This month’s challenge is related to M1860 – Ambulation/Locomotion. One lucky follower wth the correct answer will be randomly selected to receive a copy of our 2024 INSTANT OASIS Answers Book. Scenario: During the SOC visit, the nurse assesses a patient’s ability to ambulate in their assisted living facility and up and down one stair. The nurse observes that the patient can independently ambulate over varying surfaces in the assisted living facility (carpet, tiled floor, wood floors, etc.) and up and down one stair with the use of their standard walker. How should M1860 - Ambulation/Locomotion be coded? A: 0 - Able to independently walk on even and uneven surfaces and negotiate stairs with or without railings (specifically: needs no human assistance or assistive device). B: 1 - With the use of a one-handed device (for example, cane, single crutch, hemi-walker), able to independently walk on even and uneven surfaces and negotiate stairs with or without railings. C: 2 - Requires use of a two-handed device (for example, walker or crutches) to walk alone on a level surface and/or requires human supervision or assistance to negotiate stairs or steps or uneven surfaces. D: 3 - Able to walk only with the supervision or assistance of another person at all times.

Truly channeling the Voice of the Physician Customer starts with identifying all the various types of physicians who may be involved with the disease or condition your technology will touch. Are you capturing them all? In some clinical areas like cardiac rhythm management, traditionally it’s been Electrophysiologists – a very targeted sub-specialty within Cardiology – who are the implanters of most devices. But it turns out sometimes they get busy with the latest technology in ablations and start ceding their simpler and more straightforward device implants to their Interventional Cardiology colleagues. Sometimes the more entrepreneurial ICs start opening their own ambulatory surgery centers and realizing that pacemaker implants in an ASC are very doable. Do ICs need something different than EPs? Are you hearing all the voices? Are you keeping your pulse on what’s the same as always and what’s changing? In the rapidly evolving field of medical technology, the voice of our physician customers is always the primary one. Their insights and experiences are the foundation for innovations that truly meet clinical needs. By collaborating closely with physicians, you ensure your solutions enhance patient care and streamline workflows. This symbiotic relationship leads us to push the boundaries of what's possible in healthcare. We are committed to supporting you in listening, learning, and leading with the expertise of those on the front lines. Together, we are shaping the future of medical technology, making it more intuitive, effective, and impactful. #HealthcareInnovation #MedTech #PhysicianCollaboration
