Present on admission (POA) indicator status is not well-defined
Acuity of conditions (acute, chronic, acute on chronic)
Conflicting documentation between the attending physician and other healthcare providers

The physician clarification will:
Not lead the physician to a particular, desired response or introduce any new information
Be clearly and concisely written - contain precise language as directed by J A Thomas - The Guide.
Present facts from the medical record and identify why the clarification is needed
Capture Severity of Illness (SOI) and Risk of Mortality (ROM)
Present multiple options
Utilize a 360 degree approach including: clinical indicators; treatment; and risk factors

All questions posed to the provider will be based on clinical indicators, risk factors, and treatment/management to ensure compliance and consistency of policy and process. All physician clarification responses must be documented in a primary source of documentation. Sources of documentation are: the face sheet, H and P, consultation notes, progress notes, and discharge summary.
