Clinical documentation for hospitals is very important. It is defined as the creation of a digital record that details a medical treatment, clinical test, or medical trial. Clinical documents must be timely, accurate, and outline the specific services that were provided to a patient. Often times, they are paired with x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, EKGs, and other records.

How Medical Coding and Billing Professionals Use Clinical Documentation
Medical coding and billing professionals depend on clinical documentation to perform their job. Coders evaluate clinical documentation and use the ICD-10 classifications to assign standard codes while billers process claims for services that have been administered by healthcare facilities and are then sent to payers for reimbursement.
Clinical Documentation Improvement
In order to make sure a patient’s clinical documentation is complete and accurate, clinical documentation improvement or CDI is often implemented. The main goal of CDI is to ensure that medical record documentation depicts an accurate picture of a patient’s diagnoses as well as the care provided for their conditions, and the quality of care that was provided. CDI can significantly improve the efficiency of a hospital and reduce the amount of errors, financial losses, and diminished patient care that many hospitals experience.
