How Learning CDI Principles Can Save Your Job, Even if You’re Not a CDS
These Industry Veterans show HOW!
Hear Glenn Krauss & Ernie de los Santos review how ANY job connected to a Hospital Revenue Cycle - but especially a CODER because they can see the WHOLE RECORD - can learn enough about CDI principles to drive down avoidable Medical Necessity and other types of denials that can literally SAVE both your hospital's bottom line and hence your JOBS.
Recorded Live Wednesday, March 25 2020
Two Industry Veterans review both the WHY and the HOW of this rather contrarian thinking... their objectives are to boost audit prevention:
- Why Medical Coders are a LOT more important than even THEY think they are
- Why CDI Should resonate with Coders & vice-versa
- What is the role of Coders in partnering with CDI staff
- How can Coders influence the Quality of Clinical Documentation
And finally, they hope to inspire The Pursuit of Excellence in Coding and Clinical Documentation Improvement.
The WHY: Medical Coding is the BACKSTOP & Sees it ALL
...the Backstop for improving care, reducing admin burden and stress, securing payments, reducing real costs and preventable deaths.
The HOW: Focus on Embracing Holistic Chart Reviews
Your FOCUS determines your future... gives opportunities for improvments in communication, care and reimbursement.
Don't Forget: Your Work in a Hospital is a NOBLE CAUSE
You've worked hard to earn your Credentials, and the HONORABLE work you do every day affects lives, jobs, whole communities.
