Our Process For Successs

CHIM makes the transition easier by beginning with small steps. We start with a specific service line or specialty rather than taking a “big bang” approach. This allows the transition team and coders to take a more meticulous approach to the change which helps maintain, both, momentum and motivation.

The 3 Keys to a Successful Transition

People

The right staffing, organizational structure, and culture.

Process

Identifying vision and goals, conducting proper training, revitalization, establishing policies and procedures.

Technology

Customizing systems, process augmentation and data-driven decision making.

Finding the Right Team

Finding coding professionals with the right experience and skill sets is one of the greatest obstacles to successfully transitioning to single-path coding. Thus, CHIM’s first step will be to conduct a gap analysis of current skills, the findings of which are leveraged to design training programs that address any shortfalls.

Defining the Process

A complete workflow analysis will be conducted. This analysis includes understanding the coding process as it really is, how coding works with other departments, and the impact coding outcomes have on various operational aspects as part of the implementation process

Implementing the Right Technology

Technology is a critical aspect to any single-path coding program. As such, CHIM is a partner to our clients in a way that is engaging and works as an extension of the project team, not just as a vendor. Doing so provides a solid foundation upon which technology decisions can be made.
