This Ais designed to help you analyze the many considerations for prescribing mood stabilizers, as well as organizing the many different lab components to consider when prescribing to a patient.
Directions:
Construct a 5- to 6-p p  discussing each of the four traditional mood stabilizer medications: carbamazepine, lamotrigine, lithium, and valproate products. Support your answers with five (5) evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature.

Baseline assessment, laboratory considerations, and frequency of ongoing labs and assessments
Note: Discuss the importance of assessment and labs.
Special population considerations (birth assigned gender, age, other medical comorbidity considerations)
FDA approval indications
Typical dosing with discussion on therapeutic endpoints for psychiatric use
Major drug–drug interaction considerations

For each of these medications, please review potential drug–drug interactions listed below. Consider alternative dosing schedules, clinical implications for the drug interactions, additional patient education needed, any additional monitoring recommended, or collaboration needed with other medical professions (such as, primary care providers)

Lamotrigine + Valproate
Lamotrigine + Rifampin
Valproate + Estrogen containing birth control.

For this assignment, you will learn about computer-assisted coding and practice using the computer-assisted encoder.   Many encoders now have this feature to assist coders with coding.  The CAC will use natural language processing to suggest diagnoses and procedures/surgeries that should be coded.  The coder then acts as an editor and determines which suggested codes should actually be coded on the chart.  Complete the TWO parts of this assignment.
1)  Follow the instructions on this attached CAC Assignment file and determine the correct coding for this case. Refer to the Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS and use them to decide on the correct coding.  State why and what corrections are made and state which coding guideline applies to each of your corrections.  (Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting can be found in the reference section of 3M in AHIMA Vlab or in your coding manuals for ICD-10-CM and ICD-10-PCS).
2)  Using AHIMA Vlab Nuance (see announcement for AHIMA Vlab Encoders).
Login to AHIMA Vlab and choose Nuance Clintergy.  Review the FAQs and the Vlab Login Credential for using Nuance Cintergy.
Launch Nuance Clintergy.  
Do assignments #1 Getting Started and #3 ICD-10 Lab,
Submit grade screenshots of your passing score (85 or higher) for each assignment in one document.
To make a screenshot:To do a screenshot on a Microsoft computer, use the CTRL key and the PRTSCR key, press down on both at the same time, lift your fingers and go to a blank Word page.  Use the CTRL and V keys and paste the screenshot onto a Word document. For a Mac, you can use shift + command + 4.Put all screenshots on one page and submit as proof of coding for your assignment.  Save Word document and submit.
