Pediatric Documentation Challenges

The field of pediatric healthcare is constantly evolving, bringing with it new ideas, practices, and procedures. Though the future constantly brings new things, accurate clinical documentation will always be a necessity. In pediatric documentation, there is a vast amount of data generated every day. With multiple data streams, it is not uncommon for information to get lost in the pipeline or misinterpreted. Communication is key for accurate data. When physicians, nurses, CDI specialists, and coders are on the same page, true improvements in documentation can be made.

With ICD-10 implementation approaching, there has never been a better time to begin streamlining the documentation process. Comprehensive software, results based strategies, and a detail oriented approach make DCBA a leader in the field of pediatric clinical documentation improvement. They have helped hospitals across the country to achieve their goals and enhance their profiles, increase CMI, and improve quality scores.
