Healthcare in the United States is entering a new era of accountability. Health systems are under pressure to optimize clinical documentation practices to align reimbursement with delivered care and clinical outcomes. The impending migration to ICD-10 in 2013 is one of many manifestations of the expanding complexity of government and private payers’ clinical documentation rules and regulations. Missing or unclear information in clinical documentation impacts reimbursement and does not adequately hold up to compliance audits, or provide the specificity or detail required for analysis and process improvement.
Dragon® Medical 360 | M.D. Assist™ is a revolutionary technology developed by two global leaders in clinical documentation and medical coding. Starting at the source, physician documentation, Dragon Medical 360 | M.D. Assist leverages Nuance Healthcare’s speech-driven physician documentation and Clinical Language Understanding (CLU) technology with 3M’s extensive experience in Clinical Document Improvement (CDI) guidelines and coding standards, to help physicians document the details required for reimbursement and reporting while allowing them to continue using narrative dictation in their preferred workflow.
