Adverse Events and Effects: Coding Insights for Your Team
Join us for an interactive webinar with endorsed partner, PARA Healthcare Analytics and CorroHealth.
Wednesday, September 28 | 10:00-11:00 am | Zoom
When confronted with determining a true adverse event or complication vs an expected occurrence, coders face challenging situations as the lines of correct coding defining these events can become blurred. This presentation will explore correct coding for adverse events and effects including hospital acquired conditions, complications or care, underdosing/overdosing and poisonings.
Exploration of common coding errors and challenges will be reviewed including but not limited to:
- Post Op Anemia
- Acute Blood Loss Anemia
- Post Op Respiratory Failure
- Post Op Ileus
- Acute Renal Failure
- Post Op Atelectasis
- Hospital injuries (falls, line placement, IV complications)
- Adverse Drug events
- Underdosing/Overdosing/Poisoning
- Dural or serosal tears
Learning Objectives:
- Strengthen understanding of correct coding for hospital acquired conditions, complications or care, underdosing/overdosing, and poisonings
- Understand what designates a true postprocedural complication
- Gain knowledge to evaluate on a case-by-case basis what constitutes a true complication or adverse event vs an expected occurrence
