Today's EHR documentation reflects the changes and updates to clinical decision-making, treatments, and ongoing guideline development. Devices, procedures, and therapeutics are also changing as new technologies help to improve health outcomes. Administrative data is a trove for identifying and evaluating trends and opportunities that can be used to supplement both coder and CDI continuing education.

The effective transformation of clinical processes and data into financial processes and data is still a considerable challenge for most healthcare provider organizations. The opportunity where these two domains blend often creates incomplete and sometimes inaccurate patient and clinical information leading to suboptimal reimbursement, compliance risks and potential government-imposed penalties.
This webinar will include examples and lessons learned from various hospital experiences. It will reveal strategies to rethink processes, data flow and relationships to enhance and sustain this critical juncture of providers' operations through collaboration and data driven decision making.

With the increased use of risk-adjusted models to determine reimbursement, it is critical that coders have a solid understanding of Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs). This webinar reviews the HCC categories and the role they play in risk-adjusted payment models. We discuss the impact of clinical documentation on coding and the resulting HCC assignment, and review best practices for assigning & sequencing or querying for appropriate diagnosis codes.

Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) is well-established in the inpatient arena, and is now poised to extend into outpatient encounters. Understanding what needs to be done in the outpatient setting is a daunting task, as there are dozens of stakeholders who need improvements in documentation. This webinar provides an understanding of what's in store as CDI is extended to outpatient areas, and how to ultimately measure its success.
