Hello all,
Need help in deciding whether this has 4 elements or less. I feel there are four, however, a recent prospective auditor felt that there were not four. How many do you get?
Chief Complaint: Longstanding history of morbid obesity.
HPI: The patient is seen today due to a longstanding history of morbid obesity. He has tried various attempts at weight loss including Weight Watchers, Atkins Diet, Jenny Craig, etc. without success. His comorbities include obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and arthritis of knees and feet.
This is what I get....
Duration: Longstanding history
Quality: Morbid
Signs/symptoms: Sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, and arthritis.
Modify factors: Various attempts at weight loss.
Location: Can obesity be used as a location????
Thanks in advance for your help.
