ICD-10 Clinic Intermediate - Book 8: Skin and Soft Tissue Cases

Chapter 12 of the code book looks simple and is not. Two entirely separate ulcer families live in it, each with its own axes and its own sequencing rules, and getting them confused is one of the most common serious coding errors. This book covers cellulitis and abscess, pressure ulcers by site and stage, non-pressure ulcers by depth, the diabetic foot chain, gangrene, and the wounds that will not heal.

The ten chapters:

1. Cellulitis

2. Abscess

3. Into the bone

4. Drug reactions

5. Which ulcer family?

6. Pressure ulcers

7. Unstageable

8. Non-pressure ulcers

9. The diabetic foot chain

10. Gangrene

Twenty-five A4 pages in full colour, with a two-page Coding Lab that works a full record step by step, a page of the eight pitfalls that cost the most marks, fifteen practice questions with a worked answer for every one, and a glossary.

Written in short sentences and plain English, for readers whose first language is not English and clearer for everyone else because of it.
