March 18, 2014—Discharge Enhancements for Significant Operations and Procedures
Discharge orders must include information on the significant operations and procedures performed during the inpatient visit. Providers completing the orders can look up procedures to list them in the face sheet. An entry is required; to make it simpler when no significant procedure or surgery is performed, the field has been enhanced to include a checkbox for "None."
When the stay does include any significant operation or procedure, each item listed must include the date performed. You can enter the exact date (mm/dd/yyyy), the month and year (mm/yyyy), or the year (yyyy). Entries are not sorted alphabetically or by date; they are listed in the order they're entered.
Instructions: Completing the Face Sheet: Enter surgeries and other procedures performed during the inpatient visit
