Synopsis:
Listed in the book are 24,000 meanings of acronyms, symbols and other healthcare field-related abbreviations. There is a chapter and tables which lists and discusses dangerous, contradictory, and ambiguous abbreviations. Also present is a cross-referenced list of 3,400 generic and brand drug names. When you are new on the job, all abbreviations are a mystery. When you are experienced, you must deal with new, highly specialized, obscure, and regional abbreviations whose meanings are unknown to you. This book and its companion web-version, and the PDA edition are your best chance to decode these mysteries. Internet Access Each book purchase price includes, at no extra cost, a single-user access license for the web-version of the book which is updated with about 100 new entries per month. This license is valid for 24 months from the date of the initial log-in. Abbreviation searches are instantaneous as well as reverse searches (e.g. look for all abbreviations containing the word, cardiac). PDA Edition Palm OS and Pocket PC versions are available. Inquire about pricing. What Users are Saying- The book has made a world of difference in my ability to perform my job as a medical coder. The chapter and tables on Dangerous, Contradictory, and Ambiguous Abbreviations is worth the price of the book. Your book is the best one I have found. The book should be titled, "All you ever wanted to know about medical abbreviations." I have used your book since its first edition in 1983 and have sworn by it ever since. Thanks again for your wonderful work. You make me look smarter than I really am. There has not been an abbreviation that we could not locate in this book
