Health Information Management Services
Health Information Management (HIM) is the heart of the revenue cycle. This department manages and converts the clinical information into financial information on a timely basis for inpatients and outpatients. Mindseeker can assist in resolving your challenges and partner with you to plan for the future.
The Challenge
HIM is the crossroads of clinical information and financial reporting. The department strives to maintain documentation completion and timely coded episodes of care for inpatients and outpatients with high quality. At times, the efforts to quickly get cases coded results in coding errors, incomplete documentation, and opportunities to increase reimbursement.
Our Services
Mindseeker can assess all aspects of your departmental operations to identify ways to improve chart completion, release of information, electronic heart record implementation, clinical documentation integrity (CDI), and coding. Mindseeker also can provide on-site or remote coding education and audit services, including detailed coding, MS-DRG/APR-DRG validation, on-going monitoring, and compliance reviews for inpatient and outpatient services.
