Description

Prerequisites
Description

Certain cases are annotated with ICD diagnosis codes not described in the medical documentation. I hypothesize that a doctor has assigned the code but forgotten to document the diagnosis in the discharge summary. Do the doctors or secretaries assigned the ICD codes at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center?
