Okay real medical infant gestational age - rock bottom


Posted: Mar 21, 2015

Dictator states infant born at 33-6/7 weeks, corrected gestational age now 37-7/7 weeks.

Am I missing something? Wouldn't that be 38-0/7 weeks?

Or maybe they have to have lived entirely through the last day to be rolled over to 38-0/7 weeks?

Just not sure if I should flag this or there is some way of counting the actual last day of the week so that it is 7/7 (like the 7th day of the week), until the next day?

 

Never heard it stated that way (7/7) but I don't - really do a lot of Peds....

[ In Reply To ..]
To be safe, I'd just transcribe as dictated.

I need some real advice on medical coding programs.

What gives with that ridiculous jargon in the training video?  "Real-time doctor's list."  Gimme a break.  "Streamlining our job."  Hooha.  "Increasing our productivity."  Come on now.  We're not idiots, Q. If that doctor's list was real time, it would be instantaneous.  I know that they meant that we would get to see a doctor's name as soon as it was updated on their end, but to call it real time is a misnomer.  How are extra ke ...
