Getting the assessment right is key to clinical documentation improvement. That’s why we kick off every project with a 3-4 day on-site clinical evaluation. We bring in a team of clinical and coding professionals to study a statistically significant sampling of your DRG-based records. They closely evaluate how admissions are being categorized according to diagnosis-related groups.

We also bring in our own physicians to meet with key members of your medical staff. They explain how the program works and make the clinical case for CDMP to these members. Our physicians address what the expectations are, how the program benefits doctors, and how CDMP helps improve performance measures. This way, physicians clearly understand the program from the very beginning.

With a proper assessment in place, we can accurately project the impact our Compliant Documentation Management Program (CDMP®) will have on your CMI. Using these projections, we can guarantee the results of the program. This gives you a clear picture of the project outcomes before the implementation even begins. We typically see opportunities for improvement in 20-25% of a hospitalʼs records. This makes a very significant impact on the bottom line.
