title: Documentation tool can boost bottom line.
abstract: ED managers and consultants who have used documentation templates to augment their coding and billing activities say such systems enable EDs to collect all the revenue they are entitled to. Such tools, they say, offer several advantages: The more robust products understand what third-parties require to obtain optimal reimbursement. The products can prompt the ED manager to perform the tests that will yield the most revenue for a specific condition. You can further enhance the value of those products by hiring a staff member to review your charts for thoroughness and timeliness.
