Medical Shorthand
Medical shorthand (shorthand: a way of talking and writing quickly) is a shorthand used by medical professionals (people who work to help sick people) to hurry explanation of diseases (sickness), patients, or medicines (drugs).
This shorthand can include shortening of longer disease names, by cutting the word down to it’s base. Medical professionals also create words that mean something. An example of this is “stat”, used to indicate that something needs to be hurried. It is from the Latin “base word” statim, meaning quick. A very commonly used shorthand is shortening things on order forms for patients. An example is, pre-op meaning pre-operation. These can be very complicated and extensive.
Despite the fact that this shorthand might make it difficult for new Interns or recently trained Nurses to get used to this unofficial language, it has been shown to improve the speed of treatment in hospitals.
