The entire spectrum of diagnostic
imaging can be assimilate into a comprehensive medical record, to
assist in planning , documentation, and follow-up of intervention
and procedures. Comprehensive documentation is increasingly
essential to the billing process, as more and more payers are requesting
more and more information about individual patient care. With
the multitude of identifiable risk factors which are not often tracked
in paper-based or traditional EMR systems, vascular disease specialists
are often unnecessarily exposed to unnecessary liability by the
limitations of these older documentation and billing systems.
The Team
Chart Concept encourages the early documentation
of risk factors for rapid and meaningful prognosis of complications
or limitations associated with therapeutic intervention. Documentation
of the thorough discussion regarding these factors has obvious medical
and legal ramifications, but such discussion and documentation also
allows the concerned physician to enhance patient awareness of that
concern. Reassured by this dual display of confidence and
competence, and deeply involved in their own care with an educated
perception of potential outcomes, patients expressed deep satisfaction
and gratitude for the practitioner planning their care.
