Regarding selection of MS-DRGs, I had gone back and repeated steps prior to final. I either appear to have missed a step, or misunderstood instruction. Clinically I knew what I had to select, though the process was not clear to me.
This was an excellent presentation, with focused demonstrations and sharing of resources. Outstanding opportunity to learn and build a foundation of knowledge.

Is very hard to manage the course, the letters are too small and not zoom options available. The information is good.
I really liked this narrator
I would recommend more practices on how to assign the correct MS-DRG codes based the diagnosis and procedures.
Very good and informative course.
This one was really tough
Thank you
A simple step by step presentation that was easy to understand and retain.
Nicely broken down for a very complicated system.
This was an amazing refresher course definitely enjoyed it.
