In fact, over the past 3 decades, some healthcare workers have been making up abbreviations. Until recently, the use of abbreviations has never been regulated, and there is no universal rule as to which abbreviations can be used and which ones cannot. One area where medical abbreviations are used most often and are a cause for concern is when writing drug orders. Medical abbreviations are used in all medical and surgical departments, during surgery, the emergency room, and at discharge. While initially, the abbreviations were limited to the writing of prescriptions, today, abbreviations have become very common in all aspects of medical documentation. Since the development of mainstream medicine nearly 200 years ago, abbreviations have been used. Use of medical abbreviations in medicine is not new.
