This week’s ED documentation tip: Document the decision process for diagnostic tests considered but not performed. Kid w/ a head injury, PECARN says no CT? Ottawa rules say no x-ray for that ankle? Data scores the same as ordering the test with your thought process documented.

ED physicians and coders should already be acquainted with the 2023 coding and documentation requirements. Many documentation habits will need to be eliminated or changed for 2023. There is still time to register for next week's webinars. Register Today! ercoder.com/webinar

I am honored to have been asked to chair the Education Workgroup for ACEPs CNAC this year. Our first major task for the year is ready for the members. The FAQ for the 2023 ED E&M Guidelines is available at acep.org/administration…. Feel free to contact me with any questions. TT

ERcoder is hosting virtual training for the 2023 ED E&M Guidelines. ERcoder President Todd Thomas will explain and demonstrate the new MDM grid and how it applies to emergency medicine. Visit ercoder.com/webinar for details.

@nickgenes @AineYoreMD @grahamwalker If you follow @ERcoderTT I will post a notification when the FAQ is posted on the ACEP website.

@nickgenes @AineYoreMD @grahamwalker CNAC approved the 2023 E/M Guidelines FAQ this morning. I have a few final edits to make and then it will be submitted to ACEP to post. We hope to have it posted by Monday 10/10. I am happy to field any questions if there are any.
