of Complications Complexity of Medical Decision Making Risk Minimal Presenting Problem -1 self-limited or minor problem Dx Procedure Ordered -Venipuncture -X-rays -EKG -EEG -Urinalysis -ECHO -Physiologic tests NOT under stress i.e., PFTs -Noncardiovascular imaging studies + contrast Barium enema -Superficial needle biopsies -Clinical lab tests requiring arterial puncture -Skin biopsies -Physiologic tests under stress Cardiac stress test Cardiopulmonary exercise test -Diagnostic endoscopies with NO risk factors -Deep needle or incisional biopsy -Cardiovascular imaging studies with contrast NO identifiable risk factors Cardiac catheterization -Obtaining body cavity fluid Thoracentesis -Cardiovascular imaging studies + Risk factors -Cardiac electro-physiologic tests -Diagnostic endoscopies + Risk factors -Discography Management Options Selected -Rest -Gargles -Elastic bandages Low -2 or more self-limited or minor problems -1 stable, well- controlled chronic illness -Acute uncomplicated illness or injury -OTC drugs -Minor surgery without identified risk factors -Physical therapy -Occupational therapy -IV fluids without additives Moderate -Mild exacerbation of 1 or more chronic illnesses -2 or more stable, chronic illnesses -Previously undiagnosed NEW problem with uncertain prognosis (i.e., breast lump) -Acute illness with systemic symptoms -Acute complicated injury -Minor surgery WITH identified risk factors -Elective major surgery with NO identified risk factors -Prescription drug management -Therapeutic nuclear medicine -IV fluids with additives -Closed treatment of fracture High -Severe exacerbation or progression of 1 or more chronic illnesses -Acute or chronic illness or injury that threatens life or limb -Abrupt change in neurologic status -Elective surgery + Risk factors -Emergency Major surgery -Parenteral controlled substances -Drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring -Decision to not resuscitate or to de-escalate care due to poor prognosis The highest level in ANY category determines the overall risk The highest level in ANY category determines the overall risk 1997 Guidelines for Evaluation Management Services 1997 Guidelines
