Coding lacks specificity (e.g., continent, incontinent) impacting reimbursement and data accuracy. CDI crucial for clarification.
Post-op complications (e.g., stenosis, infection) may be missed, understating severity for accurate MS-DRG assignment.
Missing or incorrect laterality (left, right, bilateral) can affect coding accuracy and statistical reporting.
Patient presents for urostomy management and follow-up. The patient's urostomy, created on [Date], is currently functioning with [Character of output - e.g., clear, yellow urine output]. The stoma appears [Description of stoma - e.g., healthy, pink, moist, without signs of irritation, necrosis, or infection]. Peristomal skin is [Description of peristomal skin - e.g., intact, without excoriation, rash, or erythema].
