1 April 2016 HIM Briefings Joint Commission quarterly update Medical record documentation guide and medical record reviews Jean S. Clark, RHIA, CSHA Our readers have been asking for an updated medical record documentation guide, and here it is new and improved! The guide provides references to the associated CMS Conditions of Participation and new and revised standards and elements of performance (EP). A recent Joint Commission column discussed ongoing record reviews and the continued focus of Joint Commission surveyors related to documentation in the medical record. The guide takes the Record of Care, Treatment, and Services chapter and breaks it down into an easy-to-use tool for comprehensive record reviews by topic. How to use the guide The guide can be used for open as well as closed medical record reviews. You can provide the appropriate sections of the guide to your clinical documentation specialists, nursing unit managers, operating room staff, patient tracer teams, and others to review medical records while the patients are in the hospital, outpatient settings, or physician offices. The HIM department can perform reviews of medical records at the time of discharge to ensure the records timely completion. Go paperless When possible, go paperless by reviewing EMR documentation. Build the guide into a format that is easy to use, whether you re on a desktop or a handheld device. And, when you can, build hard stops in your EMR to avoid incomplete medical record issues with histories and physicals, operative reports, and other documentation requirements at the point of care. Don t forget: The Joint Commission continues to require ongoing medical record review at the point of care. This guide should help you with this requirement and provide improved documentation for quality and safe patient care. Note: Although the guide is comprehensive, always refer back to the Record of Care, Treatment, and Services chapter for complete information related to documentation in the medical record. A special medical record tool for review of restraint/seclusion will be featured in the next quarterly Joint Commission column. H Use this tool as a guide for ongoing record reviews. Next to each question, note whether the standard was met ( ), not met (X), or not applicable (NA). RC Is there a complete and accurate medical record for each patient? EP 1: Are the components of the medical record defined? (CMS , (b)) A* EP 4: Does the medical record contain information unique to the patient that is used for patient identification?
