Burn coding

[Stana]

When coding burns when do you code the total body surface area. Is coded every time you have an area that is burned or does it need to be dictated.

Thanks

Stana,

Burn coding is thoroughly discussed by Laureen in the September 2012 Q&A Webinar Excerpts on YouTube. The burn coding discussion starts at just pass 18 minutes into the video.

I liked that video and took notes in my book, and used them for the test! It helped determine which 2 to throw out. Just a big THANKS to Laureen.
