Answer to Question 1

Challenges include (but are not limited to)
 The general multisystem physical examination guidelines were written by physicians for physicians, so the language of the guidelines can be difficult to understand
 Any nonclinically trained person who is reviewing the general multisystem physical examination guidelines may find the clinical language intimidating or too difficult to understand.
 Fully understanding the general multisystem physical examination guidelines can require additional research and self-education about anatomy and pathology
 Not all physicians document the physical examination with the amount of specificity required by the general multisystem physical examination guidelines, so these guidelines may not be helpful for certain E/M documentation

Answer to Question 2

Benefits include (but are not limited to):
 Greater anatomic specificity
 Increased likelihood of identifying specific abnormal findings
 More thorough documentation of the physical examination, which can lead to improved coordination of care in future E/M visits
 Clearer identification of what was examined during the physical examination, especially the specific elements of the organ system or body area
 Definitive correlation between the documented findings of the physical examination and the nature of the presenting problem.
 Reviewing the general multisystem physical examination guidelines can greatly improve understanding of the physical examination that was actually performed by the physician
 The general multisystem physical examination guidelines are a very useful reference tool for medical coders, regardless of the field in which the medical coder works, because of the anatomic specificity of the guidelines
 The general multisystem physical examination guidelines are a valuable reference when learning about human anatomy and pathology

Did you know?

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.

Did you know?

Vaccines cause herd immunity. If the majority of people in a community have been vaccinated against a disease, an unvaccinated person is less likely to get the disease since others are less likely to become sick from it and spread the disease.

Did you know?

The first monoclonal antibodies were made exclusively from mouse cells. Some are now fully human, which means they are likely to be safer and may be more effective than older monoclonal antibodies.

Did you know?

Less than one of every three adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control. Only 48.1% with the condition are being treated for it.

Did you know?

Atropine, along with scopolamine and hyoscyamine, is found in the Datura stramonium plant, which gives hallucinogenic effects and is also known as locoweed.
