CAPD Promotes Better Accuracy, Compliance & Efficiency In Capturing Clinical Data

The American Health Information Management Association’s (AHIMA) 86th Convention and Exhibit was held September 27 – October 3 in the San Diego Convention Center, and Health IT Outcomes editor John Oncea had the opportunity to speak with a wide range of attendees.

Oncea was able to speak with AHIMA members and presenters about everything from the effective management of health data, to the need for medical records to deliver quality healthcare to the public, to electronic documentation and health record management. In addition, several of healthcare’s leading vendors shared how technology is enabling HIM professionals better manage the ICD-10 transition, save health systems millions of dollars, achieve HIMSS Level 7, and achieve favorable electronic health record (EHR) implementations.

M*Modal's Dan Engel, senior solutions analyst, took to opportunity to talk about Fluency Direct - cloud-based, front-end speech recognition software that enables doctors to conversationally create and edit clinical data directly within an electronic health record.
