Salar safeguards the entire health information management structure by capturing data at the point-of-care.
“I need a compliance-driven method for clarifying physician documentation.”
Often discrepancies in clinical notes are identified by medical records after the patient is discharged, sometimes several weeks later. By that time, the details of a specific record are sometimes difficult to recollect. To eliminate instances like these, TeamQuery™ allows medical records to more effectively communicate with physicians to clarify information.
“I want my coders to work from anywhere and review and code the case in real-time, while the patient is still in-house.”
Using TeamQuery, clinical coders and reviewers can review inpatient notes, immediately after the note is signed by the physician. They can query the physician electronically through TeamNotes™ to collect more accurate, comprehensive documentation. Real-time review provides medical records with the opportunity to capture more comprehensive documentation from physicians. Salar’s tools also enhance clinical documentation improvement initiatives, rather than placing coders on patient floors to sift through charts with sticky notes.
“Give my clinicians a fast, efficient and compliant way to respond to documentation queries, and no more sticky notes!”
Compliant queries are sent using OIG-compliant clarification forms ensuring a greater physician response.
“I want a system that reduces billing cycles, ensures more accurate MS-DRG assignment, and monitors key business and financial indicators electronically.”
The real-time nature of TeamNotes and TeamQuery significantly reduces billing cycles and ensures the capture of comprehensive documentation. With the installment of MS-DRGs, TeamQuery provides an even greater opportunity to improve documentation with accurate DRG assignment and increase case mix index. This system also enables quality improvement staff to define and monitor key safety and financial indicators to maximize hospital performance.
