Some interesting things i've learned:
Central line 2.5
Thoracentesis 1.5
LP 1.4
Paracentesis 1.3
Smoking cessation 11min 0.5
Smoking cessation 4 min 0.25
Navigational is not worth it but I perform them to help folks avoid serious morbidity.
I will never waste my time doing another thoracentesis ever unless its a weekend and i wanna reallly get someone off the vent.
I can tag on smoking cessation to 3 notes and make more than the 30-45 painful minutes it takes to go through all the crap to do a thora.
Others:
-always put "therapeutic aspiration of secretions"
on bronch note.
I document well and efficiently and EPIC is a huge plus. Just thought i'd ask about what sone of you do to increase RVU's. Was shocked at how little revenue a relatively dangerous procedure generates.
