Finding and selecting the right diagnosis code is critical to revenue cycle management, decision support and reporting. Thus it’s important for healthcare organization to streamline the process, but it is not without challenges with the following reasons:
- The number of clinical codes is increasing
- Unspecified codes can lead to inaccurate reimbursement
- Getting it right the first time streamlines clinical documentation improvement (CDI) workflows and revenue cycle management
- Physician satisfaction will improve
Thus the challenge is to have a solution that let physicians easily find the correct diagnosis code but at the same time doesn’t feel like it is creating more work for them
