DocuComp Webinars

The DocuComp LLC’s “CDI Masterclass” webinar provides an in-depth look at the evolving field of Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) and the importance of accurate, patient-centered documentation in healthcare. The session, led by expert speakers Glenn Kraus, Dr. Keith Stokes, and Dr. Cesar Limjoco, highlights key challenges and advancements within CDI.

Glenn Kraus, an authority on revenue cycle management, stresses that current CDI practices often miss the mark by focusing on task-based metrics rather than sustainable documentation quality. He advocates for moving beyond repetitive processes and embracing a holistic approach that emphasizes collaboration and proactive denial avoidance.

Dr. Keith Stokes addresses the time constraints and lack of training that hinder effective physician documentation. He emphasizes that clinicians often document for communication among peers rather than for medical necessity, leading to gaps in accuracy. Stokes calls for systematic education and training to help clinicians better document patient care.

Dr. Cesar Limjoco discusses three pillars for successful CDI programs: symbiosis, continuing education, and technology. He underscores the importance of collaboration across all stakeholders and the role of ongoing training to align on CDI best practices. Limjoco also highlights patient-centered documentation as crucial, warning against an over-reliance on technology without a foundation of human insight.

The session concludes with an introduction to DocuComp’s one-year CDI Masterclass program, designed to provide ongoing education for healthcare professionals. This series aims to equip professionals with essential CDI skills and strategies to optimize revenue integrity, improve patient care, and reduce denial rates.
