When it comes to ongoing records review (ORR), you know that an automated process makes the effort not only easier, but results in fewer errors and improved success during a JCAHO survey.

Automating Ongoing Records Review, Second Edition, is your practical guide to strengthen your automated ORR program. Since the last edition, there are new software packages, programs, and partially or totally automated systems on the market that can assist you and your healthcare organization in automating ORR. Authors Raymond S. Pinder, MS, RHIA, and Frank H. Osborne, PhD, are back with an updated version of their popular title.

To be successful with an automated process, you need the most comprehensive reference to be your guide.

With this book you also get a CD-ROM loaded with examples and templates to help save you hours of time developing forms and reports. You'll get a concise and easy-to-understand explanation of tracer methodology and a template to conduct a patient tracer using ORR criteria.

Why Automate ORR? Automating ORR allows you to use customized, scanable, computerized, and automated worksheets and programs and alleviates the time constraints imposed by paper and pencil. An automated system allows you to: avoid duplication of efforts generate data that represent actual activities and results that you can analyze and turn into meaningful reports create reports, graphs, and charts that you can update from month to month produce reports that are reader-friendly and easy to understand

Automating Ongoing Records Review, Second Edition, is designed to be used with basic software packages you're probably already using, such as Word and Excel. You'll save time and improve your productivity and consistency through automating your ORR.

Save time and improve reporting accuracy. What previously took you six to 20 hours with your paper process can now take you less than two hours with Automating Ongoing Records Review: Second Edition. Are you still creating your worksheets from scratch each month? You'll learn how to create one worksheet that you can easily update throughout your ORR process. Saving between 50 to 85% of the time spent on your ORR process will allow you to focus on other important tasks, such as staff education or documentation improvement.

Calculations done by hand with a calculator can carry up to a 10% error rate. If you use a paper ORR process, that translates to a potential error rate of 12 to 25 errors per calculation page! Automating Ongoing Records Review, Second Edition shows you how to use your worksheets to automate these calculations. The actual division and placement of the answer in the correct space is predetermined, thus drastically reducing errors.

Craft a professional presentation that really hits home. Instead of handing the ORR committee a lengthy report loaded with confusing numbers, you can design bar graphs and charts with a few clicks of the keyboard and mouse, and present information in a new format.

Automating Ongoing Records Review, Second Edition, is a must-have for HIM, quality improvement, and compliance professionals. It is an important resource for medical directors, long-term care, behavioral health, and ambulatory care facilities, and every healthcare office that generates and maintains medical records and needs to move from the paper record to the automated age and to meet JCAHO compliance.
