OB/GYN help needed.... - LE


Posted: Dec 12, 2009

This patient is in for cold symptoms. 

First assessment listed is:  Pregnancy via in vitro fertilization -

doc goes on to dictate what s/l

Patient is D G 2 P-0-0-1-0

Not familiar with the way this is done and not sure if I'm typing that correctly, can anyone help?  Thanks!

He probably is saying G2, P0-0-1-0.

shorthand for womans obstetrical history. you can do a search for gravida and para and it will tell you what is what. Some companies type it different ways. My company wants it typed g2, p0-0-1-0 instead of G2, P0-0-1-0.

Thank you for you help - sm - LE

I normally do ortho, so I was thrown a bit with this.

He's definitely saying D G - but he's stuttering a little bit with saying it, so it could be he didn't mean the "D" and sounds like he stuttered with correcting himself.

Anyway, I'm going to be on the safe side and QA that much of it.

Thanks again.

However, being less than a Newbie I feel I need support and have been told mentoring is a standard practice in the medical transcription profession.
