I e-mailed AAMT with this same question about a month ago.  Their response to me was as follows:

"He may be dictating "hour of sleep" because he expects you to use the abbreviation h.s. However, this particular abbreviation is on the Dangerous Abbreviations List, and we are encouraged to transcribe this as either "nightly" or "at bedtime." If the dictator questions you about this, you can show him the appendix in your Book of Style or refer him to the Dangerous Abbreviations List under Patient Safety Goals on the JCAHO web site (www.jcaho.org)."

I did give him a sample of _____ (s/l rosarum) 8 mg one right before bedtime, discussed side effects.

TIA 

Will try s/l des-er-row in the evenings to help with headaches and sleep.

Thanks a bunch

Unfortunately, as (s/l):THEY GOT WENT UP in CPAP, all the way up to 13, it was an inappropriate level and they could not get higher.  The patient continuously asked if they could decrease the pressure for comfort.

Anyone?  Thanks!! 

I don't know if it's the way doc is saying it, but he stumps me all the time.

It is a med. and sounds like tragenol

He is prescribing it to help pt sleep.

He is excessively sleepy and has an "EPORT" of 14 points.

I remember having it on a different report as "EPORT" score, but I can't recall how to spell it and I just can't find it. Thank you so much!

In the HEENT section the doctor dictates: Mallampati III. Type I Molderclusion

I have googled the bold and underlined word: Moldercusion and cannot figure it out?

Thanks

It s/l arterill, or arderwheel, or arterwill???  It is for sleep (OTC)

Thanks!!

For her snoring and sleep dysfunction, ICD code 70 0.56, obtain sleep study at ******* Hospital.

My question is about the part in red.  He dictates this clearly but very fast.  Does this look right?  I've never seen this before.

Thanks.

Anyone heard of this drug?

Thanks,

Abby

On newborn:  She continued to have brief episodes of apnea and bradycardia that was thought to be secondary to reflux. A sleep study with _____ (starts with p and ends with o) was obtained that showed severe gastroesophageal reflux.
