Improvement Specialist's Handbook, 2nd Edition Softbound Book + CD-ROM
Improving documentation is no easy task. CDI professionals have never before had one easy-to-read, inclusive reference to help them implement a CDI program, understand the fundamentals of ICD-9-CM coding, query physicians, and encourage interdepartmental communication. In theory, physicians should document their entire thought process, including ruling conditions in and out. But it’s not that simple, and in light of MS-DRGs, it requires significant physician education and retraining. You need a blueprint for success, and your blueprint has arrived! At last, here is a guide for CDI specialists. The Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist’s Handbook is your essential partner for creating a CDI program, staffing your program, querying physicians, and understanding how documentation affects code selection and data quality. In light of Medicare Severity DRGs (MS-DRG), detailed
documentation and accurate capture of complications and
comorbidities (CCs) has made the CDI specialist’s role more
important and more demanding than ever. This handbook will enhance
your ability to gather the right information the first time — and
every time.
Customizable CD-ROM included! Your copy of The Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist’s Handbook includes a CD-ROM loaded with all of the working tools you’ll find in the book. Among them are:
Don’t take chances with any aspect of your CDI program. Hospitals are turning to CDI initiatives to ensure data quality and accurate reimbursement.
Learn how to obtain administrative and staff buy-in, engage clinical staff at the bedside to document the specific data you need for success, and maintain those efforts over time. This book is a must-have for: Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) specialists and managers, HIM managers, coders and coding managers, coding compliance managers, case managers, and revenue cycle managers.
