RAC Focus: Coding & Documentation of Obs v 1Day Stay
In this course, a dialog begins between coder and clinician. In order to glean all pertinent information from the medical record, coders often need clinical insight. Knowledge of when to query the physician can aid in correctly coding the patient's visit. One major area of concern is the patient status, whether observation status or inpatient status.
