very challenging!
VERY HELPFUL
Love the self-paced format!
After reading the book this was much easier for me.
Engaging games and graphics
really long course for 1 CEU – might be better to have a single course on Sepsis or Covid
I do wish Influenza was covered in this course as there are quite a few codes for influenza infections and I always feel unsure on those. Section on Covid was extremely helpful!
great review and great to know you are coding sepsis correctly
GOOD
examples with each Sepsis coding guidelines have been helpful to understand the lengthy sepsis topic and sequencing
I have been very happy with these courses and plan to take more.
