Sign up for our new Risk Adjustment Documentation and Coding Boot Camp

CDI Blog - Volume 9, Issue 34

Risk adjustment requires coding and CDI professionals to work together as one team to ensure the capture of the most appropriate risk score for each patient.

If you’re looking for ways to expand your CDI department into outpatient settings and services—all of which can impact risk scores—you’ll find it in theRisk Adjustment Documentation and Coding Boot Camp.

The Risk Adjustment Documentation and Coding Boot Camp reviews both inpatient and outpatient coding guidelines and their application to the CMS-Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) methodology, and includes detailed instruction on the individual HCCs and identification of opportunities for improved documentation. Clinical scenarios are used to demonstrate concepts and validate learning.

This Boot Camp goes beyond just knowing how to code for a condition. It explores where coding information may be obtained as well as where to look for documentation deficiencies to improve overall risk scores. Similar to how implementing clinical documentation improvement (CDI) departments improves documentation for DRG assignment, this Boot Camp uses the same principles to improve documentation for risk adjustment.
