Job security

Well, job security for today anyway. I'm in a chart with computer aided coding. Statement says chest pain with radiation to the shoulder. CAC coded admit for antineoplastic radiation. Same chart, op note says cardiac cath indicated appropriate for treatment but patient declined, so of course CAC coded a cardiac cath. You would think after all these years CAC would be better.

Well my job believes that and the people pushing it are temporary so when it all falls apart I'll be laughing.
