Point-of-Service Documentation: Do you know the value?

“IPA’s should use point-of-service methods to increase quality and ensure the collection of quality data, by central distribution of prompts containing quality codes. Prompts and reminders are important tools to assist physicians in addressing care that may be overlooked or missed.”

“Medicare Quality Codes & Their Impact on Physicians” ICLOPS, LLC. December 2005

Independent Practice Associations (IPA’s), along with other types of healthcare organizations should use point-of-service methods to capture quality data. Capturing quality codes is vastly important. How will physicians know what and how to capture if they don’t have the knowledge and the tools to do so? ComplyMD’s point-of-service documentation solution allows physicians to properly document their procedures and diagnoses, in a code-ready format.

The software doesn’t necessarily ‘prompt’ physicians; however, it provides them with an ‘other procedures/diagnoses to consider’ suggestion box.
