NTRODUCTION: For the introductory paragraph, you should summarize what the
assignment instructions require you to do. For example, you can begin in the following
way:
For this assignment, I am required to research consequences for healthcare facilities if
they are found in violation of required documentation standards. In the following
paragraphs, I will address how these deficiencies in documentation compliance affect
continuity of patient care, contribute to allegations of fraud, abuse, negligence and
malpractice, the impact on facility revenue, effect on quality improvement, accreditation
and licensing of providers and facilities.
PARAGRAPH 2: Continuity of patient care, negligence/malpractice.
In this paragraph, address how deficiencies have an impact on patient care and can
contribute to allegations of negligence and malpractice.
PARAGRAPH 3: Allegations of Fraud and Abuse and impact on facility
revenue/reimbursement.
In this paragraph, discuss how poor documentation or noncompliance documentation can
lead to allegations of fraud and abuse in billing practices as well as having a serious
impact on facility revenue through fines and downward reimbursement of claims where
the documentation does not support the level of codes submitted for the claims.
PARAGRAPH 4: Effect on Quality Improvement and Research Reviews.
Just as we discussed previously, poor documentation can prevent facilities from
improving the quality of services they provide to patients and minimize the impact of
quality assurance reviews. It can also have an impact on research studies due to
incomplete documentation.
PARAGRAPH 5: Consequences for facility/provider licensing and accreditation.
In this paragraph, discuss how facilities/providers can have licenses suspended or
revoked due to issues of fraud and abuse and loss of accreditation, which can all trace
back to poor documentation.
CONCLUSION: Conclude with your recommendations to improve documentation in
healthcare settings
you must research the problems faced by
healthcare facilities when their medical record documentation is found to be
deficient and/or noncompliant with all regulatory standards. This may involve
issues discovered through random audits performed by regulatory entities, i.e,.
CMS, Recovery Audit Contractors – RACs, Departments of Health, Accrediting
bodies, etc. You have to base your findings on a minimum of three sources found
from your research. These sources can be articles, textbooks, websites, ebooks,
but must be academically acceptable. You must submit the sources to your
instructor for approval before starting the essay for this part of the project.
You must go beyond the healthcare setting you chose for Part I of the project
and provide a general assessment of consequences of deficiencies and
noncompliance in medical record documentation, but you must also include
information on this specific setting as part of your essay.
