The CPT section on Excision and Debridement has been revised to refer only to Debridement. All wound debridements are now reported by depth of tissue removed and by surface area of the wound. If debridement of a single wound is required, the deepest level of tissue removed is used to report the service.
Released Monday, the 2013 World Happiness Report ranks the happiest countries around the globe, with Denmark, Norway and Switzerland leading the pack.
As a result of 30 years of research, we now know a lot about what affects happiness. The main influences are economic, personal/social and environmental.

In most countries income explains less than 2% of the overall variance in happiness (the other identifiable factors explain about 20%).
