On a late clinic ortho follow-up, ASR flipped “LCL” to “ACL,” and that recent CE micro-session on high-risk abbreviation confusions made me stop, re-listen, and verify against the prior op note before signing off. Who else has seen this, and what CE courses have sharpened your ear for these near-miss swaps?
That CE nudged me to add a 20‑sec ‘danger pair’ check for LCL/ACL right before sign-off and a quick peek at the prior op note — ASR still thinks ligaments are interchangeable. Anyone using ASR custom vocab to dampen these swaps, or is the manual pause‑and‑verify still your go‑to?
Same here — the micro-session pushed me to add a tiny Word macro that auto-highlights LCL/ACL in yellow whenever ASR spits either, so I do a 10‑sec rewind and cross-check the prior op note before signing off. It’s already caught two late clinic follow-ups where “collateral” was mushy and ASR defaulted to ACL . Free to set up and it forces that pause to verify every time.
