(For a very informative explanation, with many interactive examples, see Amit Patels wonderful guide Hexagon Grids .) We will work with an axial coordinate system , which is illustrated in the figure below
If you only code the hip fracture and the fall, you're missing critical information about why the fall occurred, which affects: Fall risk assessment Discharge planning Prevention strategies Future coding if the patient returns Financial Impact of Complete Coding Let's look at DRG assignment for the same patient with different coding: Incomplete coding (injury only): S72.001A (Hip fracture) W19.XXXA (Fall) DRG: MS-DRG 535-536 (Fractures of hip and pelvis with/without MCC) Complete coding (injury + cause): S72.001A (Hip fracture) principal R55 (Syncope) secondary I95.1 (Orthostatic hypotension) secondary, if documented W19.XXXA (Fall) Other comorbidities (CHF, COPD, etc.) DRG: Same MS-DRG 535-536, but now with proper documentation of why the fall occurred, which: Supports medical necessity for the admission Documents fall prevention needs Justifies additional monitoring Captures all conditions affecting the patient The DRG may not change, but the completeness of the record and the supportability of the admission absolutely does change
Most drugs demonstrated maximum luciferase expression at concentrations between 1 M and 10 M
I didn't give a fuck who the mayor was
Membranes were rinsed with PBS with 0.1% Tween-20 and incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies including either IRDye 800CW Donkey anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibody at 1:5000 dilution (Licor, 926-32212) or IRDye 680RD Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG secondary antibody at 1:5000 dilution (Licor, 926-68073)
