The medical record chronologically documents the care of the patient and is an important element contributing to high quality care. The medical record facilitates:the ability of the physician and other health care providers to evaluate and plan the patient’s immediate treatment, and to monitor the patient’s health care over time;communication and continuity of care among physicians and other health care providers involved in the patient’s care;accurate and timely claims review and payment; and appropriate utilization review and quality of care evaluations.General Principles of Medical Record DocumentationThe principles of documentation listed below are applicable to all types of medical and surgical services in all settings. For Evaluation and Management (E/M) services, the nature and amount of physician work and documentation varies by type of service, place of service and the patient's status. The general principles listed below may be modified to account for these variable circumstances in providing E/M services.The medical record should be complete and legible.The documentation of each patient encounter should include:reason for the encounter and relevant history, physical examination findings and prior diagnostic test results;assessment, clinical impression or diagnosis; plan for care; and date and legible identity of the observer.If not documented, the rationale for ordering diagnostic and other ancillary services should be easily inferred. Past and present diagnoses should be accessible to the treating and/or consulting physician. Appropriate health risk factors should be identified. The patient's progress, response to and changes in treatment, and revision of diagnosis should be documented. The procedure and diagnosis codes reported on the health insurance claim form or billing statement should be supported by the documentation in the medical record.If it isn’t documented in the medical record, it is assumed that it wasn’t performed, and should not be billed. Documentation of E/M ServicesFor the purpose of this document, SFHP will provide definition and documentation guidelines for the three key components of E/M services and for visits which consist predominately of counseling or coordination of care. The three key components (history, examination, and medical decision making) appear in the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) manual within the descriptors for Evaluation and Management services. While some of the text of CPT has been repeated here, the reader should refer to CPT for the complete descriptors for E/M services and instructions for selecting a level of service.The descriptors for the levels of E/M services recognize seven components which are used in defining the levels of E/M services. These components are:history;examination;medical decision making;counseling;coordination of care;nature of presenting problem; andtime.The first three of these components (i.e., history, examination and medical decision making) arethe key components in selecting the level of E/M services. An exception to this rule is the caseof visits which consist predominantly of counseling or coordination of care; for these servicestime is the key or controlling factor to qualify for a particular level of E/M service. Documentation of HistoryThe levels of E/M services are based on four types of history (Problem Focused, ExpandedProblem Focused, Detailed, and Comprehensive.) Each type of history includes some or all of the following elements:Chief complaint (CC);History of present illness (HPI);Review of systems (ROS); andPast, family and/or social history (PFSH).The extent of history of present illness, review of systems and past, family and/or social history that is obtained and documented is dependent upon clinical judgment and the nature of the presenting problem(s).The chart below shows the progression of the elements required for each type of history. To qualify for a given type of history, all three elements in the table must be met. Please note: A chief complaint is indicated at all levels, and is required documentation for all levels.History of Presenting Illness (HPIReview of Systems (ROS)Past, Family, Social HistoryType of HistoryBriefN/AN/AProblem FocusedBriefProblem PertinentN/AExpanded Problem FocusedExtendedExtendedPertinentDetailedExtendedCompleteCompleteComprehensiveGeneral Documentation Guidelines for Recording History: The CC, ROS and PFSH may be listed as separate elements of history, or they may be included in the description of the history of the present illness.A ROS and/or a PFSH obtained during an earlier encounter does not need to be re-recorded if there is evidence that the physician reviewed and updated the previous information. This may occur when a physician updates his or her own record or in an institutional setting or group practice where many physicians use a common record. The review and update may be documented by describing any new ROS and/or PFSH information or noting there has been no change in the information; and noting the date and location of the earlier ROS and/or PFSH.The ROS and/or PFSH may be recorded by ancillary staff or on a form completed by the patient. To document that the physician reviewed the information, there must be a notation supplementing or confirming the information recorded by others.If the physician is unable to obtain a history from the patient or other source, the record should describe the patient's condition or other circumstance which precludes obtaining a history.Documentation Guidelines for Recording the Chief CompliantThe CC is a concise statement describing the symptom, problem, condition, diagnosis, physician recommended return, or other factor that is the reason for the encounter. Each medical encounter record should clearly reflect the chief complaint.Documentation Guidelines for Recording the History of Presenting IllnessThe HPI is a chronological description of the development of the patient's present illness from the first sign and/or symptom or