Points of Interest on Patient 5
In terms of documentation, this case is typical of many delivery charts. Often times,
practitioners document the complication of delivery in only one area, such as the
delivery note or the operative report. In this case, the baby has a nuchal cord, but it is
only mentioned once in the delivery record.
This is also an illustration of the three types of codes, at a minimum, that must be on
every delivery chart: a diagnostic code from the delivery or pregnancy category, an
outcome of birth code (V code), and a procedure code.
