Black Book noted that Nuance’s clinical documentation improvement programs for both inpatient and outpatient care are evolving to meet changing rules and regulations. The growth of value-based care initiatives and the extended application of hierarchical conditions categories continued to increase the implementations of CDI into ambulatory care. 95 percent of physician groups and practice associations participating in the survey confirmed the need to build more successful CDI programs to meet the complex challenges of outpatient services as practices transition to new payment schemes with payers.

“Clinical documentation improvement is becoming a priority for health professionals across the country who are taking on population health and big data initiatives, as care teams increasingly spot gaps in the EHR’s ability to effectively capture patient data,” said Doug Brown, managing partner of Black Book.
