MedAbbrev, now by innoviHealth, has been the industry standard for medical abbreviations and acronyms since 1983. Quick and easy access for hospitals, providers, coders, transcriptionists, students and researchers to over 75,000 entries. With clear and accurate standardization that is always current, medical professionals can reduce the chance of error stemming from misunderstood abbreviations.
Correction: A chart in the Jan. 11, 2010 issue of Part B News listing the proposed meaningful use requirements for physicians was incomplete. There are a total of 25 meaningful use requirements, including a measure that eligible professionals (EPs) must "generate lists of patients by specific conditions to use for quality improvement, reduction of disparities and outreach." Providers could meet this measure by "generating at least one report listing patients of the EP with a specific condition." An updated, correct version of this chart appears in the online version of the article, available at www.partbnews.com.
