IP DRG 3M PCS Workshop

Explore laparoscopic appendectomy decision making, including when to opt for open approaches, verify documentation to deselect non-laparoscopic options, and ensure correct appendix removal according to described procedures.

Understand how colonoscopy is performed and how the inspection of the lower intestinal tract differs from the upper intestinal tract using the same scope, including polyp detection and excision.

Master ORIF documentation by reviewing operative documents, identifying internal fixation devices and open approaches, and cross-checking descriptions to select the appropriate option.

Explains regular procedures such as haemodialysis—intermittent, prolonged, or continuous—and the documentation needed, plus mechanical ventilation timing and coding for respiratory conditions.

Explore the coding and documentation of pneumothorax, covering the procedural approach percutaneous or acupressure and the introduction of gas into the pleural cavity.

Compare total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty by documenting side (left, right, or bilateral), implant materials (metal on metal, metal on polyethylene, ceramic), cement status, and revision.

Learn how to perform ERCP and place pancreatic duct stents, including when dilation and device selection apply. Use fluoroscopy and contrast to guide endoscopic procedures.

Learn to document and categorize cardiac catheterization procedures, including left and right heart catheterization and angiography, noting contrast use and fluoroscopy. Align records with bilateral versus single-site procedures.

Explore ileostomy takedown techniques, including excision, repair, and reposition, and decide between open and percutaneous approaches with practical tips.

Explore BNC procedures in the 3M PCS workshop, covering pregnancy status, abortion vs non-abortion cases, endometrium extraction, dilation, and vacuum methods.

Document spinal fusion procedures by noting number of joints, graft type (allograft), approach (posterior lateral or open), and any discectomy or decompression.

Master newborn phototherapy coding by reading therapy documentation to select correct procedures, and learn circumcision coding for a male patient within the ip drg 3m pcs workshop.

Record colostomy information and enter details for formation, revision, or closure, using the sigmoid colon open approach to ensure an appropriate and normal passage.

Explore how to document amputation procedures for lower extremities, distinguishing left and right sides, complete versus partial amputations, and open approach methods to ensure accurate PCS coding.

Learn when to cancel procedures, document the cancellation, and perform diagnostic inspection procedures during partial or failed laparoscopic operations, with emphasis on accurate recording.
