Hospital Star Ratings: How to Earn Back Fallen Stars
Show Notes Chapter Markers

How many hospital star ratings does your facility have?

Do you know? If you don’t, you’re not alone.

Apparently, many coders and clinical documentation integrity specialists (CDISs) don’t know. But you should know. That’s why ICD10monitor and Talk Ten Tuesdays have invited Michelle Wieczorek, a registered nurse (RN) and a CDI authority, to explain what the hospital star rating means and how coders and CDISs impact those stars. Wieczorek, an independent revenue cycle consultant, will also explain how to earn back fallen stars.

The live broadcast will also feature these other instantly recognizable segments:
• Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news.

• Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the social determinants of health (SDoH).

• News Desk: Timothy Powell, CPA, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.

• TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc., and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.
