CFO's Guidebook to Clinical Documentation 

There are many regulatory, legal, and accrediting association requirements that stipulate standards for clinical documentation and your clinical documentation is translated into coded data, which in turn determines your reimbursement. Inaccurate documentation means inaccurate reimbursement. If you are being reimbursed at a higher rate than the documentation supports, then you are at significant risk for noncompliance. However, if you are being reimbursed at rates below what your documentation could support, then your organization is not receiving revenue to which it is legitimately entitled.   As a leader of a healthcare organization it is incumbent upon you to understand the impact that your facility’s clinical documentation has on it’ financial health.
With the CFO’s Guidebook to Clinical Documentation learn how:

• To ensure reimbursement accurately reflects resources expended.
• Clinical documentation management impacts all care settings
• Documentation impacts severity ratings
• Clinical documentation practices affect your facility’s compliance exposure

The CFO's Guidebook to Clinical Documentation is available as part of the series Executive Guides to Clinical Documentation or the CAMP Method Training System. You may also order this guidebook directly from DJ Iber.
