Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order to review individual arthroscopy cases, the report should include patient identifiers (such as name and MR#), the specific procedure code (ICD-10-CM), the date of discharge, and the surgeon who performed the procedure. These elements will provide the necessary information to retrieve and analyze individual cases. Option A does not provide enough information, option C does not include the surgeon, and option D is too limited and does not provide any patient-specific data.
