Managing the medical record on a concurrent basis: facts and possibilities.
In 1987, six Yale graduate students set out to study the concurrent review methods used in key hospitals across the US. They examined the advantages and disadvantages of concurrent review and the tie-in of medical record concurrent review coding with utilization review activities. The first part of their report is published this month, with the conclusion appearing next month.
