CODING & DOCUMENTATION

Better Coding Starts With Better Documentation.

Coding accuracy and clinical documentation cannot be separated. Dr. Sloan-Kelly Consulting provides physician-led coding and documentation strategy that helps practices strengthen documentation, improve coding accuracy, prepare for regulatory changes and build more defensible clinical records.

The DSKC approach

The Code Is Only as Strong as the Documentation Behind It.

Coding problems are often symptoms of something happening earlier in the workflow. Documentation may lack specificity. Templates may not support current requirements. Providers may interpret coding guidance differently. New CPT or ICD-10-CM requirements may not have been operationalized.

DSKC approaches coding from both sides of the record—understanding the coding rules while also understanding the clinical environment in which the documentation is created.

Physician & APP Education

Provide specialty-specific education focused on the coding and documentation issues clinicians actually encounter.

Coding Policy & Workflow Guidance

Help practices establish consistent approaches to coding, documentation and internal review.

Specialty-Specific Strategy

A physician-led perspective

Coding Guidance From Someone Who Understands the Clinical Record

DSKC brings together physician experience and professional coding expertise. That perspective allows us to evaluate not simply whether a code was selected correctly, but whether the clinical documentation, coding logic and operational workflow support one another.
