Lecture

Training physicians about how their documentation in patient records affects their professional fee reimbursement is a key benefit to the physician. In addition, this training is a prime benefit to the hospital if additional physicians cooperate because they appreciate the hospital providing them with this information (Russo 2001).

Review figure 13.1 & 13.2 found in Ch 13 in your text.  Do you see the examples of progress notes showing how documentation, that is added to the hospital record to bring the note into compliance for high-quality clinical documentation also affects the physician's professional fee.  How can we CDI positive influence physicians? How can CDI use the metrics to develop physician report cards? Table 13.2 is one way to evaluate physician CDU understanding.
