CA pattern? - dawn


Posted: Jan 06, 2010

in the assessment:

 

He has atrophy in his right hand in an ulnar nerve or CA pattern.

 

I have tried finding what this CA would mean and am unable to, it's in the assessment, could I leave it abbreviated?

This would be cerebral atrophy pattern. Most account specifics I have seen state that you can either leave it abbreviated if you are not 100% certain what it is or leave a blank and send to QA if you are over your allowed blank designations, but this depends on what your account specifics say. If your AS states you are to expand abbreviations in the assessment and nothing else, then you should leave a blank.

thank you! - dawn

A VR Pattern I've Noticed: (s/m)

While wondering why VR doesn't seem to be getting any better, I've started noticing a pattern while I work that might have at least something to do with it: I have several accounts, and switch around all day.  Usually there are a lot of corrections per line with my company's VR system.  I wonder why it makes the same dumb mistakes over and over again. However, I've begun to notice that if I've been sent a lot of VR-editing work by the same doctor, a ...
