In addition, engaging physicians with their clinical documentation process may be an important factor though a difficult task in all healthcare organizations. Clinical documentation has become a critical part of every patient encounter. In terms of meaningful use, it must provide efficient, accurate, and timely services because it is what patients depend on. The clinical documentation improvement (CDI) program is intended to facilitate an accurate depiction of the clinical status of patients as it gets transferred into coding. At the same time, coded data has the responsibility to report physician’s clinical information, reimbursement, and tracking trends. Physicians must have the right education towards coding necessities, which is vital to correct reimbursement and quality reporting under MACRA’s quality payment program. Essentially, clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs must be implemented into physician practices as it helps educate them on the general specifications that documentation and certain practices for the ICD-10

Over the past several decades, efforts to measure, publicly report, and reward physician performance have gained increasing importance. However, currently available metrics to assess physician quality and clinical performance are far from ideal.1 Board certification was designed as one such measure, to provide an overall assessment of physician competence.2 Certification by a medical specialty board is meant to indicate that a physician has the knowledge, experience, and skills for providing quality health care within a given specialty. Yet, data supporting the association between board certification status and provision of superior quality of care are limited and somewhat controversial.3-6 Therefore, it is important to critically evaluate the content of board certification exams on an ongoing basis to ensure that it is not only current, but also directly relevant to the care to be

Length of stays are also evaluated, as length of stays often speak to whether providers are following evidence based medicine and thus providing quality care.Besides looking at volumes the credentialing committee will need to look at performance including morbidities and mortalities. These numbers and other quality indicators should be review to see if providers are performing at with national averages. With the the onset of value based purchasing, there is now much data such as HCAHPS which can and should be evaluated which allows providers to be compared to other local physicians as well as national averages. Patient complaints and disciplinary action which have also be placed in provider's files must be reviewed as part of the credentialing process. This allows institutions to see if there is some type of trend that needs to be corrected or if there's a reason for adjustment to providers privileges. Often completion of the medical records is also considered as well as part of this process. This speaks to providers attention to detail and compliance with other hospital rules and regulations. Continued noncompliance can be cause for disciplinary action, re-education, or may require corrective
