We have a new EHR and in-order to make everything go smoothly the progress note must have actual ICD-9 codes in the documentation, in the EHR.
I review notes, and provide education feedback to the doc's. However, I'm not sure how to proceed with this since I've never come across it before. The assessment and Plan in the providers note(s) has ICD-9 codes as their assessment and plan. So, their note will have HPI, ROS, Exam than ICD-9 codes for the assessment and plan.
This is their decision making process and they have determined the patient has the problem. However, I am used to reading an assessment and plan to determine the level of service and the diagnosis of the patient.
Is it appropriate to have a progress note which only has ICD-9 codes as the assessment and plan?
Any feedback will be helpful.
