ACDIS update: Bonus podcast on OIG audit available now (sponsored by AMN Healthcare)

Government oversight and auditing with regards to documentation and coding is not new, nor is it going away. Retrospective audits and fines can't be prospectively budgeted for and can be crippling to many organizations. This is an area that should be an organized focus in CDI & coding departments to proactively safeguard revenue threats. 

In a new bonus episode of the ACDIS Podcast, Kelly Gates, director of clinical advisory solutions at AMN Healthcare, sits down with ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald to discuss the recent audit of UPMC Health Plan, Inc.

A nurse by background, Kelly has spent most of her 30-year career as a consulting leader focused within the healthcare revenue cycle. Her experience includes case management, CDI, computer-assisted coding, and hospital denials. Her special interests are in strategic planning using data and technology for healthcare reform. Kelly holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing and a master’s degree in health administration from Virginia Commonwealth University.

During the bonus episode, sponsored by AMN Healthcare, Kelly shares key takeaways from the OIG report for CDI professionals and discusses the report’s importance for the industry.
