Still Waiting for “Improvement” From Your CDI Solution?
Your hospital’s turbocharged new EMR is a productivity-boosting machine. But it always seems stuck in neutral when it comes to reviewing and coding physician documentation. Between illegible paper notes and slow turnaround on dictated notes, getting accurate data into the EMR is a daily adventure. Coders are constantly chasing down charts for notes that haven’t made their way into your EMR system.
With so many physician documentation styles to accommodate and so little consistency between them, it’s little wonder that physician response to your CDI efforts has been underwhelming… at best.
