Once a relic symbolic of earlier times in medicine, the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List has been added to the junkyard of outdated medical processes and practices. And if you and your team fail to plan and align your system appropriately, you risk major financial, operational, and compliance consequences.

The good news: during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, you’ll learn why inpatient status is no longer guaranteed by procedure. You’ll also learn how the burden of proof for inpatient care now rests in your documentation, along with what you and your team must do to protect appropriate inpatient admissions.

Join us when Dr. Stephanie Van Zandt reveals practical strategies to navigate this new landscape and stay ahead of the curve.

Broadcast segments will also include these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:

  • POV: Penny Jefferson, Manager of Coding & Clinical Documentation Integrity Services for the University of Davis Medical Center, will share her point of view during the broadcast.
  • CDI Report: Cheryl Ericson will provide an update on clinical documentation integrity (CDI).
  • The Coding Report: Christine Geiger will report on the latest coding news.
  • News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
