What Does a Clinical Documentation Specialist Do Day-to-Day - Ultimate Medical Academy

https://www.ultimatemedical.edu/blog/...

A clinical documentation specialist helps healthcare agencies run smoothly by organizing patient information.

In this video, we share some of the day-to-day tasks of clinical documentation specialists. This includes evaluating patient records, ensuring proper documentation, and contacting a patient's insurance company, if necessary. This video also explains why the role of clinical documentation specialist is so important to the healthcare system.

(Hint: One reason is that each diagnosis and treatment has its own medical code. If the wrong code is placed in a patient's medical records, this could impact not only their treatment but also the healthcare agency's reimbursement. A clinical documentation specialist is tasked with looking for this type of error, potentially preventing any hiccups in the patient's care or reimbursement of funds.)

At the end of the video, we'll also share the steps necessary to become a clinical documentation specialist, as well as how UMA can help! https://www.ultimatemedical.edu/
