ICD-10 Improvement for Physicians Requires Fast, Simple Tools | EHRintelligence.com
Author Jennifer Bresnick | Date November 5, 2014
Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) for ICD-10 is one of the perpetual pain points tormenting healthcare organizations in the lead-up to October 1, 2015. Overworked physicians are frustrated by the sheer scope of changes that they are being asked to make to their workflows and technologies, and since ICD-10 has been delayed so many times in the past, it’s difficult to get providers to register a sense of urgency when it comes to the new codes.
At Beverly Hospital in Montebello, California, Emergency Department Director Richard Garcia, MD, MPP, MHA,is anything but lackadaisical when it comes to ICD-10 preparation. As a practicing emergency department physician and passionate health IT junkie, Dr. Garcia took CDI and ICD-10 coding into his own hands, developing software templates and serving as an evangelist for better documentation that goes far beyond the requirements of the new codes.
Dr. Garcia sat down with EHRintelligence to discuss how healthcare organizations can leverage EHR tools and technologies to engage physicians in clinical documentation improvements that save time and boost efficiency across the hospital.
