Emergency Department
Documentation

Efficient, complete and legible ED nursing documentation
is critical for patient care, legal protection and proper reimbursement. The implications of
hurried, incomplete or inaccurate documentation are significant. Malpractice
claims, EMTALA violations and
lost
revenue all can result from poor nursing documentation the Emergency
Department.
We can help your hospital in two
ways:
1. Documentation Review / Audits
Over 85% of hospitals under-code for emergency department services. Our ED
Chart
Documentation review services are the cost-effective way to correct this. In
addition, a regular chart documentation review by an outside party is an excellent
corporate compliance and risk management measure.
Our
certified emergency nursing consultants will review your charts for all of the
following:
Performed on-site or off-site, we will
review your emergency nursing documentation promptly
and for a low, per chart fixed fee. You will receive a complete, easy-to-read
report which will be useful to document the pertinent issues and/or effect
change.
Whether your issue is
lost
revenue, compliance or quality of care, our Emergency Nurse Documentation Review
service is the solution.
2. Vendor Selection
(Charting, Tracking, Order Entry)
If
your Emergency Department hasn't addressed your ED documentation needs in the
past 2 years, you should do so immediately. The market for
charting, tracking and order entry products has blossomed recently and many newer, more reliable and
cost-effective solutions are available.
We
can help your ED managers sort through the competing documentation products for
both physicians and nurses and choose the solution that is best for your
facility. We have experience with all of the major ED charting and tracking systems
and can independently verify the strengths and weaknesses of each.
For
a decision that will affect each and every patient, your throughput time,
patient satisfaction scores, malpractice risk and the hospital's bottom line, it
makes sense to call in the experts.
