Healthcare expert, Dr. Ruthann Russo launches new two-volume set of guidebooks for clinical documentation training and strategy.
Bethlehem, PA (PRWEB) August 25, 2008 -- DJ Iber Publishing announced today the release of A Compelling Case for Clinical Documentation, a two-volume set of guidebooks for clinical documentation training and strategy, by Dr. Ruthann Russo. Developed using years of hand-on training with physicians and academically peer reviewed results, the book provides the only scientifically proven method for effective, sustainable, and compliant physician clinical documentation training. A Compelling Case for Clinical Documentation is available at http://www.acompellingcase.com.
Russo's interventional research study, on which the book is based, was nominated for Best Theory to Practice by the Academy of Management (2008). In Volume 1 you will learn to use patient records to achieve strategic alignment with your medical staff to improve patient care and ensure accurate reimbursement and quality ratings. Volume 2 of A Compelling Case for Clinical Documentation provides resources to train your medical staff using the CAMP™ Method for physician clinical documentation training.
The book defines high quality clinical documentation (HQCD) as documentation that is timely, as well as legible, complete, reliable, clear, consistent (unambiguous), and precise. The CAMP™ Method is a four-part training process that uses the following four steps, along with various multi-media resources to train physicians in HQCD:
- Coaching
- Asking
- Mastering
- Peer Learning
Additional information regarding the CAMP™ Method is available online at http://www.acompellingcase.com
"Any discussion about healthcare in the US should revolve around patients. A Compelling Case for Clinical Documentation demonstrates that through proper training and best practices a modern healthcare organization can align with its medical staff and achieve operational efficiencies, increased regulatory compliance, accurate reimbursement and patient satisfaction while still focusing on high levels of patient care," said Dr. Ruthann Russo.
