Pathology medication name abbreviations - Kim


Posted: Jun 27, 2013

About to pull my hair out with these abbreviations ths pathology doctor is giving for the medications.  I have looked in my path book and abbreviation book and it does not list these.  Can anyone please direct me to where I can find a list of abbreviations of the drug names.  I would appreciate it more than I can say.

Are you sure that's what you're hearing? There are not a lot of medications that have abbreviations. Can you give us an idea of what you're hearing?

Sorry, on the antimicrobial reports, I am sent a file with codes and antibiotic abbreviations to insert and/or type into the template. It just takes forever to figure these out, and they want the reports in a super hurry. Some are very confusing and do not even seemingly relate to the name. I did find an antibiotic reference guide at a medical Siemens site has a lot of the abbreviations. Thanks for you help. Appreciate everybody's input.

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... ...
