| | Hi John, As healthcare transforms from fee-for-service into quality-based alternative payment models and population payment, having a trained physician advisor for your clinical documentation improvement (CDI) program has never been so important. The Physician Advisor's Role in CDI Boot Camp is a great way to set up your PA for success! The Physician Advisor's Role in CDI Boot Camp October 7-8, 2019 | Phoenix, AZ |
For 2019, we’ve updated the Boot Camp to focus heavily on new ICD-10-CM/PCS documentation requirements and how to ensure full and accurate physician documentation for proper code assignment. We’ve also added new sections on inpatient quality measures and the physician advisor’s role in Medicare’s hospital and physician value-based purchasing programs. Participants will leave with a firm understanding of Medicare severity diagnosis-related groups (MS-DRG), Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCC), AHRQ’s Patient Safety Indicators (PSI), and other metrics pertinent to their enterprise. Goals of this boot camp also include: Explain the objectives and elements of a successful CDI program Describe the most problematic terms in ICD-10 and best practices for resolving coding versus clinical disagreements Identify common problem areas and deficiencies in medical records and physician documentation Construct optimal techniques for engaging physicians in a CDI program Develop best practices for capturing documentation in the hospital’s workflow Develop methods for maintaining compliance with various industry audit and payment agencies Identify how coded data is used for physician and hospital profiling Identify areas of opportunity for CDI in the outpatient setting We hope to see you or your PA there!
