Defining medical record and finance department relationship.
The role of the medical record department has become more crucial under DRGs. Timeliness and accuracy of clinical data has become critical to the hospital's financial success. As a result, a new relationship is forming between the finance and medical record departments. It is therefore important that the financial manager understand the operation of this department to make that new relationship a strong one.
