Challenge
A medical center serving more than 100K patients each year was experiencing fluctuating high census periods and accompanying staff shortages.
In addition, the medical center was also seeking a remote auditing service to ensure coding compliance.
Solution
A secure connection was established and LexiCode worked directly with the medical center’s HIM management team to set up policies and procedures for coding and abstracting. LexiCode then provided a core group of AHIMA credentialed coders and auditors with logins and systems knowledge available to the medical center with limited notice
