  There is a plethora of data and information in the health sector, and it keeps growing every day. There is no doubt that adequate health data management is essential to the optimal provision of healthcare services to patients.  Making this plethora of information accessible to patients and healthcare providers to improve the administration of healthcare services while keeping them safeguarded for security purposes has been a point of focus for many years.  It has led to the adoption of some measures by the governing bodies to make health information easily accessible to patients and healthcare providers. Such measures involve the recent passage of the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology cures final act rule and the Centers for Medicare Risk Adjustment Coding  & Medicaid Services interoperability and patient access final rule.  The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) passed the Cures Ac...

This would guarantee that HSPs are fairly compensated and help with the proper classification of diseases. To read more information about Risk Adjustment Coding , visit our website.

  Down in the trenches of Medicare Advantage primary care, most providers in the business know the importance of HCC coding. However, for the busy practitioner who is taking care of the patient and dealing with an alphabet soup of mandates such as HEDIS, STAR, HCAHPS, etc, it is quite a task to pay attention to HCC coding in real-time. As a result, providers fall short and have to answer then queries from coders re HCC codes that may have been missed. The answer to this problem may lie in an EHR- integrated tool which can provide real-time HCC medical coding guidance to the provider. Such a tool would intelligently analyze the chart as the provider is seeing the patient and suggest appropriate HCC codes. The provider could then add the codes and plan of care to the encounter, before leaving the exam room. We believe we have built just such a real-time  HCC coding   software tool called HCC Assistant. This application is integrated with multiple EHRs and through the integr...

  The ONC and CMS proposed a new interoperability regulation in February of this year, and it seems to be a game-changer for patients, providers, and software companies like ours. It's better late than never given that the federal government has spent tens of billions of dollars attempting to convince healthcare providers to jump on the electronic health record (EHR) bandwagon with, at best, dubious outcomes. Here is my perspective as the CEO of a newly founded clinical decision support company that will profit from the rule once it is put into place. When I founded Inferscience, I had the goal of integrating with EHRs, analyzing the patient data in the record, and giving the doctor sound, evidence-based suggestions or guidelines for the patient's care. The fact that providers take a lot of time to enter data into EHRs is well known. Some of my medical colleagues spend more time entering data than they do care for patients. One would therefore hope that patient data serves purp...

  When it comes to clinical documentation, today’s healthcare providers have more to worry about than simply capturing their patients’ diagnoses and services rendered. Provider groups of all sizes are assuming risk in value-based contracts, and with that comes complicated coding and clinical documentation requirements driven by programs such as Medicare Advantage. Risk adjustment documentation is difficult without the use of electronic health records, so clinicians are increasingly tied to the computer to successfully manage patients enrolled in risk-based plans. Once hailed as the solution to save time spent researching and recording patient information, EHRs are implicated as a leading cause of physician burnout. About 54% of U.S. physicians experience burnout tied to EHR use, and that percentage will likely increase as HCC coding requirements are added to their already documentation-heavy workflows. The first in a series of three, this blog post discusses the basics of HCC codin...
