Publisher description
MedicalTemplates has introduced a Pneumonia Evaluation medical note template. This MedicalTemplate is a fillable Adobe PDF with editable text fields and working checkboxes to streamline clinical documentation for the evaluation of patients with known or suspected pneumonia in both ambulatory and inpatient settings. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show pneumonia to be the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, causing about 90,000 deaths per year. Each year pneumonia affects 4 million Americans, is responsible for 1 million hospital admissions, and results in 10 billion dollars in health care costs. The overall mortality rate of pneumonia is 13 percent, and is influenced by factors such as age, living in a nursing home, or having cardiac or renal disease. The large numbers of people affected by pneumonia and the associated health care costs make pneumonia care a focus for many health care quality improvement initiatives. The Pneumonia Evaluation MedicalTemplate can assist healthcare providers to thoroughly evaluate patients with pneumonia and meet the quality standards for many of quality improvement initiatives, including the new Medicare Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI). Documentation prompters for three PQRI quality measures are included in this medical note template.
