If you have a patient that has been admitted by a hospitalist, on day 1 you would count any testing or interpretations that are performed. Lets say on day 3 patient is seen by different hospitalist (first face to face visit for this hospitalist) and this one pulls all the testing and interpretations that were performed on that day 1 over to his/her note. Would you count them again since this Hospitalist has not seen the patient before? I am thinking no, you should only count them on the day that they are ordered or interpreted. I would not count any testing/interpretations that had been previously performed or documented from the first hospitalist documentation. My rationale is same specialty so you would only count it once. Thoughts?
