Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI)
ICD-10-CM/PCS is largely dependent upon precise documentation and the HIM professional’s ability to conceptualize the information. It is also a critical element in delivery of quality patient care. Complete and accurate documentation validates the care provided, shares key data with subsequent caregivers, and allows coders to accurately code information in order to receive appropriate payment. While payment may not be the focus when providing healthcare, good documentation remains an arguably strong link to financial performance, which subsequently impacts the ability to continue to provide healthcare services. We offer to develop or maintain a robust CDI program within HIM departments across the U.S.

Our Appeal (s) Management/Recovery Team works with your facility’s knowledgeable staff; together forming an alliance that yields revenue and provides insight to reduce the number of future denials.
Why hire an outsider? Today’s healthcare facilities are being scrutinized as never before and are being forced to do more work with fewer people.
