The Abstractor
July 18, 2016 -- Volume 4, Issue 1
What is the Abstractor?
It is way for the Neurological Surgery Data Collectors to identify information that is frequently missed or not documented in the EMR and bring it back to the front of your mind. Please try to remember these items when you are documenting information regarding a patient.
Welcome to the Team!
Please welcome to the Neurological Surgery Department , Jennifer O'Con, the new ABSTRACTOR: Jennifer has been in the NSY dept for over 10 years. She has been on the clinic side and billing and coding side. We are happy that she has joined our team.
Jamie Thomas is still here doing about the same thing; however, she has had a change in title: The Neurosurgery Registrar.
Bi-Weekly Focus: DOCUMENTATION
Please remember that you are documenting everything about the patient's visit. Pretend that you are writing the information for people that know nothing about this field.
