Good Clinical Documentation Guide

The Good Clinical Documentation Guide
helps clinicians to recognise critical elements they need to
document to reflect the patient care process, to communicate,
report and provide clear data for research and quality of care
monitoring.
The Good Clinical Documentation Guide
provides general information about the requirements for good
documentation, and the relationship between documentation, coding
and Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs). Specific information relevant
to 22 clinical specialties helps guide and inform clinicians
about important issues in documentation.
The specialty chapters feature:
- a range of clinical topics
- clinical profiles
- the top 5 principal diagnoses, procedures and complications
and comorbidities (ICD-10-AM/ACHI/ACS Fifth Edition) for each
relevant specialty
- documentation pointers for each topic
- AR-DRG version 5.1 information where relevant
- examples of the impact documentation has on DRG assignment
where DRG variances can be illustrated.
