2014 Conference, Track 5: Inpatient Psychiatry: Are There Opportunities for Documentation Improvement?
Teresa Hegard, RN, BSN, CCDS, and Emily Jazdzewski, RN, BSN, MAN, explore the too often overlooked area of psychiatry. Paying close attention to the details of this patient population can improve overall severity of illness and risk of mortality. CDI staff can emphasize the importance of the physician and staff nurse to document accordingly and accurately to improve patient outcomes. This session will identify opportunities related to borderline personality disorder, describe the impact of ICD-10 comorbid conditions related to mental health, explain the use of DSM-V documentation, and offer tips for getting staff buy-in.
