Kennedy will walk participants through ICD-10-CM/PCS clarification opportunities in all the inpatient Major Diagnostic Categories (including pediatrics and obstetrics) in this jam-packed day, incorporating the latest clinical criteria, Coding Clinic, and the Official ICD-10-CM/PCS Guidelines for Coding and Reporting updates.

The program is fully updated and revised from 2016. Physician Advisor 101 will provide an exhaustive introduction to everything the new and seasoned physician advisor needs to know, including enlisting physician buy-in, intervening with problematic physicians and query opportunities, and managing audits and denials.
Or: Track 2: Holistic Documentation Improvement: The Physician Advisor as Change Agent
Brand-new for 2017 is Holistic Documentation Improvement: The Physician Advisor as Change Agent. Attendees will learn not only best practice for physician advisors to CDI, but crucially, how a physician advisor can transfer that knowledge to the medical staff and other providers. Erica E. Remer, MD, FACEP, CCDS, a veteran developer of educational sessions on documentation, reimbursement, clinical documentation integrity, and ICD-10, will convey proven methods to give providers feedback on their documentation, how to handle the query escalation process, and educational techniques for engaging busy physicians. This session will also delve into the physician advisor’s role in denials management, HCCs, and how to get providers to “tell the story” in the health record.
