Clinical Documentation and Physician Burden

Executive Dialogue

Aligning technologies with physician workflows

Clinical documentation plays a critical role in providing, coordinating and paying for care. Efforts to reduce physician documentation burden create more time for patient care, help to improve physician engagement and enhance the integrity and quality of documentation. Knowing the impact of diagnoses on quality care measures and hospital value-based purchasing is critical to aligning clinical documentation reviews with changing reimbursement mechanisms. Improving the quality and value of clinical documentation ensures seamless care by other providers.
