Fieldwork: Tatiana
Working the main office in an elementary school I signed passes for tardy students, answered phone calls, put updates in the system, keeping track of records, filing, faxing, safety and security, setting up meetings, call directory, and transportation updates.

Fieldwork: Tatiana
El- Amin Turner Mental Health Counseling is where I was introduced to the idea of going to school for medical billing and coding. There I would submit bills, do insurance verifications and appointment reminders for patients, as well as remittances.

Outcome:

1. Transfer knowledge, skills and behaviors acquired through formal and informal learning and life experiences to new situations.*
2. Abstract information from medical charts to assign the correct diagnosis (ICD-10), procedure (CPT) and supply (HCPCS Level II) code in a variety of medical situations.
3. Utilize appropriate current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal, and then communicate findings in visual, written and/or oral formats.*

4. Follow established methods of inquiry and mathematical reasoning to form conclusions and make decisions.

   Through this project i transferred my skills and knowledge through coding different scenarios and settings, I had to use medical records in order to assign the correct codes using resources like my coding manual and AHIMA 3M encoder to help evaluate my findings further and then communicated my findings by providing a rationale for them. I had to go through the cases pick out the important info as it related to the codes and then make a decision on what codes to choose from.

Outcome:

1. Demonstrate competency to assemble, process, maintain, store, abstract, analyze, index and retrieve health information data.
2. Evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the patient record as defined by policy, external regulations and standards.
3. Employ strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement. *

Through this project I explained the roles of the Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist & The Health Information Management team and the difference between the designated record set and the legal health record. Meeting the outcomes as i demonstrated knowledge of knowing the difference between the designated record set and the legal health record while also educating the audience on how policy, external regulations and standards work surrounding them. 231204101158_Designated_Record_Set_Legal_Record_.docx (.docx) 0.05mb

Outcome:

1. Utilize appropriate current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal, and then communicate findings in visual, written and/or oral formats.*
2. Participate in social, academic, and professional communities for individual growth and to function as a citizen of a multicultural world. *
3. Follow established methods of inquiry and mathematical reasoning to form conclusions and make decisions.
4. Employ strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement. *
5. Utilize appropriate current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal, and then communicate findings in visual, written and/or oral formats. *
6. Analyze the results of coded data to ensure medical necessity is met when auditing charts.

For this project I created an ICD-10-CM coding and guidelines training program for the coding department to help with claim denials within the department. I used Inpatient & Outpatient coding examples with rationales in order to "quiz" team members and gave them and idea on being aware of the challenges and small mistakes that can easily lead to claim denials.
This project met the outcomes as I created the training program for coders in order to address claim denials which included making sure the codes that are assigned meet medical necessity for the procedures performed while also explaining why. I current technology and resources to locate and evaluate information needed to accomplish a goal, and then communicated the findings in written and/or oral format in order to accomplish the goal of reducing claim denials. I gave strategies and reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement through quizzing the team and also giving them an idea of how often we will be doing this in order to see the changes reflected I had to use methods of inquiry and mathematical reasoning when it came to deciding on what codes to choose. 231203070146_1692079485_MCCG212_Portfolio_Project_.docx (.docx) 0.06mb

4. Analyze the results of coded data to ensure medical necessity is met when auditing charts.

In this project, I introduced a new Health Record Training in-service I put together for a coding department in order to refresh and deeper introduce them to coding with reference to E/M coding and guidelines, new patients, place of service, Level of Medical Decision Making (Moderate, Low, High), initial service, and provided 2 coding examples. 

This project met the outcomes because I demonstrated competency to assemble, process, maintain, store, abstract, analyze, index and retrieve health information data through case examples. Since this was set up like an in-service, it gave strategies for reflection on learning and the examples provided practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement as well as making room for individual growth functioning as a citizen in a real job setting. I had to review documentation vs. the nature of the procedure performed.  Health Record and Coding In-Service (.docx) 0.03mb

A project i did where i acted a CDI manager to address poor documentation and inaccurate coding which has led to a decrease in the case mix index. I provided strategies and ways to fix this issue as well as explaining to the team how important the CDI team & case mix index are. The 7 criteria for high quality documentation & Medicare Conditions of Participation requirements for complete health records were explained. The relationship between quality documentation, regulatory compliance, and reimbursement would be the result of a strong CDI program.

This met the outcomes as i acted as a CDI manager getting ready for an audit in a professional setting where i had to evaluate the accuracy and completeness of the patient record as defined by policy, external regulations and standards and explain those standards. Strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement were included on how to increase the CMI and avoid errors. I had to transfer knowledge, skills and behaviors acquired throughout this program and apply it to a real-world situation. 231109022702_1697301826_Clinical_Documentation_Portfolio_Project.docx (.docx) 0.03mb
