now "always"...before I offend someone else who has been told to type it with roman numerals. Been doing this too long and have seen too many facilities/radiologists set their own rules on how they want it typed and it basically boils down to the fact that it's their report..they call the shots.

I think it is account specific. Many docs and hospitals still prefer the roman numerals, and I think it looks better too, IMO.

roman versus arabic

Does anyone have a good reference or way to remember when to use arabic versus roman numerals? Specifically for class, stage, grade - cardiac, oncology, podiatry?
roman versus arabic
Subject: roman versus arabic
A good tip that I rcvd either here or on MTNetizens email group.....
In oncology at least:
Staging is in Roman numerals, and remember by reciting "The Romans are on the stage"....
Hence stage III breast cancer, etcetera...
Class, grade, etc, are with Arabic numerals...
I cannot speak, though, for other specialties..
Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
Subject: Use arabic numerals for all numbers.
The current standard in transcription is to use arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...)for all numbers, even under the number 10, because they stand out on the page and are less likely to be overlooked or misinterpreted.

Garden is capped per my ortho book.
From googling I suspect it should be Garden type IV fracture. There are hits where it is referred to as grade, but the ones that call it a type look more authentic to me. More research might be in order.
numbers - type out versus arabic
Question: What is the rule of thumb: In a report I know it is in medication and measurements like 5 mg and 5 inches. But what about in dictation? 5 weeks or five weeks, 5 children or five children. I know BOS changed their policy on using more arabic numbers instead of typing out. Can someone advise what is the preferred way? Does it apply something to things or objects versus units of time like 5 weeks or 5 days? Thank you.
