![Page 6: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SCENARIO 1
Teaching physician personally performs all required elements for E/M service (office visit)– Resident may or may not have performed E/M
services– TP note references resident note– Must document performed the critical or key
portion(s) of the service, and that he/she was directly involved in the management of the patient
– If NO resident note, TP must perform all required documentation
![Page 7: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SCENARIO 2
The resident performs office visit in the presence of, or jointly with teaching physician; resident documents the service. – TP documents that he/she was present during the
performance of the critical or key portion(s) of the service and that he/she was directly involved in the management of the patient.
– TP note should reference the resident’s note.
![Page 8: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SCENARIO 3
The resident performs some or all required elements of the service separately from TP and documents his/her service. TP independently performs the critical or key portion(s) of the service with or without the resident present and, as appropriate, discusses the case with the resident. – TP documents that he/she personally saw patient,
personally performed key portions of service, and participated in the management of the patient.
– The TP note references the resident’s note.

SCENARIO 4 (MAINLY INPATIENT)
Resident admits a patient to a hospital late at night and the teaching physician does not see the patient until later, including the next calendar day: – TP documents that he/she personally saw the
patient and participated in the management of the patient.
– TP may reference the resident's note in lieu of re-documenting the history of present illness, exam, medical decision-making, review of systems and/or past family/social history provided that the patient's condition has not changed, and the teaching physician agrees with the resident's note.
![Page 10: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SCENARIO 4
– TP note must reflect changes in the patient's condition and course at the time the patient is seen by the TP.
– The teaching physician’s bill must reflect the date of service he/she saw the patient and his/her personal work of obtaining a history, performing a physical, and participating in medical decision-making

PROCEDURES
Procedures– You must be present for key portions of the
procedure– If procedure is brief (less than 5 minutes) you must
be present for entire procedure to bill for service– Resident can document procedure but should state
who was supervising physician– While not specifically stated, best for attending to
co-sign note and state their presence during procedure

LEVERAGE EHR WITH RESIDENT
Use of note templates Automated TP linking statements
– Create autotext phrases– Use of macros
Order sets
![Page 19: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
MEDICARE AND THE EHR
“You may use a macro, a command in a computer or dictation application in an electronic medical record that automatically generates predetermined text that is not edited by the user, as the required personal documentation if you personally add it in a secured or password-protected system.”
In addition to your macro, either you or the resident must provide customized information that is sufficient to support a medical necessity determination.
![Page 20: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MEDICARE AND THE EHR
The note in the electronic medical record must sufficiently describe the specific services furnished to the specific patient on the specific date.
If both you and the resident use only macros, this is considered insufficient documentation.

USE OF TEMPLATES
Create templates for common complaints Generic template for patients that “just don’t fit
a template” Use them as education tools for residents as to
common areas to assess and address
![Page 22: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

DOCUMENTATION IN EHR
Create separate note referring to resident note Addend or modify resident note
– Best to make clear what is your documentation
![Page 26: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

DOCUMENTATION TRAINING POINTS
Train residents in learning to appropriate update each note to reflect the current visit
“Copy and paste” wisely– Identify original source if they were not original
author
Make it clear in documentation what was done on today’s visit– BOLD or ITALICS– New paragraph with date
![Page 31: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PERILS OF CUT AND PASTE
A real issue of concern Increased scrutiny from CMS and private
insurers– Denial of payment, concerns of fraud
2003 study in VA– 50% notes contain cut and paste– 10% felt to be high risk: “Human, clinically
misleading, major risk”
Hammond, KW, AMIA Symposium Proceedings 2003
![Page 32: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EXAMPLES OF BAD CUT AND PASTE

APPROPRIATE CUT AND PASTE
![Page 34: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
VOICE RECOGNITION
Voice recognition well suited for attending attestations
Dragon dictation– Dictate your TP addendums right away, add to
resident note when completed
Create voice recognition “macros” or autotext” Caveats:
– Watch accuracy– Word subsititution
![Page 35: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
ORDERS
Create order sets for common outpatient scenarios
Provides resident once place to find common orders
Helpful to establish standards of care
![Page 36: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ORDER SET EXAMPLES

MEANINGFUL USE PAIN POINTS
Medication reconciliation Visit summary Patient education Eprescribe Electronic physician documentation Transition of care documents
![Page 38: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
MEANINGFUL USE
Educate residents in requirements (they need to know anyway!)
Put resident in charge of completion of these tasks– OK for resident to prescribe, make sure they are
configured in your system to do so
![Page 39: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
TIPS TO SUCCESS
Split tasks– Resident does certain MU components– Starts documentation or orders in room while you
are talking with patient– You can complete visit summary while resident
starts on next patient– See patients concurrently
![Page 40: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
TIPS TO SUCCESS
Appropriate set-up– Adequate number of exam rooms
Spend a few minutes teaching them the templates– When to use– When to “freetext”– Computer/chart access
The more you prepare the resident, the better the note quality= the less you need to document!
![Page 41: COURSE 320 DOCUMENTATION WITH TRAINEES AND LEVERAGING THE EHR Mark Huang, M.D. Chief Medical Information Officer Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago Associate](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf5047/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
TAKEAWAYS
Understand documentation requirements for teaching physicians
Use the EHR to promote efficiency Residents can assist in completion of
regulatory requirements such as meaningful use
