I'm just in school for Med Trans. I love this website. I'm always confused when it comes to listing labs. I need help on the above. Thank you so much.


Plan help please!
Subject: Plan help please!

  I am a new, and need some help.  after the doctor says plan he lists the medications he has prescribed.  He does not number them and I am used to them saying medications and then listing (1, 2, 3)   Do they usual do that?  Should I leave it like he says it?  Example: 


PLAN:


Ecotrin 1 p.o. b.i.d. with meals.  Keflex 500 mg p.o. q.i.d. for 4 days..  Follow-upl with me within the next 10 days.


 


thanks!

That all depends on the QA person reviewing the report.

I have been told both are correct and both are wrong, other than if there is only one item (in which case you never number).

I have been audited and smacked down (points) for NOT numbering when the dictator did not number on meds and on diagnoses, etc., even on a verbatim account. I would love if someone could explain why. The client profile for the account says "do not number" if the dictator does not number.
