IN COORDINATION WITH
NORTH AMERICAN HEALTH CARE 2
Objectives
• PARTICIPANTS WILL:• Follow-up on prior requirements for Quality
Documentation• Identify the schedule for audits and related findings
in coordination with other audit• Identify all the audits and if there is duplication how
to manage that toward accurate quality documentation.• Identify training and other needs• Identify new approaches and also what is 100%
audit 3
Objectives -2
• PARTICIPANTS WILL (cont.)• Peer Review – what is it?• Clinical Documentation Improvement – defined and
how can we use to reduce ‘ole fashion’ audits• Findings and action plans from workshop reviews.• Quality Assurance – what is you role and how are
you carrying it out?• MDS Filing – identify questions and solutions• Solutions to your workshop “best practices”
4
Audit Schedule
• Identify the required audits• Identify the period audits• What is your coverage and cross-training like?• What is your follow up system• Is it effective.

6
Healthcare (CDI) Consumer & Agency is Unique• In their services• Staff skill set• Combination of medical conditions• Services
7
North American Facilities
• Number of admissions• Complexity of the healthcare conditions• Proactive clinical review process
8
Focus of Most CDI Programs
• Improving the quality of clinical documentation regardless of its impact on revenue or care• Facilitating an accurate representation of
healthcare inservices• Through complete & accurate
reporting/documentation of care• Diagnoses to support that care & clinical procedures• Facilities communication
9
CDI Processes Proactive Review of Documentation• Documentation is reviewed near when it
happens• There is a facilitated process to clarify the
services and documentation• Need to capture quality documentation near the
point of care to support those services.• Challenge is obtaining that quality documentation• Collecting some standardized data to compare the
quality documentation• Taking action on those findings
10
Record Review Historically
• Data collection occurred after the resident discharged• Retroactive audit processes• Monitoring proactive Clinical Documentation
Improvement
11
CDI Process
• Proactively (not post or after the fact audit the next day or an “auditor” coming in• Real time activity close enough to the situation
that clarification/completion of documentation
12
Examples of Suggestions for Most High-Risk Areas• Self actualization• Self checking• Cross review by the caregivers• Medical Records involvement more proactive
or near the activity, i.e., change of condition review more often during the day, not wait until the next morning
13
CDI
• Downside to this proactive involvement by nursing and cross-checking themselves is “we do not have time”
14
Medical Records
• Utilize monitoring tools• How and when these monitoring tools are
used is the challenge
15
Methods of Implementing a CDI Process• Changing the method of when the monitoring
would be carried out• From post audit to near real time
• Add some admission clinical criteria for review, i.e. for Medicare coverage by diagnosis/covered type• Change of condition review to be carried out
more frequently each day not during that day, i.e., a.m., p.m. before end of shift and late in the evening
16
Methods -2
• Qualitative Treatment audit carried out• Immediately following Treatment rounds each
week• By the RN Supervisor and/or HIM/Record staff
immediately• For example, review the ‘qualitative treatment criteria’
• Discharge, if resident discharge to home• Post discharge plan of care completed• Reviewed by another nurse• Complete and meets requirements
17
Methods -3
• Discharge, if resident discharge to home (cont.)• Notification to HIM/Records Department to review
record before discharge• Send information to physician along with discharge
telephone order or sign while in-house
• All discharges
18
Method -4
• Current NAHC processes that changed into a CDI, i.e., change of condition, admission, discharge, qualitative treatment medication/treatment documentation, behavior drugs, Medicare coverage review, weekly licensed nursing notes.• Tracking certs/recerts and follow-up
physician, physician’s visits• 100% audit – Review examples
19
