This series of reviews has been produced to assist both the experienced surgeon and coder, as well as those just starting practice that may have little formal training in this area. Understanding this complex system will allow the provider to work "smarter, not harder" and garner the maximum compensation for their work. We hope we have been successful in achieving that goal and that this series will provide useful information and be worth the time invested in reading it by bringing tangible benefits to the efficiency of practice and its reimbursement. This second section deals with postoperative documentation and coding, documentation and coding in conjunction with trainees and advanced practitioners, and coding of select procedures.
本系列综述旨在帮助经验丰富的外科医生和编码人员，以及刚开始从事该领域工作且可能在此方面接受过很少正规培训的人员。理解这个复杂的系统将使从业者能够“更聪明地工作，而非更努力地工作”，并为他们的工作获得最大补偿。我们希望我们已经成功实现了这一目标，并且本系列将提供有用的信息，通过为实践效率及其报销带来切实好处，使其值得投入时间阅读。第二部分涉及术后文档记录与编码、与实习生和高级从业者相关的文档记录与编码，以及特定手术的编码。
