The places I work at make it real clear. If the doctor states Synthroid 100 mg and you type it and leave it that way, that is a patient care error which is the highest number of points I've ever seen taken off. We have to have 98% or above accuracy and if you mess up and drop below that, you either get correction action (at one place) or get 5% of your pay reduced (at current place). Now I agree with you that it shouldn't be that way. My sister-in-law is a nurse and is appalled that we have to do that since we are not in the chain of responsibility regarding medication distribution. Unfortunately, at least where I've worked, we are responsible for knowing all meds and proper dosages which is why my former employer gives Quick Look to all its employees.

... the consensus, across the board, has always been to use KCl unless specifically told by the dictator in some way that the other was intended (which, so far, has never happened in my experience).
On the other hand, lots of our dictators routinely say s/l "cipro" and we always give them Cipro as a result, but I suspect that many of them intend ciprofloxacin and are just doing their lazy thang....
So go figure.

I use all the methods the other poster suggested. I also begin thinking to myself "what could he/she be saying" here that would fit in with the context? Can I actually hear anything that is pertinent? Think in terms of what is being done to the patient, would they have a reason to be using a particular med, technique, test, whatever. You sometimes just cannot make sense out of garbage no matter what methods you use and even QA will give them big, fat blanks.

but it depends on if your account is strict "type what they say" and abbreviations like this are okay. I'm not in my office so I can't check BOS, but I'd bet the BOS says write it out unless you have strict rules about typing what is dictated.

Excerpt from Bee and Hymenoptera Stings
Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: ant stings, wasp stings, vespid stings, bee envenomations, Hymenoptera envenomations, ant envenomations, wasp envenomations, vespid envenomations
Background: Hymenoptera stings account for more deaths in the United States than any other envenomation. Order Hymenoptera includes Apis species, ie, bees (European, African), vespids (wasps, yellow jackets, hornets), and ants. Although most deaths result from immunologic mechanisms, some are from direct toxicity. Severe anaphylactoid reactions occur occasionally when toxins directly stimulate mast cells. While the vast majority of stings cause only minor problems, stings cause a significant number of deaths. |

Hi!
I would probably make just a minor adjustment as I think he's talking about edema in both ankles:
EXTREMITIES: There is edema of the right ankle at the site of fracture times two, trace to 1+ on the left. Significantly diminished pulses, equal 0-1 DP and PT lower extremities bilaterally. Normal upper.
As for the rest....looks okay to me...not sure about the "equal" part - sorry! Good job!
Hope this helps some...

Conus medullaris and the cauda equina are within the normal limits. Intervertebral disk at L4-5 has mildly diminished signal, indicating desiccation at its interspace.
FINDINGS: There is a mild bulge centrally with facet osteoarthropathy but no significant canal stenosis.
**I'm not 100% without actually hearing the dictation that interspace and facet osteoarthropathy are definite, but with years of rad experience that's the best guess I can make for ya, both would be acceptable in that context as you have listed it. But I at least FINALLY figured out blank #1 (bulge..not bone)!! Yipee! LOL Hope this helps ya!
