ICD-10-PCS XR2 New Technology: Joints Monitoring
The ICD-10-PCS root operation Monitoring (Code XR2) refers to the continuous or repeated observation and assessment of a patient’s physiological condition. This operation is classified under the New Technology section, highlighting its relevance to advanced or emerging medical procedures.
Unlike other root operations that involve direct intervention on body parts, monitoring focuses on collecting data over time to inform clinical decisions without altering the patient's anatomy. Although no specific codes are currently provided under this classification, monitoring procedures commonly include continuous tracking of vital signs, cardiac rhythms, or other physiological parameters using specialized medical devices.
Understanding the root operation Monitoring in the ICD-10-PCS framework is essential for accurately documenting the use of innovative technologies that support patient management through careful observation and data collection. This ensures clear communication of the procedure’s purpose and use within advanced healthcare settings.
