surgery consult question - jtrans


Posted: May 15, 2011

The patient is having a knee replacement done.  In the past history section, the doctor dictates as problem number one what sounds like, "parody is 10 073."  Any ideas?  Thanks!

not sure on parody is but could 10 073 be a date? - jmn

I would type 10-0-7-3. The patient has been pregnant 10 times, with 0 live births, 7 abortions, 3 miscarriages. When just numbers are dictated, I use hyphens. When words and numbers are dictated, I use commas. I do not type the words if they are not dictated.

The BOS has an explanation of the GPA system and the TPAL system and says sometimes the doctors combine them. This time the doctor is using the GPA system. I don't think the TPAL applies here, but you should know about it for future reference.

GPA - gravida, para, abortus.
TPAL - term infants, premature infants, abortions, living children.

thanks - jtrans

Thanks for your help. Actually my boss just gave me the same info. I've been typing for almost 10 years and have never heard that term used before. Learn something new every day!
