ForwardUtilization Management and Clinical Documentation for Hospitalists
Summary
Accurate clinical documentation has never been more crucial. Hospitalists face a full spectrum of medical conditions in their careers. Regardless of a provider’s level of experience, the addition of new standards and policies, in both number and complexity, necessitate continued education. Utilization Management and Clinical Documentation for Hospitalists is an educational program on clinical documentation. It is broken into two modules. The first is a two-part didactic covering the fundamental principles of both utilization management and clinical documentation. The second is a module of six case studies that walks participants through common diagnoses in Hospital Medicine to illustrate clinical documentation and status determinations using the standard of medical necessity.
Goal
Hospitalists will be able to produce more accurate and comprehensive clinical documentation, which will help ensure quality patient care and proper reimbursement for the level of care provided.
Target Audience
This series is for any hospitalist physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant who manages patients in the hospital setting.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this series, participants will be better prepared to:
- Compare different patient status classifications and appreciate how this status can affect quality outcomes and cost burden to both patients and the hospital.
- Recognize how improved clinical documentation can impact quality metrics both for the hospital and individual provider and affect appropriate reimbursement to reflect care rendered.
- Identify principles of clinical documentation and patient status classifications learned and integrate them through clinical vignettes for medical necessity.
