At one time
HIM was not considered a revenue-producing department. Now it
is the ONLY revenue-producing department. Under coding only a
few records can profoundly impact your hospital’s revenues.
Over coding can lead to compliance issues and potential Medicare
audits. Failure to ensure compliance is not an option.
CARE provides
a uniquely effective solution with its exclusive 3Rs methodology.
Coding Quality Review and Education services have been the centerpiece
of our coding consulting services since 1983. From our extensive experience,
we have developed a unique 3Rs (Retrieve, Review, Refresh) approach to
Quality Enhancement
Retrieve: Automated
Record Selection or Record Identification ensures accuracy,
faster selection, and less disruption to your organization.
Review: The
Coding Review Specialist "studies" each record to
identify areas where changes are necessary. The Coding Specialist
then creates a new and easy to use report that summarizes all
data from the coding review. Supporting the entire process
is a broadly experienced Review Team (consisting of, Coding
Compliance Specialist, Data Specialist and Sr. Coding Advisor),
assuring an exceptionally thorough review and meaningful report.
Refresh: Personalized
Training ensures necessary improvements are incorporated into
each individual’s performance, and the organization's
coding procedures. The impact of the improvements is maintained,
and often expanded, over the long term. Training is conducted
in a professional, peer-oriented, mutually respectful environment
that encourages participation and learning.
