EHR vendors are continuously improving software to provide the latest and greatest time-saving documentation options with the sales pitch, “getting providers back to the business of medicine.” Whether we like it or not, EHRs are here and we must figure out how to manage the information going into them in a way that will benefit, instead of damage, our practices. CMS has incorporated data analytics into their auditing, such as the Comprehensive Error Rate Testing Program (CERT), to help them identify provider outliers and determine who they should audit. They have even been bold enough to estimate that 90% of all providers will experience an audit in the next five (5) years. Are you ready for an audit?

In this presentation we will review

• Common EHR and documentation issues found in audits
• Template management
• Payer-specific use requirements
• Cloning
• Copy/Paste
• Provider training (IT-proficient and challenged providers)
• Spotting and Identifying potential documentation problems.
