Musculoskeletal: Normal range of motion, No focal tenderness Integumentary: Warm, Dry, No rash Neurologic: No focal weakness. Sensation intact. Normal mood and affect     I saw and evaluated the patient in addition to the APP. I provided a substantive portion of the care for this patient. I personally performed in its entirety exam for this encounter. I have reviewed and verified this documentation and it accurately reflects our care.       Hospital Medicine Due to a high probability of clinically significant, life threatening deterioration, the patient required my highest level of preparedness to intervene emergently and I personally spent 40 minutes of critical care time directly and personally managing the patient. This critical care time included obtaining a history, examining the patient, pulse oximetry, ordering and reviewing the studies, arranging urgent treatment with development of a management plan, evaluation of the patient's response to treatment, frequent reassessment, and discussions with other clinicians. The critical care time was performed to assess and manage the high probability of imminent, life-threatening deterioration that could result in multi-organ failure. It was exclusive of separately billable procedures and treating other patients and teaching time. Please see the MDM section and the rest of this note for further information on patient assessment and treatment.