from the previous encounter to the present. It includes the following elements:Location-Where the problem is located (ex. right arm)Quality-Description of the symptoms (ex. sharp, dull, stabbing, etc)Severity-Description of the level of pain or impact on life (Example: pain is a 6 on a scale of 1-10.)Duration-How long problem has occurred. (ex. Started a week ago)Timing-How long it lasts, or when problem occurs. (ex. Pain lasts for 30 minutes, or happens every evening)Context-Circumstances surrounding the problem. (ex. Lifted large box, occurs whenever I eat.)Modifying Factors-What changes the condition of the problem. (ex. Feels better after applying ice, took antibiotics for a week)Associated Signs and Symptoms- Other symptoms associated with presenting problem. (ex. Swelling, fatigue)There are two levels of HPI: brief and extended.A brief HPI consists of one to three elements of the HPI.Ex. CC: Patient complains of foot painBrief HPI: Throbbing ache in right foot since yesterday.In the example, three HPI elements (location-right foot, quality-throbbing ache, and duration-since yesterday) are documented. An extended HPI should describe four or more elements of the present HPI, or associated comorbidities. : Foot painExtended HPI: Patient complains of stabbing pain in right foot that began yesterday. Patient states he dropped a frozen turkey on his foot. Pain relieved somewhat by ibuprofen and ice packs, but has not reduced swelling.In the example, six HPI elements (Location-right foot, Quality-stabbing pain, Duration-began yesterday, Context-dropped turkey, Modifying Factor-ibuprofen and ice, and Associated Signs and Symptoms-swelling) are documented.Documentation Guidelines for Review of Systems (ROS)A ROS is an inventory of body systems obtained through a series of questions seeking to identify signs and/or symptoms which the patient may be experiencing or has experienced. For the purpose of ROS, the following systems are recognized:Constitutional Symptoms (ex. Weight loss, fever)EyesEars, nose, mouth, throatCardiovascularRespiratoryGastrointestinalGenitourinaryMusculoskeletalIntegumentary (skin and/or breast)NeurologicalPsychiatricEndocrineHematologic/LymphaticAllergic/ImmunologicThere are 3 levels of ROS: problem pertinent, extended, and complete.A problem pertinent ROS inquires about the system directly related to the problem(s) identified in the HPI. Ex. CC: EaracheROS: Positive for left ear pain, denies tinnitus or headache.In the example, one system-the ear-is reviewed.An extended ROS inquires about the system directly related to the problem(s) identified in the HPI and a limited number of additional systems.: Follow-up visit, post appendectomy. ROS: Patient states she feels great and denies any abdominal pain or bloating. Reports return to normal bowel movements. Complains about itchiness and bleeding at incision site.In the example, 2 systems-Gastrointestinal and Integumentary-are reviewed. A complete ROS inquires about the system(s) directly related to the problem(s) identified in the HPI plus all additional body systems. At least 10 organ systems must be reviewed. Those systems with positive or pertinent negative responses must be individually documented. For the remaining systems, a notation indicating all other systems are negative is permissible. In the absence of such a notation, at least ten systems must be individually documented.: HeadacheROS: Constitutional: lost 5 lbs. since last visit, fatigueEyes: blurry vision and sensitivity to light reported. ENMT: sound sensitive, frequently has ringing in ears. Nose is always “clogged”Cardio: + for palpitations, does not report edemaResp: No complaintsGI: Nausea during and after headache, denies other GI symptomsGU: Complains of heavy, off cycle, menstruationMusc: Frequent back and neck pain Neurological: frequent headaches, balance is “off” Psychiatric: feels “crazy” headaches are worsening depressionDocumentation Guidelines for Past, Family and/or Social History PFSHThe PFSH consists of a review of three areas:past history (the patient's past experiences with illnesses, operations, injuries and treatments);family history (a review of medical events in the patient's family, including diseases which may be hereditary or place the patient at risk); andsocial history (an age appropriate review of past and current activities).There are two levels of PFSH: pertinent and Complete.A pertinent PFSH is a review of the history area(s) directly related to the problem(s) identified in the HPI. The pertinent PFSH must document at least one item from any of the three history areas.Ex. HPI: Coronary artery diseasePFSH: Patient returns to office for follow up of coronary artery bypass graft in 1992. Recent cardiac catheterization demonstrates 50 percent occlusion of vein graft to obtuse marginal artery.In the example above, the patient’s past surgical history is reviewed as it relates to the visit.A complete PFSH is a review of two or all three of the areas, depending on the category of E/M service. A complete PFSH requires a review of all three history areas for services that, by their nature, include a comprehensive assessment or reassessment of the patient, such as a new patient visit. A review of two history areas is sufficient for other services.At least one specific item from two of the three history areas must be documented for a complete PFSH for Established patient office visits.At least one specific item from each of the history areas must be documented for a complete PFSH for new patient office visits. Ex: HPI: Coronary artery diseasePFSH: Past Medical: coronary artery bypass graft in 1992. Recent cardiac catheterization demonstrates 50 percent occlusion of vein graft to obtuse marginal artery.Family: Maternal grandparents – Both + for coronary artery disease; grandfather: deceased at age 69; grandmother: still living. Paternal Family history unknown.Social: former 1+ pack a day smoker. Quit in 1990. Lives with son and family.Additional PFSH History GuidelinesThe CC, ROS, and