TOPIC TITLE: EMRs Failing to Keep Up with E/M Changes
Evaluation and Management (E/M) office visit CPT® code documentation standards revisions went into effect on January 1st, 2021 followed by revisions to the rest of the E/M code section in 2023. These revisions were designed to reduce the administrative burden of documentation and prevent unnecessary “note bloat” within the patient record due to check box driven documentation workflows within the EMR. Despite the change in guidelines, EMR templates, workflows, and practices for documenting remain largely unchanged.
Learning Objectives:
• Gain a better understanding of Medical Decision Making (MDM) and Total Time documentation requirements.
• Learn where current templates and documentation practices can be improved to support the new guidelines and eliminate required components in old templates for efficiency.
Target Audience: Revenue Cycle & HIM Directors, and IT (EMR) Leaders
Presenter:
Katie Daugherty, CPC, Director of Revenue Cycle Operations (Physician Practices), ECLAT Health Solutions
