Mitigation

Ensure INR levels are recorded in the patient's chart., Educate staff on the importance of documenting anticoagulant use.

Using K92.2 without specifying the source of bleeding

Anticoagulant-related bleeding

Impact

Risk of incorrect coding without proper documentation of INR levels.

Mitigation

Implement checks for INR documentation in patient records.
