Healthy Outcomes: Clinical documentation integrity best practices for providers

Today it is more important than ever to accurately and completely document the care provided to patients. Physicians not accurately documenting what they do can lead to revenue being left on the table due to improper coding. A properly functioning clinical documentation integrity (CDI) process not only produces incremental revenue, but also positively impacts quality outcome scores, CMI, physician productivity and value-based care initiatives.

Listen to this informative Healthy Outcomes podcast episode with our Baker Tilly host, David Gregory. Key takeaways from this discussion include:
