When reviewing an autopsy report we will '''no longer''' be changing the DX admit or acquired codes. What we will do is '''add''' any '''significant''' findings in the autopsy report in an empty slot at the end of your admit or acquired codes using the subcode “50”.

We used to review autopsy reports for deceased patients. Initially the existing diagnoses were updated with findings from the autopsy report, and later findings from the autopsy report were collected in empty admit or acquired slots and marked as subcode "50".  
* This seems to refer to a process that is no longer used, but that itself superseded another process. I have added two headings that are empty for each of the processes. Could someone fill in a brief summary under each? Feel free to change the headings if I misunderstood and the headings I made are not applicable.
