EXPLICIT DOCUMENTATION TRAINING
The Healthcare Industry is experiencing the most radical and transforming change to date, with emphasis on physician documentation. In this era of Value Based Purchasing, RAC audits, Quality Initiatives and the implementation of ICD 10, the need for explicit documentation depicting efficiency and quality, that captures the patient’s true Severity of Illness and Medical Necessity, has never been greater.
INNOVATIVE EDUCATION
Addressing the documentation of Present on Admission (POA), Medicare Severity-Diagnostic Related Groups (MS-DRG’s) and the significant risk factors involved in every diagnosis with specificity has become imperative in meeting appropriateness of patient care and justifying consumption of resources.
