True Blue
Patient has Hemoptysis, pneumonia, confusion, tongue cancer with radiation 2 days ago.
ENT evaluated need for surgical intubation this morning. Upon exam the patient is stable and able to maintain his own airway. Tongue is bloody and looks blown out. Would this be High MDM under Number and complexity of problem addressed? (1 chronic illness--tongue cancer with severe exacerbation or progression or side effects of treatment--radiation.) Patient is going to be admitted but so far I'm looking for 2021 MDM guidelines to figure out if this is moderate or high level decision-making?
Would this be High Risk for sending patient to the hospital? (Decision for hospitalization)
