Y1 - 2017 N1 - T2 - Principles and Practice of Hospital Medicine, 2e AB - The documentation of the inpatient episode of care follows the general principles outlined in Chapter 27: Professional Billing and Coding, and is primarily a record of the patient’s clinical experience. A number of regulatory changes in the payment for hospital facility care have occurred over the past decades which subtly change the documentation requirements and may lead to increased interactions of hospitalists with others in the hospital systems such as clinical documentation improvement (CDI) and utilization review (UR) personnel. A better understanding of these regulatory changes and their impact on both facility reimbursement and patient financial liability will help the hospitalist document care more completely. In addition, there will be fewer interruptions and queries, less back-end work for facilities and fewer surprises for the patients when their hospital bills arrive.
