The healthcare revenue cycle management begins when a patient makes an appointment for medical services and ends once all claims and payments have been made. That path is usually not, if ever, as linear as it may sound. Nor is a “one size fits all” approach the most efficient or cost-effective approach. But what is vital to any application of a strong RCM is medical record documentation.

Successful reimbursement for medical services is directly proportional to the quality of clinical documentation. Regulatory imperatives and payer guidelines focus on the medical record. Having staff in place to enter accurate clinical documentation and facilitate Clinical Documentation Improvement CDI is more important than ever and can be a challenge, especially during times of:
