Abstract:
In this article, Drs Kerr and Yan describe four cases--two handled the wrong way and two the right way--to help you frame a set of criteria that will work for you in suspecting, testing for, diagnosing, and treating pulmonary embolism in ambulatory patients. In addition, Dr Kerr uses his legal expertise to provide suggestions on avoiding liability resulting from inadequate documentation.
