Patient being treated by ENT consultant and was admitted for Nasal severe epistaxis and COPD.
COPD important because pt is oxygen dependent and has nasal cannula 24/7 at home and while IP.
Pt also has long term use of baby aspirin.
How many points under Number of Diagnoses/Management Options would this be counted as?
(aspirin use can contribute to nasal bleed)
(oxygen tubing is inserted and stays through nose for continuous oxygen support)
Thank you

Is the ENT managing the COPD or is the Hospitalist or pulmonologist doing that. It really depends on what this provider is managing and or letting me know he is thinking about by his documentation. If he is just saying, “by the way, this guy has COPD and on home oxygen” then maybe not. I’d have to see the note.
