Problem: As the clinical documentation improvement (CDI) department manager at Dell Regional Hospital, you realize the magnitude of resource consumption in treating patients with septicemia. Patient record documentation is key in appropriately capturing the MS-DRG for reimbursement of these patient stays. You are on the agenda to speak at both the medical and surgical committees next month to discuss loss of reimbursement if coders are not able to code septicemia appropriately on discharges because a patient treated for septicemia is not documented accordingly.
