Many who consult with physicians and healthcare organizations treat pediatric concepts the same as they would adult acute care. They feel that the same principles apply across the board. This could not be farther from the truth. Children are not adults. Their illnesses and conditions vary from those in the adult and geriatric age groups. Children’s cardiologists are not going spend much time becoming educated on ischemic heart disease. Pediatric healthcare organizations need solutions to issues that they face in their sector.
Documentation plays a critical role in pediatric hospitals. Streamlining documentation efforts can create numerous benefits for patients, physicians, administration, as well as billing and coding staff. PDI programs can lead to an increase in patient quality scores. Greater documentation can lead to physicians and coding staff capturing more information than they would have before. Administration can see increased revenue, easier filtering and resolution of claims, and improved profiles. Pediatric clinical documentation programs can lead to increased profitability and compliance for organizations who take steps towards greater accuracy and proficiency in documentation and coding.
