CDI and PSI webinar August 22!
Patient Safety Indicators (PSI) have been a measure of the quality of care provided by hospitals for years. Changes in Medicare inpatient reimbursement strategies have tied performance on some PSIs to reimbursement. Because many PSIs are associated with events that can be considered complications of care, it is imperative for clinical documentation to precisely represent the patient’s acuity and accurately correspond to codes that reflect the clinical scenario. Expanding current CDI efforts to consider the impact of documentation on PSIs can minimize performance issues, allowing the organization to better identify and address clinical practice variability.
Join Cheryl Ericson, MS, RN, CCDS, CDIP, and Michelle Wieczorek, RN, RHIT, CPHQ, for a 90-minute webinar on how clinical documentation can ensure accurate capture of patients’ acuity and corresponds to codes that reflect the clinical scenario.
At the conclusion of this program, you will be able to:
- Identify strategies for CDI to recognize potential PSIs during concurrent review
- Examine coding guidelines and Coding Clinic requirements for reporting complications of care
- Explain the concepts of inclusion and exclusion criteria for PSIs
- Describe the relationship between PSIs and Medicare’s value-based reimbursement strategy
- Recognize the importance of risk adjustment within the PSI 90 measure population
