Avoid the DRG 'grab bag' mentality: Help the physician instead
by Glenn Krauss, BBA, RHIA, CCS,CCS-P, CPUR, FCS, PCS, C-CDIS, CCDS
The No. 1 struggle most CDI specialists face is getting physicians engaged in CDI, to provide accurate, specific, consistent documentation in the record. Unfortunately, unless healthcare is reformed to the point where bundled payments are provided for both the physician and the hospital, CDI will always be a difficult sell for physicians who get paid under a separate fee-for-service system.
