Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, physician burnout had become a major focus of concern for hospitals. The pandemic took physician well-being challenges to a heightened and truly incomprehensible level. In response, many hospitals and health systems had to limit, or even suspend, physician queries. Asking already overwhelmed medical staff to manage cumbersome query workflow simply was not an option. Attendees of this session will hear how a large health system proactively implemented Artifact Health’s mobile physician query platform to engage physicians with technology that makes responding to queries faster and less distracting to patient care. At the same time, the technology allowed the health system to keep CDI productivity high while transitioning to remote work. The presenters will also discuss how the query platform standardized workflow across several different EMR, coding, and CDI systems and added additional compliance and educational opportunities to the query process with AHIMA’s expertly written, compliant physician query template library. .05 - Evolving Topics |   |
