Poor clinical documentation is undermining patient care, hospital sustainability and healthcare data integrity

Patient Safety

Poor clinical documentation culture remains a pain point in many Australian hospitals.

Despite hospital leaders' best efforts, this culture remains entrenched and consistently undermines patients safety.

In fact, in a CDIA survey, up to 70% of nurses stated they were unable to find an indication in the medical record for a treatment they were administering to the patient. If you can relate to this, rest assured, you're not alone.

Financial Sustainability
The squeeze on hospital finances is tighter than ever in both public and private facilities.

Hospital finance leaders are looking to improve their funding to reflect their patient complexity, but often struggle to turn this into reality.

The complexity of many patients is often lost as clinicians omit or only infer important information, resulting in incomplete coding and inaccurate DRG assignment, leading to stressed and under-resourced hospitals.

Data Integrity

The need for data-driven decision making has never been greater in health care.

Many hospitals are torn between their excitement about AI and the frustration of the quality of their clinical documentation.

The quality of these decisions is entirely dependent on the quality of clinical documentation, which forms the basis of the data through clinical coding.

CDIA partnered hospitals have shown up to a 10x increase in the frequency of documented common diseases.

“CDIA worked with us to train our Clinical Documentation Specialists and launch our program with organisation wide education that reached over 500 staff. Without this assistance I don’t think our program would have kicked off as quickly and successfully as it has.”

Kylie Holcombe, Coding Auditor & CDI Program Lead Ballarat Health Services

“We introduced the CDIA program at the end of 2017 in response to diluted revenue returns from health funds and we have not looked back. Improved documentation isn’t just about revenue, it is about better outcomes for our patients.”
