Documentation Improvement for Post-operative Complications
Understand Coding Guidelines and Overcome Challenges
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by: Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists (ACDIS)
Presented on Friday, July 8, 2011
It’s crucial to understand the difference between clinical and coding definitions for post-operative complications if you want documentation that accurately captures the patient’s condition and services provided.
During this two-hour audio conference, you'll get tips to help physicians understand the differences between clinical language and the guideline-driven specific details required for coding.
Our expert speakers address differences in clinical v. coding definitions of post-operative conditions and provide a list of sample phrases and a sample post operative query language that will be effective in getting physician response. You’ll also learn strategies to work with physicians who don’t understand what's lacking in documentation they already provided.
Note: This is an intermediate-level program.
At the end of the program you will be able to:
- Explain CMS’ official definition of complications—and compare them to those of profiling agencies
- State the different coding and clinical definitions of post-operative complications
- Describe the impact of ICD-10 on coding and documentation for surgical complications
