Well, yes, a couple of things to know is what I alluded to about clinical documentation.
I'm one of the advisors for the system here, procedure advisor for our clinical documentation program.
Documenting, I think, change will be very important because, you know, the biggest thing I'm watching out for is just taking patients off of the inpatient unit list to our patient list.
And what will happen is that eventually, and this is going to happen probably in the next two to three years,
there will be a time that some patients you cannot admit them because they will become only outpatient.
You cannot admit them.
The only way you can admit a patient will be to document properly why you are keeping the patient in the hospital.
For example, I perform joint replacement.
Most joint replacement is not going to be sooner or later outpatient only.
The next thing is going to be in-day surgery.
But most people that require joint replacement are older patients.
As we get older, we do have
medical comorbidities and so if you have a patient that needs a joint replacement and you do not take the time to document the entire patient's profile there will be you know you have difficulty improving or at least asking insurance companies to pay you back if the patient had to stay in the hospital for maybe one or two days
because they can always argue that this procedure is supposed to be outpatient only, and you are keeping the patient for a few days.
So I think clinical documentation is very important.
Instead of just believing that documentation is for medical legal purposes, I think physicians need to step back and understand that documenting is very important for healthcare delivery overall.
Thank you for having me.
I appreciate it.
