LAVH-BSO on final diagnoses - Happy MT
Posted: Jan 22, 2011
I am doing a DS. I can't believe this has never come up before (or I've forgotten!) -
When typing LAVH-BSO on the diagnoses, can I use LAVH-BSO or do I need to spell it all out? I would think LAVH-BSO would be more readable, but I know the rule is to spell it out. I'm trying to be practical here, but it may come back to haunt me.
Thanks
LAVH-BSO - Frustrated
[ In Reply To ..]If they want diagnosis expanded, expand it. If you don't have it in your expanders, you can put it there and use it. You can always put the abbrebiation in parens after. Take advantage of expanding, it is money in your pocket. Like laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (LAVH-BSO).

I'm having a problem with this part of the diagnosis as she doesn't specify to go on to the next number, as she does with the rest of them, but I've never had someone that adds the procedures used to fix the diagnoses in this section. This is the sentence as she says it, "1. Coronary artery disease, status post 3-vessel CABG in ___ vertebrobasilar insufficiency." The she says "number next" and goes on to the next one. Because the previous word(s) are blanked out, and b ...

Why the constant slang and abbreviations in diagnoses and impressions? Especially when it could mean more than one thing ( for example I and D) and it cannot be gleaned from the record. Are these clinicians lazy or what. I think there should be stricter guidelines for those dictating, rather than placing the call on the MT. I know I am preaching to the choir so to speak, but it is really getting on my nerves... ...
