Clinical documentation is key to every healthcare encounter. It needs to be complete and reflect the scope of care and services provided. The coding, reimbursement, mortality rate and case-mix are directly impacted when documentation is missing, unclear or insufficient. This ultimately results in real impact to the care provider’s bottom line.

Don’t miss this webinar covering the issues surrounding and solutions for documentation improvement for healthcare providers in rural communities:

  • The potential for human error in procedure documentation, which can be compounded by manual, redundant, inefficient paper-based coding process
  • The impact of vague or incomplete documentation, which can be interpreted, and therefore coded differently
  • The likelihood of receiving a demand for repayment increases without the appropriate systems in place to fully and accurately capture the data necessary to support payment claims and appeals
  • Reducing overbilling, which can have a significant impact on a healthcare provider’s bottom line and make them a target for the RAC program, even when unintentional
  • Getting to faster reimbursement due to more accurate coding through the implementation and monitoring of coding education to providers, improving both completeness and quality of physician documentation
