DCBA

DCBA has implemented Clinical Documentation Improvement Programs in many hospitals around the country. Many of the hospitals have already been nationally recognized for their quality measures from MedPar data and hospital profiles.

DCBA has helped several members of the University HealthSystem Consortium (UHC) achieve success in quality measures. Dr. Gold has worked with UHC toward the development of statistical reports that would benefit a Clinical Documentation Improvement Program, and will continue to provide advice to support the enhancement of their products. http://www.UHC.edu

Prospective patients and family members are beginning to research hospitals before they go in for a procedure. One resource they typically use is HealthGrades where they rank hospitals in morbidity and mortality statistics. DCBA has aided in drastically improving HealthGrades data for several hospitals in which they instituted a Clinical Documentation Improvement Program. http://www.Healthgrades.com
