MEDITECH Physician Documentation

Cornerstone Advisors can help you create the clinical content and design documentation templates

which improve charge capture while enhancing physician satisfaction and throughput.

Our Physician Documentation design process begins with a comprehensive analysis of physician documentation

habits, patterns and workflows. Our method and approach focuses on assuring documentation efficiency to maxi-

mize physician throughput while ensuring the capture of meaningful information to support clinical quality and

charge capture objectives. Our methodology addresses the human, workflow, and technology components, and

avoids unnecessary workarounds due to design, implementation, or training oversights.

How do I achieve the design balance between documentation efficiency and clinical completeness

using template and exception base documentation methods?

Cornerstone’s Clinical Content experts will

work directly with your physicians, clinical staff,

and coders to ensure the right balance. Our

approach to design and implementation

enables you to realize improvements in docu-

mentation completeness while improving

throughput and efficiency.

Understanding physicians’ needs through the

analysis of workflows and current documenta-

tion patterns, followed by the design of templates that enable physicians to efficiently document clinically

relevant information is key. This information must portray a clear, concise and accurate picture of the patient’s

status as well as support the downstream data needs of the facility and its caregivers.

The following principles and considerations are consistently applied to every Cornerstone Advisors’

Physician Documentation design effort:

Patient Care and Clinical Outcomes

Physician to Physician Communication

The Current Documentation Culture

Physician & Hospital Practices

Legal Requirements & Hospital By-Laws

The Role of HIM / Medical Records

Billing & Coding Requirements

Cornerstone Advisors understands the importance of complete and accurate, clinically meaningful documentation

that facilitates relevant communication of patient care and status, is legally sound, and does not hinder workflow and

throughput is critical to success. Let us help you achieve success with your Physician Documentation efforts.
