NEW in @JAMAInternalMed.
PCIs coded for unstable angina in the outpatient setting ⬆ from 2010 to 2014. This ⬆ was most dramatic in NY (14x).
Have diagnostic/coding patterns changed in response to efforts to reduce inappropriate PCIs? @d_sukul @rwyehhttps://t.co/SykIkgoaDM pic.twitter.com/MAn006uMLw
