Benefits of Proper Documentation
• Improves compliance
• Improves patient care
• Improves clinical data for research and education
• Protects the legal interest of the patient, facility and
physician
• Enables proper reimbursement for services performed

Documentation Audits
• Analysis of documentation for content and
validity/medical necessity relationship
• Analysis of documentation in relationship
to coding and billing
• Identification of patterns and trends in
documentation
![Page 6: Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 - AAPCstatic.aapc.com/a3c7c3fe-6fa1-4d67-8534-a3c9c8315... · Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 Presented by: Rhonda Buckholtz, ... •Patient is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052406/5a709b9d7f8b9aa7538c2e37/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Documentation Audits
• Identification of risk areas in
documentation, i.e. illegibility or improper
use of symbols and abbreviations
• Analysis of documentation for compliance
issues
• Education and training on documentation
improvement opportunities

Supporting Medical Necessity
• Justification of care depends on
information found in the medical record
– Diagnosis codes identify circumstances of
patient encounter
– Medical record documentation must be
supportive
![Page 8: Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 - AAPCstatic.aapc.com/a3c7c3fe-6fa1-4d67-8534-a3c9c8315... · Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 Presented by: Rhonda Buckholtz, ... •Patient is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052406/5a709b9d7f8b9aa7538c2e37/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

• Does documentation support code?
• Are there policies in play?
Coding/Billing
• Does documentation support reporting requirements
• Are disease processes well documented
Quality reporting • Are operative notes
complete in information
• Have all areas of risk been identified and covered by documentation?
Compliance

“Documentation is only good if the next
physician who treats the patient can pick up
your record and know exactly what
happened”
Documentation
![Page 10: Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 - AAPCstatic.aapc.com/a3c7c3fe-6fa1-4d67-8534-a3c9c8315... · Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 Presented by: Rhonda Buckholtz, ... •Patient is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052406/5a709b9d7f8b9aa7538c2e37/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Criteria for Documentation
• Evidence-based
– Past and present diagnoses easily
accessible
– Appropriate health risk factors identified
– If not documented, easily inferred
– Patient progress and response to any
changes in treatment or revisions of
diagnosis should be documented

11
Criteria for Documentation
• Evidence-based
– Each patient encounter should include:
• Reason for the encounter with relevant
history
• Examination findings
• Diagnostic test results
• Assessments
• Clinical impressions
• Plan of care
11
![Page 12: Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 - AAPCstatic.aapc.com/a3c7c3fe-6fa1-4d67-8534-a3c9c8315... · Clinical Documentation for ICD-10 Presented by: Rhonda Buckholtz, ... •Patient is](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052406/5a709b9d7f8b9aa7538c2e37/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Criteria for Documentation
• Precision
– Example:
• Patient is seen for shortness of breath, chest
pain, fever and cough; chest xray indicates
aspiration pneumonia-physicians assessment
states pneumonia
– Complete, precise documentation would
indicate in the assessment that the patient has
aspiration pneumonia- further query of the
patient should be done to determine the cause
of the aspiration, such as food, milk, solids,
microorganisms, etc… 12
