-Public Reporting-Reimbursement-Physician Scorecards-Quality Improvement
What’s in it for me?• Better reflection of the quality of the care you
provided to your patient• A more accurate assessment of the Severity of Illness
(SOI) i.e. how sick your patient was during the hospitalization
• Improves your publicly reported quality measure scores
• Supports the improvement of your patient’s clinical outcomes and safety
• Enables a better capture of SOI (severity of illness) and ROM (risk of mortality)

What should be documented?
5
ReimbursementAdmit
• HPI: tell “the story”
• PMH: all chronic conditions in as much detail as available (e.g., Chronic Systolic CHF)
• PSH: all surgeries (e.g., left hip arthroplasty)
• Assessment and Plan:• Differential diagnosis• Working diagnoses• Other conditions being
treated
Daily
• Rule out or confirm differential diagnosis based on test results, imaging results and response to empiric treatment.
Discharge
• All treated/resolved diagnoses should be documented.
• For diagnoses that are documented as suspected, possible, probable at the time of discharge should be listed in the discharge summary.
No Matter How Obvious it is to the Clinician• It is not appropriate for the coder to report a diagnosis based on abnormal findings:
– Laboratory
– Pathology
– Imaging
• A query must be sent to document a definitive diagnosis
• Only a physician can establish a cause and effect relationship between a diagnosis such as gastroparesis and diabetes
• Possible, probable and suspected conditions can be reported, but ONLY if documented at the time of discharge (for inpatient records)
• Outpatient Surgical and Observation Records: Enter as much information as known at the time.
Patient with shortness of breath and lung nodule. Coded to shortness of breath and lung nodule.
Patient with shortness of breath and lung nodule, suspected lung cancer with pathology pending. Coded to shortness of breath and lung nodule.
We would not code a possible condition as an established diagnosis on outpatient records.
What Coders are Unable to Assume

Key Changes Needed to Support ICD-10 Coding
Acute Kidney Failure/Injury• Document etiology, if known or suspected, such
as:- Acute tubular, cortical, or medullary necrosis- Postprocedural- Posttraumatic- With transplant kidney
• Be clear on your intended diagnosis. Note that “acute renal insufficiency” results in an “unspecified” code.
• Do not use abbreviations AKI or ARF8
Bladder Dysfunction
• Document any associated urinary incontinence– Neuromuscular bladder dysfunction with
urge incontinence
9
BPH• Document all
associated urinary tract symptoms– BPH with urinary
frequency & obstruction
10
Vesicoureteral Reflux
• Document if with– Nephropathy– Hydroureter– Congenital– Pyelonephritis (and
causative organism)– Unilateral or bilateral
Cystitis• Document any presence or absence of
hematuria• Document type, such as:
– Acute – Chronic– Interstitial– Trigonitis
• Document causative organism, when known or suspected, such as E. coli or Candida
11
Male Erectile Dysfunction• Document cause, such as:
– Vasculogenic• Due to arterial insufficiency• Due to corpora-venous occlusive disease• Due to a combination of both of the above
• Document cause, such as:– Due to other disease, for example, diabetes– Drug-induced
• Document cause, such as:
Post-surgical– Due to simple/radical prostatectomy– Due to radical cystectomy– Due to urethral surgery– Due to other surgery
12
Neoplasms• Document site and laterality such as:
– Lung– Prostate– Kidney– Breast– Colon
• Differentiate between primary and secondary (metastatic) site– Document primary site and if it is still present treated or in
remission• For secondary sites:
– Document final pathology results• Document final pathology results
– EVEN IF RECEIVED AFTER THE PATIENT IS DISCHARGED WITH A LATE ENTRY DATED AS NEEDED
• Document if neoplasm is benign or malignant13
Urethral Stricture• For male, document anatomical site as:
– Meatal– Bulbous– Urethra– Membranous urethra– Anterior urethra
• Document etiology as:– Post-traumatic– For female, specify if due to childbirth– Post-infective– Postprocedural– Other cause– Unknown cause
14
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)• If UTI is related to a device, such as Foley catheter
or cystostomy tube, clearly indicate this by using words such as “due to” or “secondary to.”
• Document if Present on Admission (POA)• Identify the specific site of the UTI, if known, such
as:– Bladder– Urethra – Kidney
• Document causative organism, when known or suspected, such as E. coli or Candida
15
Central Line associate-Blood Stream Infection/ CLABSI• If bacteremia is related to a central line clearly
indicate this by using words such as “due to” or “secondary to”
• Document if Present on admission• Document type and site of central line:
– Dialysis– PICC– Femoral– Subclavian
• Document causative organism, when known or suspected
