2014 Conference, Track 6: Success Strategies Associated With Bridging Clinical Documentation Gaps in the Electronic Record

Cassi Birnbaum, MS, RHIA, CPHQ, FAHIMA, and Michael Yanuck, MD, FAAFP will chronicle their EHR journey to illustrate how electronic notes quickly snowballed, detracting from new information while  becoming unreadable to other physicians. Best practice solutions and approaches with specific documentation will be showcased—including the development of specialty-specific templates to facilitate patient care communication, the transition to ICD-10 required diagnoses and procedural specificity, and the capture of meaningful use measures.
