It depends WHERE the walking took place. If the resident only walked in the therapy department and NOT in the room or the corridor, then I don't count it. But if the therapist walks him in his room or the corridor, then I would count. ( count the walking in Section T no matter where walking was done) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 2:18 PM Subject: Coding walking while resident on PT
