 The October issue of the NAHRI Journal features Axea Solutions CEO Susan Gatehouse in the article, “Better together: Creating synergies between CDI and coding”
The article discusses how CDI and coding professionals both bring a high level of expertise and value throughout the revenue cycle and billing process; and how each group of individuals approach documentation from two very distinctly different perspectives. “Both perspectives are critical, says Susan Gatehouse, RHIA, CPC, CCS, CEO of Axea Solutions, Inc ., particularly with the rise of clinical validation denials. “However, mutual respect and understanding is required. “The endgame is your quality reporting should improve, and also the days in A/R should decrease,” she adds. Gatehouse affirms that finding a way to bridge the gap and shift processes so that CDI and coding work as a team is critical to ensure accurate and complete documentation, coding, and reimbursement.
