You’ve taken the time to complete a painstaking audit of a provider, combing through their documentation on an EHR or maybe even navigating through a handful of handwritten notes. You’ve calculated their score – it doesn’t look too good – and now it’s time for that most important step of the audit process: provider education.
What good is a carefully conducted audit, or even a carefully written audit report, if the provider who was the object that audit doesn’t receive the proper education? Ultimately, the purpose of an audit, as part of an effective compliance program, is to assess whether providers are complying with the rules, and crucially, to implement steps that will correct non-compliance and develop better coding and documentation habits.
