SUMMARY
This workshop is a deep dive into the heart’s anatomy and physiology, function, and the associated disease processes. Attendees will get a better understanding of the form and function of the heart through visual imagery explanation of the process the heart performs within each cardiac structure.
The attendee will also get detailed explanation and visuals related to cardiac conditions and disease processes. The ICD-10-CM guidelines related to hypertension, heart failure and other major conditions will be discussed.
Learning Objectives/Agenda (please provide a minimum of 5 items that will be covered):
1. To identify the discrete structures of the heart and their specific function
2. To understand the process of the circulation system
3. To get an understanding of the interactions of the heart with other organ systems
4. To get an in-depth understanding of major heart conditions
5. To get an understanding of the key ICD-10-CM guidelines relating to the heart
Why is this topic timely/important?
Cardiology is the one subject that causes the most difficulty in CPC coursework, exam taking and coding in general. Coders have a tendency to need more assistance, education and skill training in this topic.
Who would benefit from this topic?
The coder that struggles with cardiology coding or understanding the cardiology related topics. Coders that wish to pursue roles in cardiology would benefit
