Interventional Radiology Consultation
This is an example of the documentation for “Interventional Radiology Consultation” for an inpatient with appendicitis and an outside CT scan.

After reviewing the case with an IR MD, the NP entered the encounter under a template that collects meds, labs, etc and followed a standard format. The subject is standardized as “Interventional Radiology Consultation” and listed under Consultation section in Powerchart.

The attending MD on call or who reviewed the consult is notified to endorse or verify (to be determined based on further discussions) then endorses/verifies these notes at the end of the document.

These encounters are not currently billed for. All notes on daily followup on inpatients should be listed under Inpatient only.
