*Please note, AHIMA CEU is no longer available for this webinar*
Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) is well-established in the inpatient arena, and is now poised to extend into outpatient encounters. Understanding what needs to be done in the outpatient setting is a daunting task, as there are dozens of stakeholders who need improvements in documentation. In this webinar, you’ll be provided with an understanding of what’s in store as CDI is extended to outpatient areas, and how to ultimately measure its success.
Topics to be covered include:
• How to leverage inpatient CDI similarities when building an outpatient CDI program
• The value of the Risk Adjustment Factor in inpatient and outpatient CDI
• Understanding the metrics and reports that are valuable for monitoring and improving CDI programs
• The importance of selecting appropriate Key Performance Indicators for measuring documentation quality for both acute (inpatient) and chronic (outpatient) care settings
