Inpatient guidelines

With all the new changes to the outpatient and observation codes I'm getting confused with the initial inpatient consults, and the subsequent inpatient care if time is not documented.
Do I still count points for complexity for initial?
I know they did away with the old Medicare audit sheet and I'm confused how to code the initial and subsequent for inpatient.
Is it a medically appropriate history and examination then counting points?
Thanks for any help.
