NCCI is the National Correct Coding Initiative. It 's important There are two categories of edits: Physician Edits: these code pair edits apply to physicians, non-physician practitioners, and Ambulatory Surgery Centers Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System Edits (Outpatient Edits): these edits apply to the following types of bills: Hospitals (12X and 13X), Skilled Nursing Facilities (22X and 23X), Home Health Agencies Part B (34X), Outpatient Physical Therapy and Speech Language Pathology Providers (74X), and Comprehensive Outpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (75X).

They should be hold accountable for any breach in protocols. • Present format for electronic documentation does not allow for comprehensive clinical documentation during follow-up visit. Efforts should be made to upgrade the electronic medical record system to the standard of that expected for a medical center and research institute. This is to allow for proper documentation according to the industrial standard, and easy retrieval of patient’s information for clinical research. There is a need to employ a clinical documentation improvement specialist (CDIS) in this
It is my great pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Mr. Zafar Anwar. I have had the pleasure of viewing Mr. Anwar’s professional development over the past two years, and I can state with confidence that he is a motivated and responsible person with a high degree of integrity. As such, I expect that he will be a very positive addition to your institution. As an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner in the Cardiothoracic ICU at Maimonides Medical Center, I feel that I know Mr. Anwar quite well.
I am personally for the Nursing Licensure Compact because it helps remove obstacles that some nurse’s face depending on their career or specialty choice. One example of this would be a traveling nurse. Evans (2015), states that the purpose of establishing the compact was to address barriers to practice and create uniformity within nursing. Personally, I believe the Compact does this because it allows nurses to work across state lines and they do not have to worry about paying extra fees and thoughtless requirements on top of it all. One issue that arises regarding the Nursing Licensure Compact is the inconsistency that it causes.
It is used to lessen confusion and support data. Terminology in ICD-10-PCS might be different than what a coder is used to. So it is best to know which term is the best to use, and to know what it is exactly that you are coding. As long as you have a healthy knowledge
Yesterday, I learned, witnessed, and performed CNA tasks (providing peri and bowel care etc.,). I completed the tasks requested because I believe in patient-centered care and teamwork.

I will be assigned to a new patient next week, and I will make sure that I will know everything about all the medications the patient takes. That will be done in order to know what I am going to be administering and how dangerous it will be if any of them are administered incorrectly. I will make sure all preventable complications will not occur. In order to do that, I need to know the function of the medication and what they are really for based on the patient’s diagnoses.
The health career that I am most intrigued with is a certified registered nurse anesthesist or for short, CRNA. In the United States, a certified registered nurse anesthesist is an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) who has acquired graduate-level education and board certification in anesthesia. Certified registered nurse anesthesists provide anesthesia in collaboration with surgeons, anesthesiologists, dentists, podiatrists, and other qualified healthcare professionals. Certified registered nurse anesthesists are the primary providers of anesthesia care in rural America, enabling healthcare facilities in these medically underserved areas to offer obstetrical, surgical, pain management and trauma stabilization services. In some states, certified registered nurse anesthesists are
TJC is responsible for certifying that a facility or organization is providing safe care to patients. The purpose of TJC is to evaluate health care organizations and provide them with feedback which will, in turn, provide the organization with recommendations to provide improved safe, quality care at the best value for the patient (The Joint Commission [TJC], 2014). This impacts nursing practice since the recommendations TJC provides are generally matters which will alter they way the nurse performs, or documents care for a patient. This impact will affect the way the nurse, in the facility, is educated. If TJC recognizes a deficit in an area of the use of abbreviations, this will be brought the education depart.
In this case the concurrent review was chosen. As discussed previously in the assignment it was decided that drug kardex documentation would be audited. A drug kardex, also known as drug prescription or drug script is defined by the World Health Organisation (2002) as ‘’an instruction from the prescriber to the dispenser’’. In this instance the prescriber will be identified as any doctor in the hospital setting with prescriptive authority and the dispenser can be identified as any registered general nurse.
