Utilization Management and Clinical Documentation

Accurate clinical documentation has never been more crucial. Hospitalists face a full spectrum of medical conditions in their career. Regardless of a provider's level of experience, the addition of new standards and policies, in both number and complexity, calls for continued education. 

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this program is for you. Frontline hospitalists, practice administrators, and residents/fellows will find the program useful for understanding how payors audit their notes, knowing common pitfalls to avoid, and ensuring reimbursement is at the appropriate level for provided services. These series are developed by and for hospitalists and focus on what every hospitalist should know.

Short session lengths allow for participants to navigate the course at their own pace, while knowledge checks and a post-module quiz reinforce learning and increase retention between sessions.
