Live & Recorded Virtual Event
Overview
Accurate Present on Admission (POA) coding is more than a checkbox — it directly impacts quality metrics, patient safety indicators, reimbursement, and organizational performance.
This AHIMA-aligned session is designed for HIM professionals, coders, and CDI specialists seeking to enhance coding accuracy, ensure compliance, and understand the downstream impact on quality outcomes. The session also incorporates the role of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) in documentation and coding.
What you will learn:
Regulatory requirements and best practices for POA coding
Evaluating documentation for compliant and accurate POA assignment
Addressing common coding and documentation pitfalls, including SDOH considerations
How accurate POA and SDOH capture influences quality reporting, PSIs, HACs, and risk-adjusted metrics
