Download or read book Clinical Documentation Enhancement Program written by Alyson D. Raines and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A medical record is generated on every patient treated in an inpatient hospital or outpatient facility such as a physician office or ambulatory care center. Information within the medical record is the primary source for determining the care a patient receives and it is the primary source of information used to determine reimbursement for care. In order for documentation to accurately reflect the condition and treatment rendered to a patient medical record documentation by healthcare providers must be timely, specific and complete. The issue of documentation is a problem in the healthcare industry. If a facility's data is not accurate, consistent and reliable; the facility is at a risk of collecting inaccurate data, which diminishes the acuity level of the patients they treat, and provides an inaccurate risk profile. As healthcare organizations recognize the importance of clinical documentation, Clinical Documentation Enhancement Programs must be evaluated to measure their impact within a healthcare facility. The major objective of the CDEP was to promote complete and accurate medical record documentation of patient care. Thus, purpose of this study was to determine whether the Documentation Enhancement Program in an academic medical center was accomplishing the program's goals.
