Sepsis: Resolving Documentation and Coding Conflicts Through CDI.

In this extended webinar, CDI experts Cesar Limjoco, MD and Shelly McBrayer BSN, RN, CCM, CCDS, will help participants understand sepsis pathophysiology as well as the coding concerns related to sepsis documentation. Attendees will also learn how the team at Chesapeake Regional Healthcare in Virginia tackled their query and documentation concerns, getting specific techniques to bring back to their facilities.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to: 

• Understand sepsis pathophysiology
• Differentiate between bloodstream infection and sepsis
• Describe the difference between organ dysfunction and failure
• Clarify sepsis vs. severe sepsis conditions
• Assist in sepsis denials management
• Explain coding regulations related to sepsis-type conditions
