Debridement Documentation Tip
I was trying to get something easy for the surgeons to remember to capture all the information required for proper billing for a debridement procedure. I am sure someone else has thought of this already but....
The mnemonic I came up with is: IBILLED
I - instrument
B - beyond wound margin (or not)
I - irrigation
L - location
L - laterality
E - excisional (vs. non-excisional)
D - depth
I hope that helps my surgeons remember - maybe it could help you too.
