She states that her shortness of breath has been worsening over the past few weeks as well as increasing leg swelling.  She was recently started on levothyroxine and Eliquis went when she was diagnosed last week with atrial flutter.  She is a 1.5 pack/day smoker.  She states she does not drink alcohol.  She notes her legs are chronically swollen but were worse over the last few weeks.   In the ED she was found to be in A-fib flutter with rapid ventricular response she was given Cardizem push and responded to a degree.  Patient was taking Toprol, will change to Lopressor to better control heart rate.  Her lab work was relatively benign other than leukocytosis.  Review of Systems     A complete, 13-system review was performed and was negative except for as noted in the HPI.

They require high complexity evaluation, decision making, and care. They require ICU level of care and monitoring due to high risk of clinical decompensation with high risk of morbidity and mortality. Critical care time includes, but is not limited to, bedside assessment, review of medical record, radiographic and laboratory results, ventilator and/or respiratory management, review of ekg and/or cardiac monitoring, critical decision making, coordination of care with consultants and/or care team, and documentation of critical intervention/plans, and consultation with patient and/or family. Time excludes any procedural time.  I spent greater than 50 minutes in the evaluation and management of this patient with more than 50% of the time spent counseling and/or coordinating care.  I counseled the patient and/or family about the findings, differential diagnoses, my assessment, recommendations, and plan.  I coordinated care with the multidisciplinary healthcare team.
