Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and Documentation Improvement Opportunities
Best Practices for CDI and Coding Compliance
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by: Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists
Presented on October 28, 2011
CDI specialists need more than a basic understanding of the ICD-9-CM coding guidelines. They also need to know how the American Hospital Association’s Coding Clinic interprets the guidelines for proper code assignment and sequencing.
This 2-hour program introduces Coding Clinic to CDI specialists. Our speakers describe current coding advice and how it relates to CDI. They will use 2010 and 2011 Coding Clinic examples to demonstrate the impact on DRG assignment, interpretation of official guidelines, and relevance to CDI/coding activities.
Note: Listeners should have a general familiarity with CDI roles and responsibilities and general coding concepts.
At the end of the program you will be able to:
- Describe 2011 advice from Coding Clinic on ICD-9-CM codes and coding guidelines and how it relates to CDI
- Explain strategies, communication techniques, and other actions to incorporate Coding Clinic guidelines in CDI practices
- Improve data integrity through a further understanding of Coding Clinic
