| James S. Kennedy, M.D. will be speaking at this California Health Information Association event.
Dr. Kennedy will give a review of the pathophysiology of ICD-9-CM code, Present-on-Admission, and DRG assignment pertinent to the new MS-DRGs and Medicare POA requirements. Learn how physicians think as they decide whether and how to admit patients to inpatient status, especially important in principal diagnosis assignment. Outline the “MUSIC” in how ICD-9-CM classifies conditions and circumstances. Cover the basics on how to read a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic profile (CMP), urine studies, brain-naturetic peptide (BNP), microbiology, immunology, and other important laboratory studies. Learn about EKGs and X-rays too! If you make the play, your physician queries for clinical significance will be empowered!
