MEASUREMENTS! Abbreviate measurements!

http://www.cphtblog.com/2011/05/21/medical-terminology-sig-codes-abbreviations-measurement/

It takes more energy to type out “milliliter” rather than “mL”. Spare your energy! And save keystrokes, too!

Abbreviating makes it simpler for the doctor to read. Measurements and numbers stand off the page for them, making them generally easier to read.

Just because you abbreviate doesn’t mean that you can get sloppy! Make sure your numbers and measurements are accurate – ALWAYS!

NUMBERS… Numbers

http://www.dailywritingtips.com/10-rules-for-writing-numbers-and-numerals/

As a general rule of thumb, write out numbers 0-10 as words (zero through ten). For numbers greater than 11, write them as numbers, not words.

This also helps the numbers stand off the page for the doctors. They need all the help they can get!

For numbers like 1st, 3rd,, etc., be sure to write them as numerals like this. Don’t write ‘first’, ‘third’, etc.
