It’s Time to Resharpen Our Inpatient Skills.

It’s been almost 4 years since ICD-10 launched and we, as coders and auditors, may already find ourselves becoming complacent from time to time. Whether we feel that spending extra time to review medical records is an unwanted burden, or querying our providers takes too much time, each of these short cuts represent missed opportunities.

As financial scrutiny of hospitals continues to increase, regulations continue becoming more complex. This is no time for any of us to rest on our laurels. Trust me, I get it: we’re overworked, and sometimes feel under-appreciated. But the need for detailed and experienced inpatient coders and auditors continues to surge. So, I implore you to sweat every detail.

But sometimes, we could all use a refresh on skills we’ve long since learned. Whether you need to be brought up to speed on how to view medical records in detail, or relearn the fine art of coding conditions correctly, we’ve got just the answer. Watch this on-demand webinar, The Complete Guide to Improving Your Inpatient Coding and Auditing, where we cover all things inpatient, including:
