Product of the week: Clinical Documentation Improvement Tips to Identify Patient Safety Indicator Targets webcast
Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs need to expand their focus beyond CC/MCC capture reviews. New reimbursement methods are punishing facilities that cannot prove they meet certain quality standards. That proof often lies within what is (or isn’t) documented in the medical record.
Join us at 1 p.m. (Eastern) Tuesday, January 19, for the 90-minute webcast. During this program, expert speakers Michelle McCormack, RN, BSN, CCDS, CRCR, and Mark LeBlanc, RN, MBA, CCDS, will discuss how traditional reviews can be expanded to include investigations into Patient Safety Indicators and how to work cohesively with their quality departments to improve the overall capture of these important statistics.

Rinkle, MPA, will cover frequently raised questions and discuss the impact of OPPS packaging on drug administration overall payments, the importance of reviewing your MAC’s local coverage determination guidance, and hot audit topics.
