1 Do Not Use Abbreviations The Institute for Safe Medication Practice (ISMP) and the Joint Commission (JACHO) have each developed a list of dangerous abbreviations. The list includes abbreviations considered to be dangerous because of the potential for misinterpretation. PPIC recommends that insureds follow the guidelines. An abbreviation on the 'do not use' list should not be used in any of its forms, upper or lower case, with or without periods. For example, if Q.D. is on your list, you can't use QD or qd. Any of those variations are confusing and can be misinterpreted. (JACHO) PPIC recommends that facilities using abbreviations for documentation purposes keep lists of approved and unapproved abbreviations at each documentation area. This compilation of do not use abbreviations, as defined by ISMP and JACHO, is current as of July PPIC encourages you to frequently check ISMP and JACHO websites for updates to the list ( and
