EMS Today 2019

PCR Documentation Workshop: The Good, the Bad, and the Missing! AMA Evidence-based Approach (#E9934) (Room 203AB)

**Evaluate this session**

In a recent national reimbursement conference the majority of the attendees cited “poor crew documentation” as the major source of potential liability for their EMS agency. The PCR is the backbone of revenue cycle compliance and it must be accurate, complete and objective or else you could face overpayment demands or a false claims act lawsuit. This super session will review real-life examples of ten “completed” PCRs for the most common patient conditions that ambulance services encounter – both emergency and non-emergency. We will critically dissect each of those PCRs in detail and describe what makes them good (or not so good!). We’ll provide “lessons learned” from each that can be used as key teaching points that you can take back to your field staff to help tune up the quality of your patient care documentation.
