Maximising organisational earned income<br />
Suitable for Consultant.<br />
Objective<br />
To ensure that data accuracy in coding supports billing for the correct tariff payment.<br />
Actions to achieve objective<br />
Undertake audit to identify extent <strong>of</strong> inaccuracy using existing guidelines and quantify<br />
potential revenue loss.<br />
Establish modified operating procedure and clinical oversight to reduce inaccuracy.<br />
Success criteria and measures<br />
95% accuracy on diagnostic codes at snapshot audit.<br />
Revenue increase <strong>of</strong> 5% for same activity (criterion confirmed after audit).<br />
Agreed review process and timetable<br />
Three months to obtain data on present system.<br />
Quarterly review thereafter with divisional finance manager.<br />
Support required (including removal <strong>of</strong> organisational barriers)<br />
Information system to supply material for audit and analytical support.<br />
Regular liaison sessions with coding clerks.<br />
There is a difference between what we do and what the information system says we do. Bringing the two<br />
closer together is important and is facilitated by this objective, which is essentially that <strong>of</strong> ‘owning the<br />
data’ while the organisation as a whole benefits from maximised income.<br />
