OB/GYN Typing Practice

Choosing Obstetrics and Gynecology in the Specialty menu mixes an OB/GYN vocabulary pack into the general medical stream. The pack follows a pregnancy from the first prenatal visit through labor, delivery and postpartum care, then covers the gynecology clinic, procedures and ultrasound reads.

What OB/GYN notes are made of

Typing in obstetrics is dominated by short status lines that get retyped all day. A prenatal visit opens with gravidity and parity (G3P1011) and gestational age in weeks and days (24w2d), followed by fetal movement, fundal height, fetal heart tones and the plan for that week of pregnancy. On labor and delivery, the cervical exam (5/90/-1), the oxytocin rate and the fetal heart rate description (baseline, variability, accelerations, decelerations, category) are written every few hours.

Delivery and cesarean notes follow a fixed order from the baby's position and the cord to the placenta, lacerations and quantitative blood loss. Gynecology visits lean on bleeding patterns, contraception counseling, Pap and HPV results and ultrasound findings, and operative notes for hysterectomy, laparoscopy and hysteroscopy reuse a small set of landmarks such as the ureters, uterine arteries and vaginal cuff.

What the OB/GYN pack adds

The pack has 996 new items and emphasizes about 240 general items, including the prenatal and postpartum lines the general corpus already had. The roughly 500 new note lines concentrate on what was missing: intrapartum tracing language, cesarean and laparoscopic op note steps, obstetric emergencies, early pregnancy, the GYN clinic, colposcopy and IVF basics:

• 32-year-old gravida 3 para 1011 at 24 weeks and 2 days presenting for routine prenatal care
• Cervix 5 cm dilated, 90% effaced, minus 1 station, membranes intact
• Category I tracing, baseline 135, moderate variability, accelerations present, no decelerations
• Oxytocin increased by 2 milliunits/min every 30 minutes per protocol
• Postpartum hemorrhage with quantitative blood loss 1200 mL from uterine atony
• LEEP performed with a 20 by 8 mm loop, single pass, ball cautery to the base

With Abbreviations on, the cervical exam line becomes SVE 5/90/-1, membranes intact; the tracing line becomes Cat I, baseline 135, mod var, +accels, -decels. About 115 read lines cover OB and pelvic ultrasound, O-RADS, cervical cytology and surgical pathology. Dosing strings cover about 95 drugs: induction agents, uterotonics, magnesium, antihypertensives, GBS and cesarean prophylaxis, STI regimens, contraception, menopause and fertility drugs.

How to practice

For a labor floor session, turn on Note Phrases, Radiology & Path Findings, Symptoms & Signs and Physiology & Labs, keep Abbreviations on and use Cascade. Status lines like 5/90/-1 and G4P2022 are mostly digits and slashes, so if your accuracy drops below about 95 percent, switch to Block, which stops at each error, until it recovers. For the prenatal and postpartum clinic, add Diseases and both drug chips, set the dosing slider near 25 and turn Abbreviations off to practice the spelled-out forms.

For GYN surgery and ultrasound reads, pair Procedures, Anatomy and Radiology & Path Findings with Note Phrases and set Term frequency to Even, so less common findings come up as often as routine ones. Sessions of five to ten minutes on most days work better than an occasional long one, and the per-key heatmap shows which keys are slowing you down. No account is needed.
