Step-By-Step Guide to Managing a Successful Coding Program
Four Principles to Help HIM Directors and Coding Managers Succeed.
- (1888PressRelease) January 31, 2020 - BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS – Coding, as well as clinical documentation integrity and auditing, are often cited as areas of the greatest opportunity for revenue cycle improvement within a hospital or health network. Analyzing a coding department’s workflow, staff, training, and compliance will help enhance your revenue cycle performance.
To assist HIM Directors and Coding Managers, Libman Education has released a whitepaper: Does your Coding Team Meet Your Standard of Quality? Four Principles to Help your Coding Team Succeed. The whitepaper provides a step-by-step roadmap for HIM Directors and Coding Managers to carefully plan, evaluate and improve their coding function, thereby providing an immediate impact on the institution’s critically important revenue cycle.
“Coding is a key strategic asset of the institution’s revenue cycle and highly skilled coders provide accurate, complete and defensible results,” commented Susan Pepple, Libman Education Vice President. “While managing the coding function may be just one of the many responsibilities facing an HIM Director or Coding Manager, getting it right, thereby enabling the revenue cycle to perform as it should, requires careful planning.”
Does your Coding Team Meet Your Standard of Quality? Four Principles to Help your Coding Team Succeed asks HIM Directors and Coding Managers to consider the following:
- Are your coders meeting your exacting accuracy rates and productivity standards?
- Having hired qualified coders, how do you ensure their skills stay sharp and up-to-date?
- Are your coders fully versed in the rules that govern accurate and complete coding resulting in proper reimbursement, regardless of the setting?
- Are your coders continuing to develop their skills and expand both their areas of competence and their value to your organization?
