This episode of Kidney Health Connections highlights the shift from fee-for-service, where nephrologists could focus mainly on the renal aspects of patient care, to value-based care models, where providers must take a more holistic view of the patient. Naz Urooj, senior vice president of quality and clinical documentation at Interwell Health, explains that risk adjustment models rely on ICD-10 codes to assess patient complexity and predict costs, meaning nephrologists need to thoroughly document all relevant comorbidities to paint a complete picture of patient complexity, ultimately enabling providers and payers to direct resources to the patients who need them most.As Interwell Chief Medical Officer Dr. George Hart attests from his own experience caring for patients, clinical documentation is a new skill for nephrologists. This episode dives into tools and strategies to support clinical documentation, including specialized electronic health record (EHR) systems designed to make the right data easily accessible and provider training to ensure accurate coding. Follow UsLinkedIn @Interwell HealthX @InterwellHealthPresented by Interwell Healthwww.interwellhealth.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
