The Coding and Data Quality Committee is presenting reprints of articles created by the committee for the CHIA Journal on the CHIA Web site. As an added value of service to our membership, we feel it is important to reproduce on the CHIA Web site those articles that are still relevant for easy reference. After publication in the CHIA Journal, each of the articles created by our committee in the future will be made available for your reference three months after printing. We hope that you enjoy having the knowledge of your coding committee readily at hand.
