I am new to coding inpatient and I have run across another question. When a patient is treated in the office for an infection and two days later gets admitted because the same infection is now gotten worse would this be counted as a new problem or as an established worsening? And if it is a new problem when the patient is admitted what about the subsequent days would it still be considered a new problem or is it considered established after the first day.
Thanks for any help.
