skipped by mistake (sorry). Put it off for a next study session. rescheduled
Part II.
- B00-B99 done 25/09/2017
- B90-B94 Sequel of infectious and parasitic diseases. Not used for the coding of the main condition if a code for the residual condition can be assigned.
- B95-B97 is a block of additional codes that enables infectious organisms to be unidentified as the cause of condition primarily classified to other chapters (additional or supplementary, these should never be used for the coding of primary disease).
- B99 Other infectious diseases. (used only if no other code can correctly be assigned).
A 4 step training & Test
Here a good start training (& done) so getting familiar with nomenclature structure but only made 53% (8/15) mark at test.
Turning Up point to OPENSTACK
I got 3 subject points converging in this note paragraph, I got not answer from IHRIM about my membership application and time, which also means annual to examination date compulsory fees to pay, is going on. A twit about a (to some extent quite interesting) conference but also quite far from my whereabouts (Manchester) & in not good times, really, for me now to incur in investments (fees which is £0) for IHRIM members but connected with a kind of sponsor institution which seems to offer some more even extended options, the FED-IP here more info. Third, a so gripping one (& free, & bootstrapping for wide range targets) which I could set up immediately by becoming a Open-stack (even, a certified) user and apparently easy trough the Fedora way.
