I am still amazed everyday at the intensity and level of cooperation with documentation from the majority of our physicians. And I don’t take credit for it. It is an expectation of the leadership here, the staff follow through willingly, and the rest just happens. The physicians are pretty accessible on the floors so we are able to make frequent contact with them and educate as needed. We even had a metabolic doc come up to us and ask how to document an unusual condition that was present on admission. Even the pediatric surgeons answer our queries. And we are presenting to the new docs coming on board at the end of the month. So life here is good.
