I have a question about the ROS and "double dipping". My doc has dictated an H&P and in the HPI section has listed the problem as chest pain with associated sign and sypytom being shortness of breath. These are the only elements that could be construed as possible ROS elements.
In the ROS she has listed out her elements but when it comes to the cardiovasular and the respiratory she states "see HPI".
I have already counted the elements in the HPI for the HPI, am I thinking correctly that I cannot count these in the ROS section also? If this cannot be counted for both areas, does anyone have documentation to back this? I have searched and do not find anything addressing this straight on.
Thanks for any insight you can give
