Clinical
Documentation Improvement: Quality Measures and Documentation Standards
Overview
As the demand for accurate and timely clinical
documentation increases, AccuChecker
OnLine is providing skills and expertise to improve documentation. Because
clinical documentation is at the core of every patient encounter, in order to
be meaningful it must be accurate, timely, and reflect the scope of services
provided. Successful CDI programs facilitate the accurate representation of a
patient’s clinical status that translates into coded data. Coded data is then
translated into quality report cards, physician report cards, reimbursement,
public health data, and disease tracking and trending. HIM professionals
provide two key roles within a CDI program as a clinical documentation
improvement specialist and coding professional. By working together, AccuChecker OnLine can support their
organizations efforts to collect and provide meaningful information throughout
the continuum of care.
CDI will
affect documentation necessary to meet industry standards, as well as report
cards.
