*Are collectors able to easily pick up from charts if patient has a decubitus ulcer? Reason I am asking is that one site is reporting a high number of bedsores compared to others? Wondering if there collection practice differences?--[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 15:00, 30 April 2010 (CDT)
 
**HSC B3- Pat is finding that there is poor documentation on charts about when and decubitus ulcer present on admission or when acquired after coming to a ward. (exception, HSC_D5 is excellent with documentation. Stage of ulcer is rarely documented in the chart.  Pat looks at the nursing FLOW SHEET for indication of some sort of a dressing change that would clue her in that there may be a bed sore. Pat will then track down a bedside nurse to find out what dressing is for and if bedsore what would be the stage. Most time it is a guess because of poor documentation by both Doc and Nurse.[[User: PStein | PStein]]

== When to use the generic dx ==
Use the generic entry when one of the following is true:
* the wound was not assessed
* there was insufficient info in the chart to determine stage
 
== When to use the Unstageable dx ==
Wound bed can't be seen so true stage can't be determined.
