Ambulatory Self Audits
Results
- Internal inconsistencies with nursing note and progress note discordances were the highest ranking findings in 48% of the audited cases — “Bilateral rhonchi” versus “clear to auscultation” — “Lower extremity swelling versus no edema” — “Acute diverticulitis” versus “Abdominal pain”
- 36% of the cases did not have “Chief complaint” in the progress note- an essential part of the note that can invalidate a billing claim
