Seven Criteria for High Quality Clinical Documentation + Best Practices for Physician Auditing – Combo
Recorded Webinar
Clinical documentation is the cornerstone for all patient medical records. This information should be of the highest quality to allow for optimal patient outcomes as well as supporting research, medical coding and other uses of the medical record. Its purpose is to adequately relate the patient’s current and historical conditions and treatments with primary focus placed on situations that affect the current medical encounter. It also supports the provider’s defense should the case become a legal issue.
Review of 7 criteria that all entries in the medical record should include
Impact of documentation on coding & claims
Establishing a CDI team
The ICD-10 code set requires explicit documentation of conditions & treatments in order to support the severity of patients under treatment as well as allow for the significant specificity required by this code set. Ambiguous documentation and generic coding will no longer guarantee reimbursement and may generate a claims denial for lack of medical necessity. In this session, we will review the theory of high-quality clinical documentation which has the support of healthcare regulatory guidelines and peer-review research.
Additional consideration involves medical outcomes that may result in legal action. When clinical documentation is vague, missing key elements and conflicting statements, the provider may find that he/she is handicapped in supporting medical decisions and patient results, particularly when the result is a negative outcome for the patient.
In today’s healthcare environment, many patients have become educated consumers of medical services. They are more inclined to request their own medical record, carefully review explanation of benefits from payers, and request a review of any information they deem to be incomplete or questionable.
Is your practice audit safe? Do you have compliance risks? The first issue will be where do you start to determine your risk. Some key questions to ask: Is this a compliance or educational audit? Is this a baseline audit or a more focused audit? Do you have an internal audit team or do you need to hire external auditors? The type of audit will determine where to start, how many services to review and the type of service(s) to be audited. Is there a time limitation? Has there been a previous audit that showed issues that need attention? Have there been internal or external complaints that need to be reviewed? This webinar will discuss best practices and all of these issues as well as how to determine a pull and how many services should be included in the audit.

Does your organization consider the strategic, operational, and compliance related impact of human capital decisions on its ability to achieve its business goals and objectives? Does your human capital help your organization achieve its management goals? Are your employment policies and practices creating material risks and liabilities? Are AI issues now affecting your employment practices? This webinar discusses the development and use of HR Audits in answering these questions and in addressing critical risk management and due diligence issues. The threats and risks from human resource management issues are increasing. No longer measured in only fines, penalties, and awards for non-compliance, human resource management affects keys business metrics, including the organization’s valuation and credit rating. Further, improper human resource management can significantly reduce managerial prerogatives and seriously damage the organization’s reputation and employment brand. As a result, HR audits have become an important tool in identifying problem areas and are increasingly evolving from an ad hoc audit activity to a critical element of an organization’s risk management and compliance processes. Numerous external forces and factors have an impact on the demand for and scope of HR audits. First, in the global economy, human capital has become for many organizations the single most important determinant of competitiveness, productivity, sustainability, and profitability. Increasingly, the organization’s human capital is the source of innovation and a driver of business success. Second, a confluence of economic, political, and social factors, including corporate scandals, the failure of organizations to adequately assess risks, and the increasing number of stockholder initiatives, have resulted in increased statutory and regulatory requirements, a call for greater transparency, and increased internal and external audit activity. Third, governmental agencies have become more active — some would argue more aggressive — and have committed more resources to conducting assessments of employment policies and practices. Importantly, the EEOC, the OFCCP, U.S. DOL, and ICE have advised employers that they consider self-assessments and audits a “best practice.” Fourth, AI is no longer used solely as a tool to support HR activities. AI is quickly becoming a critical element of strategic and tactical management activities. It this environment, identifying and assessing human capital related risks have become a critical element of an organization’s success. As a result, an organization’s ability to audit and manage these risks plays an increasing role in helping it succeed.
