abbreviations on the list. They say to substitute at bedtime.

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

cc is not part of the official do not use list by joint commission. It has been reviewed, but not added. Our hospital wants us to transcribe cc when dictated cc. I think it is the provider/facility choice right now.
