Medical Coding Additional Discussion
Please read the following case and tell me how would you of handle this situation, if you were the Director of medical records for the hospital. I found this story in a Medical Records new letter.
In South Carolina, A lady check herself into a mental hospital because, of depression and stress. Her husband left her and took the kids with him. She did not want her family to know until; she was ready to handle the situation herself; one of her family member work in Medical Records at the hospital. The family member copies her medical records and showed it to other family members. Once the lady found out her family knew she had a nervous breakdown because, her family members did not support her getting help from the mental hospital. The lady spent two years in the mental hospital.
