Port-A-Cath - Crystal


Posted: Jan 12, 2012

Okay, so I am used to using Port-A-Cath, but how do you all type it.  I have seen in many different ways (portacath, port-A-cath, etc.)?

Stedman's - Weary MT

[ In Reply To ..]
My Stedman's says Port-a-Cath. I used that until ASR came along, which (on my accounts) types Port-A-Cath, and I don't edit it out (have enough to do in ASR). Have never gotten dinged for it.

I type it same as you - Port-A-Cath

I was instructed by both an internist and nephrologist that this is how they wanted it done. No one else has ever corrected it, so this is the way I will always type it.
