Not only is technology changing how the medical record is formatted, but it is also changing how CDI and coding professionals perform their duties. A 2015 article published by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA, Weinberg, J, et. al) defined computer-assisted coding (CAC) as the use of computer software that automatically generates a set of medical codes for review and validation, based upon the clinical documentation of healthcare practitioners. Furthermore, “CAC includes a variety of computer-based approaches that do not require human interaction to transform narrative text in clinical records into structured text, which may include assignment of codes from standard terminologies such as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM/PCS, CPT/HCPCS, and SNOMED CT.”. However, the article also warns,
Specifically, the Coding Guidelines state: For reporting purposes, the definition for “other diagnoses” is interpreted as additional conditions that affect patient care in terms of requiring: Increased nursing care and/or monitoring.
Another situation to consider is related to the ability to copy notes within the EMR. I have reviewed many records in which documentation from the history and physical (H&P) is copied forward into the discharge summary. Although this may be a time-saver for the provider, it is problematic when the H&P states that a patient is admitted for “possible pneumonia” or “suspected sepsis” – or any other condition that is, understandably, uncertain at the time of admission. However, when this documentation is copied into the discharge summary, many coders erroneously invoke the Official Coding Guidelines regarding the reporting of uncertain diagnoses:
Keep in mind that the Official Coding Guidelines state, “the assignment of a diagnosis code is based on the provider’s diagnostic statement that the condition exists.”. A code title is not the same as a diagnostic statement, and it doesn’t support the condition as reportable. Another situation to consider is related to the ability ...
