4 HALO TM Clinical Documentation Improvement One of the reasons we brought Anthelio Healthcare in was because we did not have a good CDI program. We have seen a lot of value since bringing Anthelio Healthcare in. Their yearly goal is to save us $1,000,000 dollars or increase our net revenue by $1,000,000, and they have either been very close to that goal or exceeded that goal each year. To be honest, that is the reason I can pay for their service.

7 CodeGenie The Physician DocumentationFeedback Solution CODE Genie Using Code Genie work queues, our coding supervisors review the feedback going to practitioners and evaluate how well coders are communicating the ICD-10 specificity requirements, thereby ensuring that practitioners find value in their feedback report cards. Physicians have commented how much they appreciate the information provided to them - both on their positive specificity trends and on opportunities for documentation improvement. They have not only gone back to review their own notes, but in order to support their colleagues they have openly shared their feedback in department meetings. Sarah Lucas ICD-10 Program Director UW Medicine Lack of an integrated platform for clinical collaboration? Inability to identify specific training needs for clinicians? Lack of tools to measure improvement in clinical documentation? CodeGenie is a unique tool that allows physicians to collaborate in real-time. CodeGenie has been designed to help providers through the coding process by collecting documentation improvement opportunities identified by coding, clinical documentation improvement teams and compliance professionals. It will also relay documentation opportunities as well as positive reinforcement feedback to providers. This education tool tracks and trends compliance with the new code set and communicates documentation choices in an interactive application to providers. CodeGenie helps providers with: ICD-10 Readiness The one-of-a-kind tool that helps providers achieve the documentation specificity required for ICD-10 transition.
