Detailed documentation is the key to PDGM success, and early results show agencies are missing the mark. During this webinar, you will discover tips and tricks for obtaining better information from physicians, including how to create a compliant query and when a query is (and isn’t) appropriate. You’ll learn how to “lead from the middle” and help clinicians understand exactly what information coders need from the documentation. Plus, you’ll get insight into ways to obtain more detail from intake and how to work with coding managers and QA staff to get this information.
