"cc" is a possible future listing in JCAHO "do not use list" sm
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

Subject: patient has Graves hyperthyroidism..he is listing lab values & one the recording because fuzzy..sm

Lab tests done at your office on 08/01/07 indicated a free T4 of 4.36 (0.8 to 1.9), T3 was 390 (72 to 170), and a TSH of less than 0.01.  A WBC count was slightly low at 3.5 (3.9 to 11.3), hemoglobin was 12.5, hematocrit 37.6, _____ of 77 (80 to 102). 


The blank sounds like LEV-IN AND CBU of 77.


??? any thoughts on what lab value this could be based on the normal range of 80 to 102?  thanks.

PG or p.g. for medication dosage?
Subject: PG or p.g. for medication dosage?

I have a doctor who is dictating every oral medication with a PG in it, e.g. Zantac 150 mg "PG" q.8 h.  I have never heard of PG or p.g.  The patient does have a G-tube, so the only meaning I can think of is "per G-tube," but again, don't think this is a valid term.

Fosamax dosage-sent to QA
Subject: Fosamax dosage-sent to QA

I sent a note to my supervisor about the doc saying Fosamax 70 mg daily, not weekly, after  I sent it to QA and the QA person left it daily.  


THIS IS FROM MY SUPERVISOR:


I listened to the report and I heard daily--not weekly. It also can be given in a 70 mg dosage.


So, it did me no good to send it to QA or to my supervisor.  I found it weekly, but not daily.  I asked her to send me where she found it 70 mg daily, because when I do a search, nothing comes up for me.  If I am wrong, I am sorry for blowing off steam, but if I am right-- YEA ME!!!
