Are you referring to an acute care setting, long term care or what? I do not know if a list exists, other than the "Red Book" which lists ICD-9 codes. However, if your question was a little more specific you might get the answer you need from someone. Are you a nurse? Student? Why do you need the info and how much do you need?
I am a student nurse soing research for a NP at my clinical site. In the office (family practice) and (Internal medicine)the 3 doctors and 2 NP's are all using diffrent progress notes, history forms ect. She is trying to get all of them on board with the same paper work. And is trying to gather the information needed to pursuade them in to agreement. Articles with this kind of information is impossibe to find.
