The shift to value-based reimbursement means that both clinical documentation improvement (CDI) and coding accuracy are more important than ever before… and bridging the gap between the two teams is key! During this presentation, we’ll discuss how some of the latest technologies can help bring coding and CDI teams together to eliminate rework and maximize outcomes with a collaborative approach and a more efficient workflow.

Phil Goyeau is a Revenue Cycle Consulting Executive with 3M Health Information Systems. With more than 18 years of experience in healthcare quality and hospital operations, he brings a deep knowledge of revenue cycle solutions that enhance coding and reimbursement, maximize revenue and improve quality outcomes. Phil works with inpatient and outpatient data as a subject matter expert in risk adjustment and methodology; patient safety, performance improvement and preventable hospital services including readmissions, admissions, complications and avoidable emergency room use. He interactively engages with clients to align data analytics with industry needs and apply data to measure performance with federal and state level quality improvement mandates, such as DSRIP programs. Phil earned a Bachelor of Science in environmental biology from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

CDI: The Quality Story will focus on the impact of value-based care and its’ impact on CDI. The presentation will discuss CMS quality measure methodology and risk adjustment, the impact of coding and documentation on performance outcomes and incorporation of quality audits using a data-driven approach.

Participants will learn:

• CMS claims-based measure methodology overview including common documentation and coding vulnerabilities
• Understand data sources that can assist with the identification of cohort/risk adjustor opportunities specific to your organization
• How to gain provider buy-in through education
• Identify success measures
• Apply learnings through case studies

As hospitals across the country continue to expand their outpatient services, the gap between overall inpatient and outpatient revenue continues to shrink. This shift in the health care industry means that hospitals must take a broader approach when it comes to the most effective care path for incoming patients. While inpatient care remains a primary focus, the trends are revealing that the best course of action is to also embrace newer, more holistic models of care in which outpatient services are given justified emphasis as well.

In 2019, hundreds of clinics and hospitals nation-wide have gone offline (often for weeks at a time) from ransomware attacks. In 2020, cyber criminals have honed their targets on healthcare—specifically rural. These attacks have led to decreased quality of care and (in some instances) bankruptcies and closures. What have we learned this year? We have to change our approach in rural health to cybersecurity, data management and disaster preparedness. We’ve been too reactive for far too long. We need to rethink how we’re managing and protecting our networks by changing how we approach our big cybersecurity problem. My message to you—to beat a hacker you’ve got to start thinking like one. By looking at your systems through the eyes of a hacker, you will be better equipped at protecting your facility from growing cyberattacks and data breaches. In this talk we will walk through facilities like yours through the lens of hacker trying to get in.

The integration of clinical and financials processes and data is critical to a sustainable provider organization. This new era of revenue integrity requires close monitoring of clinicians’ ordering, documentation practices, and clinical significance, in order to ensure appropriate reimbursement, avoid denials and improve public quality reporting. Clinical documentation has never been more vital since performance-based payments are not directly linked to quality measures that required data and information.

This session is intended to discuss data driven CDI for continuous improvement through internal auditing and feedback mechanisms, collaboration with coding and providers in order to solve issues related to more efficiently merge clinical and financial processes.

Session Objectives: To improve patient care, revenue and compliance, a clinical documentation chain requires collaboration throughout the organization. Weak links anywhere along the chain will contribute to poor data quality. This presentation will describe:

-Regulatory Issues impacting healthcare
-What is Revenue Integrity
-What is Denials Management and strategies to prevent downstream revenue cycle problems
-How does CDI link Quality Measures, Care Coordination, Revenue -Integrity and Denials Prevention through ongoing data driven CDI practices
-Focus on meaningful metrics to better manage outcomes

Are you a leader in your practice or do you function more as a crisis manager? Focusing on your goals, building on your strengths and accepting your weaknesses can make you a more effective leader. This session will provide you with the tools you need to help define your goals and prioritize your work responsibilities to achieve a balance in your life.

The future of health information management is now. The presentation will take attendees time warp to examine the history of health information management through the decades and beyond. HIM professionals will be prepared for the many changes the future holds for them and the profession.
