Some Key Benefits

Easy to sell to your medical staff because it’s scientifically proven. The scientific approach, and data to back it up, will help administrators sell the training system to physicians who are skeptical of anything “new” that will take more of their time.

Ensure accurate reimbursement. High quality documentation will help improve reimbursement levels for many hospitals, since most physicians are under-documenting. More reliable data results in more reliable reimbursement.

A complete training system with resources. A complete training and learning system, with ready-made evaluation forms, PowerPoint presentations, and training-session outlines, minimizing the need to look elsewhere. Empowers your organization to perform initial and follow up training independently and consistent with your own specific needs.

Save money by minimizing consultants. Use this book to assess the state of your current clinical documentation program — or determine where you need to go.

Protect your hospital against compliance claims. When physicians are trained in clinical documentation, tested, and hospitals have proof they know how to document accurately, compliance risk is nearly eliminated. When documentation is clearly defined as the doctor’s responsibility, not the hospital’s — and you have a compliant method in place for querying physicians — any basis for compliance claims is eliminated.

About the CAMP Method:
The CAMP Method™ is a four-step training process that uses the following four steps, along with various multi-media and resources, to train physicians to document with high quality. High quality clinical documentation is defined as documentation that is timely, as well as legible, complete, reliable, clear, consistent (unambiguous), and precise. The four steps used in training are:

Coaching, which involves coaching and encouraging participants about their abilities to perform this function.
Asking, which involves soliciting feedback from the physician participants in a specific manner and at a specific time.
Mastering, which involves practical application of the principles demonstrated and discussed during the training program.
Peer Learning, which involves instruction by a knowledgeable peer.
