Did anyone else read the HBM December 2017 issue that states on page 26 that the correct DOS for a multi day procedure is the date of conclusion?
The example given on the test yourself was : Start 1135pm on Oct 31 / End 150am on Nov 1
Normally, I would have chosen the DOS to be 10/31; however per this article (& test) it should be 11/1.
What are you using? The date of starting time or the date of end time?
This totally blew my 22 years of experience out of the water. Have I been mis-informed for all these years?
