Patient Status Pocket Cards for Physicians

Kimberly Anderwood Hoy Baker, JD, CPC

This pocket card will help physicians determine the appropriateness of patient status based on expected length of stay through a series of guidelines and a decision tree chart based on Medicare regulations. Healthcare professionals can carry the laminated card in a lab coat pocket and refer to it when determining whether a patient should be admitted as inpatient, be placed in observation, or receive outpatient services.
