Meeting today’s communications challenge
Collabra addresses a critical challenge: most healthcare facilities do not have an automated process to enable CDI and Coding to share data. Coders are often unaware of the work their CDI colleagues have already completed on a chart. If physician queries are not included as part of the permanent patient record, coders may find themselves duplicating CDI queries. At the same time, CDI staff typically have no way to know the final outcome on their cases, rendering them unable to assess the impact of their documentation improvement effort.
Collabra enables CDI staff and coders to work together, utilizing a shared database. Coders can easily access concurrent query information. CDI staff can now see the final coding on a case and compare it to the concurrent documentation improvement efforts.
