: Hospitals and inpatient reviewers justify length of stay based on the codes that come up from chart reviews. Reviewers look at charts daily in many places. NO CODE/NO COVERAGE. Unfortunately the healthcare system is evolving into a  mess where the bean counters get more attention than a patients needs or a doctors clinical opinion.

Once identified, an adequate diagnosis can be given.
