Hello, I work in a couple of different areas as a CDI and am wondering if anyone has any information on prioritizing chart reviews? Any suggestions on charts to look at/ to not look at? Ways to define where to focus?

thank you

    Sepsis accounts for a large portion of mortality and contribution to Observed/Expected Metric at many sites. Review for Simple (995.91) versus Complex Sepsis (995.92) - consequences of sepsis drive scores.

    Consider reviewing cases subject to VBP and Core Measures and Pay For Performance - such as AMI, CHF, PNA

    Consider getting a daily list of expired cases and perform APR-DRG (SOI/ROM) review for each case.
