Works with Coding Auditors, Clinical Documentation Specialists, and clinicians to identify areas for improvement in documentation and collaborates on educational initiatives regarding documentation and DRG assignment.
Examination with FibroScanÂ®, also called transient elastography, is a technique used to assess liver stiffness (measured in kPa correlated to fibrosis) without invasive investigation.xamination with FibroScanÂ®, also called transient elastography, is a technique used to assess liver stiffness (measured in kPa correlated to fibrosis) without invasive investigation.
We recommend that a correction is made for ALT > 100 IU in chronic hepatitis and for scans performed within 2 h of a meal [14Â·].. Putting it all Together;How to use Transient Elastography. in Clinical Practice:Currently, we utilize FibroScan elastography extensively as a point of contact test in our liver clinics. We recommend a baseline elastography in all patients at the initial visit to establish the baseline stiffness for each patient and to assist in management decisions.
