COVID-19: The Pandemic and Beyond

Erica Remer, MD, CCDS
Erica Remer, MD, Inc
President

Clinical medicine and life as we knew it changed drastically in 2020. Our CDI programs had to pivot quickly and ensure that we were addressing the COVID-19 pandemic as it developed at lightning speed. With the worst behind us, we need to learn from our experience. This session will reflect on COVID-19 and will consider best practices for a post-pandemic world and any future public health emergencies.

10:00am - 11:00am
Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Patrick Chen, DO
Board-Certified Gastroenterologist
Ohio Gastroenterology Group

Join Dr. Patrick Chen, a Board-Certified Gastroenterologist for an overview of gastrointestinal bleeding.  He’ll discuss the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of gastrointestinal bleeding.


11:00am - 12:00pm  
Solving the Mystery of Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage Coding

Dianna Foley, RHIA, CHPS, CCS, CDIP
Coding Education Coordinator
OHIMA

Does your blood run cold when thinking of coding conditions related to gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding?  Do you ooze with anxiety when presented with a procedure to control GI bleeding?  Join OHIMA’s Coding Education Coordinator, Dianna Foley, as she clues you into the differences between melena, hematemesis, and rectal bleeding, for starters. Along the way, she’ll incorporate a discussion regarding anemia as it relates to GI bleeding, and spurting ahead, she’ll unravel some of the procedures utilized to staunch GI bleeds. Once the evidence has been presented, GI hemorrhage coding will be a mystery no more.


12:00pm - 1:00pm
Lunch Break 

In-person attendees will be provided lunch. 

1:00pm - 2:00pm
Injections, Infusions...is there still Confusion?

Lisa Knowles, RHIT, CCS
Sutter Health
Senior Director, Client Solutions

This presentation will cover everyone's favorite - Injections and Infusions!  While there are many 'cheat sheets', toolkit's, handwritten or typed notes for injections and infusions, we're going back to the source.  With pertinent points taken from the source reference documents, CPT book, CPT Assistant, and ICD-10-CM Coding Clinic for HCPCS.   Prepare for an hour that includes presentation, interactive dialogue, questions, and other injection and infusion dis-confusion.


2:00pm - 3:00pm
New Technology

Chandra Fenton, RHIA
Premier Health
IP Coding Supervisor

When ICD-10 was established in the U.S., it allowed a way to expand diagnosis and procedure codes as New Technology was created in the ever-changing/improving healthcare world we live in these days.  ICD-10-PCS has Section X- New Technology section where new procedures can be created for more detailed reporting for the care of patients.  We will discuss some of the new technology created and why it is important to report these when coding. 

3:00pm - 4:00pm
2022 ICD-10-CM/PCS Updates

Dianna Foley, RHIA, CHPS, CCS, CDIP
Coding Education Coordinator
OHIMA

Once again, it is that time of year, when coding professionals turn their attention towards the new ICD-10-CM/PCS codes that will be going into effect on October 1, 2021.  OHIMA’s Coding Education Coordinator will review guideline, note, and code changes found in the 2022 diagnosis and procedure updates.  Descriptions and illustrations will be employed to provide detail to enhance comprehension of the new codes.
