Description: As HIM & AI continue to evolve around the ever-changing medical world, some standards like productivity and quality were put on the backburner. No matter what EMR is used, there are always workflow changes, upgrades to systems, and everyday Revenue Cycle challenges. Establishing coding productivity can help convey the importance and benefits of the process and outcomes that can be used for billing, reimbursement, research, and quality improvement purposes. As changes are implemented, Coders are asked to assist with tasks outside of just coding the record, leading to more non-productive time than ever before. This has created a challenge for organizations trying to identify productivity standards and then maintain those standards.

Learning Objectives:

• HIM: Present the problem – How to gauge productivity of an individual and among teams
• Analyst: Describe the process from data model to excel to Power BI. Demo via slides (removing PHI)
• HIM: How does Coding Leaders use and how do team members utilize?
• Analysts: Issues arose – Iterative work (how to successfully partner with operations)
• HIM: Show growth of metrics 

Webinar Date: This was presented as part of IHIMA’s 2024 Annual Meeting & Exhibit – April 2024
