However, at the same time, I have to wonder... besides not having to write out all of those really long, hard to spell medical words, What are all of the other benefits to using abbreviations, and more so, What are the limitations of using medical abbreviations?? Does anybody out there really know the answer to these questions? Asked by Jamie R - Wed Mar 5 02:22:02 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. The benefits are the saving of time when recording data or information. However, many physicians (and even some nurses) have handwriting that is difficult to read, and abbreviations can result in misinterpretation of what was intended.

"MS" can mean "morphine sulfate," "multiple sclerosis," or even "magnesium sulfate." Because of the confusion, the current standards for writing of orders in hospitals no longer permit the use of most of the formerly used abbreviations. The purpose is to reduce errors. Fewer errors means better medical care. Answered by rkeech - Wed Mar 5 02:34:07 2008 What are the different abbreviations used by different manufacturers for CRDI? Q.
