What Does a Clinical Documentation Specialist Do Day-to-Day - Ultimate Medical Academy

A clinical documentation specialist helps healthcare agencies run smoothly by organizing patient information.

In this video, we share some of the day-to-day tasks of clinical documentation specialists. This includes evaluating patient records, ensuring proper documentation, and contacting a patient's insurance company, if necessary. This video also explains why the role of clinical documentation specialist is so important to the healthcare system.

(Hint: One reason is that each diagnosis and treatment has its own medical code. If the wrong code is placed in a patient's medical records, this could impact not only their treatment but also the healthcare agency's reimbursement. A clinical documentation specialist is tasked with looking for this type of error, potentially preventing any hiccups in the patient's care or reimbursement of funds.)
