SIGHTSEEING #SELFIES

Patient Care Documentation Brought to Life: Walking PSA Friday, August 7, 2015

Join us on Friday evening after the reception for a casual night out of sightseeing. Wearing your 2015 AHDI advocacy shirt (COMING SOON!), gather your friends and people you meet at the conference to head into Washington, DC, or Old Town Alexandria to explore the city.

Your challenge for the evening: Wearing your advocacy shirt, take selfies as you sightsee and post them to Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #BroughtToLife. The AHDI team will collect the photos, with fun surprises planned for Saturday at the conference. Plus, your photos will be posted on AHDI’s Your Record Speaks website as part of our ongoing advocacy campaign.

While you’re out exploring, you will be communicating an important message via your t-shirt: accurate health records save lives. Think of this as a walking public service announcement (PSA) to build awareness and prompt people to think about their health records, which are often ignored until there’s an emergency.

We hope you will join us for an evening of awareness-building fun!

Consequences

Andrew Rothschild, MD, MS, MPH CEC: 1 ML or 1 PD

The Power of Narrative

Dori Whittaker CEC: 1 TW

While the healthcare industry continues the transition to EHR systems, hospitals need to remember the value that transcription plays in capturing complete patient stories. This session will address the technologies that take transcribed documents and turn the unstructured narrative into encoded HL7 CDA-compliant records, and how transcription paired with natural language understanding can lead to better patient care and educate physicians on how to document more effectively.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how dictation and transcription benefits the patient and the physician.

2. Describe how natural language processing of transcribed documents is being leveraged by healthcare facilities to assess clinical documentation improvement areas.

3. Understand how using the results of natural language processing can help educate users to document more effectively.

Engaging Your Physicians to Improve Documentation

John Zelem, MD, FACS CEC: 1 ML or 1 PD

Since the use of EMR and CDI technologies alone can't capture complex medical factors such as history and comorbidities, the severity of signs and symptoms, current medical needs, and the risk of adverse events, it is crucial that hospital leaders work with clinicians to drive strong documentation practices to ensure defensible admission decisions and eliminate potential risk for a pattern of non-compliance and inappropriate billing. This session will feature tangible next steps to elevate the quality of documentation and engage physicians in the process.


1. Bridge the gap in documentation interpretation (from clinical documentation specialists to physicians to coders)

2. Identify strategies that leverage real-time reinforcement of thorough physician documentation practices that will support medical necessity and accurate coding

3. Equip teams with tools and processes that validate the chart has been updated completely after identifying gaps from physician documentation

QA Case Study: Hospital Implementation of a New Healthcare

Documentation QA Program

Leigh Anne Frame, CHDS, AHDI-F, and Christine Tyrrell, MSCS CEC: 1 MTT

Get an up-close look at how Bryan Medical Center (Lincoln, NE) implemented a new quality assurance (QA) process to measure, track, and improve the quality of healthcare documentation produced through both traditional transcription methods and various clinician-created documentation techniques using different technology platforms. Understand the goals, challenges, thought-process, results, and value of such a program.

Health Story Project Progress

Nick Mahurin CEC: 1 ML

AHDI helped launch the Health Story Project (HSP) to advocate the importance of narrative notes and to build a bridge from transcribing narrative-only notes to including structured data as needed for EMRs and eventually for Meaningful Use. HSP developed Consolidated-CDA standards and successfully advocated for their inclusion in Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements.

As C-CDA becomes increasingly known and accepted, technologies are being built around the standards to fill essential gaps in documentation practices. HSP updates will include recent accomplishments, implementation milestones, and how these developments will affect the healthcare documentation workforce.


1. Workforce development: How the role of the HDS can and will morph to accommodate structured data.

2. Industry Health: How the legacy transcription industry can reposition itself to provide data in forms required by Meaningful Use.

3. Advocacy: How narrative is poised to make a come-back.

Keep It Simple! Applying Basic Security and Compliance

Principles to Protect Patient Information

Olivia Rose Jenkins, CISSP, CPEHR, CPHIT, CCSK, PCI QSA CEC: 1 ML

According to Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, an estimated 10.3 million patient records were compromised due to data theft and loss. Hacking isn't solely responsible for these data breaches; in fact, many are the direct result of basic human error. In this session, a healthcare security expert will show you how to apply basic security and privacy best practices to your work as well as the work of those around you.


1. Hear why the healthcare industry is rife with data compromise events.

2. Understand common security and privacy mistakes that can be easily remedied.

3. Learn how to apply the core principles of data security standards like HIPAA-HITECH and PCI.

4. Learn how to encourage your peers to also follow these principles and practices.

Malpractice Risks of the EHR

Marion Munley, Esq. CEC: 1 ML

Heralded as a way to improve healthcare practices, EHRs can have unintended consequences that can be deadly. Improvements in technology have spurred the growth of medical technology companies pitching EHR as a way for medicine to enter the technological age. In addition, laws such as the Affordable Care Act give doctors and hospitals incentive to embrace these technologies at a hurried pace, potentially leading to mistaken or

missing inputs and an overreliance on untested technology.


1. Identify areas that potentially expose EHR adaptors to “EHR malpractice.”

2. Recognize the limitations of EHR—from software to users.

3. Address client needs more fully by being better able to identify opportunities for improvement and the resulting benefits to clients.

Collaborating for Quality: How Healthcare Documentation

Specialists and Clinical Documentation Improvement

Specialists Can Work Together for Content Improvement

Jill Devrick, MPA, and Susan E. Belley, M.Ed., RHIA, CPHQ

CEC: 1 ML or 1 MTT

As healthcare organizations work toward ICD-10 preparedness, they are also adopting and adapting to new technologies and workflows for documentation capture. In this session, the presenters will use examples of common issues discovered by CDIs when evaluating documentation for ICD-10 preparedness. They will suggest how to enlist HDSs to determine how documentation capture tools and processes can be improved to resolve each scenario. Utilizing both CDIs and HDSs, organizations can build a strong documentation quality improvement cycle in which common CDI queries can be reduced or eliminated over time.


1. Describe the roles and goals of both healthcare documentation specialists (HDSs) and clinical documentation improvement specialists (CDIs) and how they fit into the documentation capture workflow within healthcare organizations.

2. Highlight common documentation issues discovered by CDIs as they prepare for ICD-10 implementation.

3. Describe various documentation capture scenarios that may contribute to poor content quality.

4. Illustrate how common documentation issues can be addressed by HDSs through collaboration with CDI.
