Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I transcribe for a doctor and he is not very clear on the titles for Mrs. Ms. Miss. He does not use them regularly, I don't think anyway. There have been times where I know that he just says Ms. (in fact, he mostly uses that)But then when I do another report on the same person he will say Mrs. How do I know without any charts. Should I just use Ms.

Maybe that only applies to certain types of records. In the past, before we stopped using the patient names, I always put Ms. if I could not prove the patient was married.

But in clinic and office reports, the names are used frequently. If the doctor dictates discrepancies between Mrs. and Miss or Ms., I just use Ms., because, as you say, I have no way of knowing which is correct. Kathy
