Strategies and tools for improving transcription and documentation.
Failure to accurately document care provided is a significant threat to hospital revenue and compliance. What's more, it's only expected to become more important as documentation efforts grow increasingly more sophisticated to respond to the requirements of severity-based payment, as is being seen with Medicare severity-based diagnosis-related groups (MS-DRG). With this in mind, the following discussion, sponsored by 3M Health Information Systems, explores use of process change and technology to improve transcription and clinical documentation activities. Hospital executives also share their strategies for engaging physicians in these efforts and optimizing technology investments.
