When I do medication reconciliation, AC prints out the med list for the patient to review. Invariably I am asked about our antique abbreviations, "what does q mean, bid, tid, hs?" So it really makes sense for the "royal we" to forget how we used to hand write Rx'es and use quick abbreviations and put them into plain English since the pharmacy will change it anyway. I wonder if I'd have to double-click on pharmacy refill requests to match the med if we both spoke English?
