Program Description

It is essential to base your clinical documentation training on the objective, well-defined theory of high quality clinical documentation (HQCD).  The theory holds that high quality documentation meets seven criteria, all derived from official sources including the Medicare Conditions of Participation, the Joint Commission, the Office of the Inspector General’s Hospital Compliance Guidance and the American Health Information Management Association’s practice briefs. These criteria (legibility, timeliness, clarity, completeness, consistency, reliability and precision) are described in detail during this session. Documentation examples of each criteria are shared with participants.
             You will learn the value of using the criteria for HCQD as a structure that physicians can process in a more scientific manner than the approaches used in traditional clinical documentation training.  You will learn how to walk physicians through the criteria and application so they can apply the criteria to their own clinical documentation practices.
