CHA2DS2 VASc - Super

Posted: Nov 06, 2012

We have a physician that dictates this "His chads vasc 2 score is 2.2% a year." Our system cannot take superscript, would you recommend we "correct" this to the correct term, i.e. CHA2DS2 VASc? I cannot find anything on web searches for CHADS VASC2 scores.

I would type it the way you have it - CHA2DS2 VASc. Will see what others say, but I think that would be the proper way to type it.

Even though it goes against what I would prefer to transcribe, I think I would give the MD what they dictated: CHADS VASc 2 (or maybe VASc2) score. I'll be interested to see what others think.
