The Data Integrity Department: Optimizing Health Information Management (Room Room 204)

No longer simply the "coding department," a modern HIM department is now the "data integrity department" and home to critical functions. HIM has emerged as a leader enabling success in value-based care and payment in medical groups. At the same time, healthcare regulations have become more stringent regarding patient privacy, clinical documentation, provider education, coding, and technical and professional billing. Now is the time for a detailed review of your HIM workflow as well as the staff who perform key HIM functions. A critical-thinking, highly trained HIM team is vitally important to ensure the long-term integrity of your EMR as well as the health of your revenue cycle. This session will help you identify gaps and supply you with a roadmap to ensure you have an efficiently-staffed team of knowledgeable, competent and trained professionals to take your HIM department to the next level practicing in value-based care environments.
