Is this supposed to be left as MRSA in the assessment? - anon
Posted: May 08, 2010
Is this supposed to be left as MRSA in the assessment?? The client profile says nothing about it? I thought we had no abbeviations in the assessment unless the client profile stated that. ??
I always expand it. Common lab tests I've heard... - Through the grapevine
[ In Reply To ..]...aren't supposed to be expanded like CK or TSH, but MRSA is not a lab test.
Expanding MRSA - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Did you get corrected for expanding it? It's like any other disease entity and gets expanded in areas of report as instructed. If QA corrected you on that, I would question it.
Some clients prefer the real long disease names not to be expanded over and over in the sections where you normally expand, but unless you've heard otherwise, expand it out where instructed.
I leave it as MRSA, not expanded - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]My reasoning behind this is that, to another physician skimming through the report, MRSA stands out much better and is much more noticeable than "methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus."
I also do the same thing with HIV or AIDS, because these two in their short forms are much more readily recognizable in their shortened vs expanded forms.
I Don't Disagree, but... - Way Old MT
[ In Reply To ..]I don't disagree with your reasoning. In fact, I think in the cases you cited, you are 100% correct. However, we need to do as instructed.

I am beyond frustrated. Is there anyone out there that has taken the assessment testing that is supposed to be completed by 02/14?

Personality Assessment Test

Hello, Smart People- Has anyone ever been asked to take a personality assessment when you're in the running for a job position? I applied for a patient sitter position at a local hospital and they said I was in the running and would I please take an assessment. It was a personality assessment (I could just tell), but I don't think it was the MMPI--the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index. There weren't enough questions for that one. FYI: The job description for which I'm ...

How Are We Supposed To Know What Someone Else Does?

Period. It's after I've done my research. How can I predict if someone else's ears can hear it? Maybe, maybe not? I think they're just asking us to be superhuman. The bottom line is that with all these restrictions, I'm d ...
