Severity of Illness and Risk of Mortality
Sharpen Your CDI Focus with New Measures of Success
Product Description:
Audio Conference on CD or Audio On-Demand
Sponsored by The Association of Clinical Documentation Specialists (ACDIS)
A program for clinical documentation improvement (CDI) professionals
presented on September 18, 2009
Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs are moving away from traditional models that use complications and comorbidities (CC) and major CCs (MCC) to capture a patient's condition.
The severity of illness (SOI) and risk of mortality (ROM) system provides a higher level of detail about a patient's condition and the care provided. Improving SOI and ROM indicators strengthens hospital quality data and physician report cards by more accurately detailing the nature of the patient's illness and expected outcome. And while those numbers are crucial to a hospital's success, an SOI/ROM focused program can also have a positive effect on revenue and help reduce compliance risk.
Listen to HCPro's 90-minute audio conference that features two speakers who have extensive experience in the CDI field. They lay the foundation for a strong SOI/ROM program and demonstrate how data is derived and used. They provide common query and clarification scenarios in the SOI/ROM system and explain commonly missed opportunities in the medical record, with an emphasis on the neurosurgery department. They also provide a case study of one hospital's successful transition to a SOI/ROM-based CDI program that you can use as a blue print to develop a successful program.
Note: This is an intermediate to advanced-level program. Participants in this audio conference should understand the workings of a clinical documentation improvement program. They should also have a basic understanding of coding concepts that govern selecting principal and secondary diagnoses.
