Are there any good sources/tools to use for auditing the E&M for Critical Care Hospitalist? We are having questions on whether the physician needs to do another H&P on the patient when he/she is covering for another physician or serving as a (evaluation of ventilatory and hemodynamic status) consultant. He seems to accept care by changing and writing orders and states he will follow with the other physician (working as a team with the other physcian). We are not sure if the documentation guidelines are the same as with a primary care physicians E&M visit.
The critical care physician is a solo practictioner, internal med and pulmonary specialist.
Any help with this would be helpful.
Thanks!