PFSH may be listed as separate elements of history or they may be included in the description of the history of the present illness.A ROS and/or a PFSH obtained during an earlier encounter does not need to be rerecorded if there is evidence that the physician reviewed and updated the previous information. This may occur when a physician updates his or her own record or in an institutional setting or group practice where many physicians use a common record. The review and update may be documented by:Describing any new ROS and/or PFSH information or noting there has been no change in the information; andNoting the date and location of the earlier ROS and/or PFSH.The ROS and/or PFSH may be recorded by ancillary staff or on a form completed by the patient. To document that the physician reviewed the information, there must be a notation supplementing or confirming the information recorded by others.If the physician is unable to obtain a history from the patient or other source, the record should describe the patient’s condition or other circumstance which precludes obtaining a history.Documentation of ExaminationThe levels of E/M services are based on four types of examination that are defined as follows:Problem Focused -- a limited examination of the affected body area or organ system.Expanded Problem Focused -- a limited examination of the affected body area or organ system and other symptomatic or related organ system(s). Detailed -- an extended examination of the affected body area(s) and other symptomatic or related organ system(s).Comprehensive -- a general multi-system examination or complete examination of asingle organ system.For purposes of examination, the following body areas are recognized:Head, including the faceNeckChest, including breasts and axillaeAbdomenGenitalia, groin, buttocksBack, including spineEach extremityFor purposes of examination, the following organ systems are recognized:Constitutional (e.g., vital signs, general appearance)EyesEars, nose, mouth and throatCardiovascularRespiratoryGastrointestinalGenitourinaryMusculoskeletalSkin Neurologic PsychiatricHematologic/lymphatic/immunologicAn examination may involve several organ systems or a single organ system. The type and extent of the examination performed is based upon clinical judgment, the patient’s history, and nature of the presenting problem(s).There are two versions of the documentation guidelines – the 1995 version and the 1997 version. The most substantial differences between the two versions occur in the examination documentation section. Either version of the documentation guidelines, not a combination of the two, may be used by the provider for a patient encounter. General Multisystem Type of ExamDescriptionProblem Focused1995- Limited examination of one affected Body Area or Organ system. 1997-Examination of one to five elements identified by a bullet in one or more organ system(s) or body area(s).Expanded Problem Focused1995-Limited examination of 2-7 affected Body Area or Organ system.1997- Examination of at least six elements identified by a bullet in one or more organ system(s) or body area(s).Detailed1995- Expanded (more than one element of each BA or OS) examination of 2-7 Body Area or Organ system.1997- Include at least six organ systems or body areas. For each system/area selected, performance and documentation of at least two elements identified by a bullet is expected. Alternatively, may include performance and documentation of at least twelve elements identified by a bullet in two or more organ systems or body areasComprehensive1995-A multisystem examination of 8 or more organ systems. (note: does not include Body areas)1997- Include at least nine organ systems or body areas. For each system/area selected, all elements of the examination identified by a bullet should be performed, unless specific directions limit the content of the examination. For each area/system, documentation of at least two elements identified by bullet is expected.A single organ system examination involves a more extensive examination of a specific organ system, as depicted in the chart below. The 1997 E & M Single Organ system Exam Auditing tools are available for the following specialty exams: Type of ExamDescriptionProblem FocusedInclude performance and documentation of one to five elements identified by a bullet, whether in a box with a shaded or unshaded borderExpanded Problem FocusedInclude performance and documentation of at least six elements identified by a bullet, whether in a box with a shaded or unshaded border.DetailedExaminations other than the eye and psychiatric examinations should include performance and documentation of at least twelve elements identified by a bullet, whether in a box with a shaded or unshaded border. Eye and psychiatric examinations include the performance and documentation of at least nine elements identified by a bullet, whether in a box with a shaded or unshaded prehensiveInclude performance of all elements identified by a bullet, whether in a shaded or unshaded box. Documentation of every element in each box with a shaded border and at least one element in a box with an unshaded border is expected. Documentation of the Complexity of Medical Decision Making.Medical decision making refers to the complexity of establishing a diagnosis and/or selecting a management option, which is determined by considering the following factors:The number of possible diagnoses and/or the number of management options that must be considered;The amount and/or complexity of medical records, diagnostic tests, and/or other information that must be obtained, reviewed, and analyzed; andThe risk of significant complications, morbidity, and/or mortality as well as comorbidities associated with the patient’s presenting problem(s), the diagnostic procedure(s), and/or the possible management options.The levels of E/M services recognize four types of medical decision making (straight-forward,low complexity, moderate complexity and high complexity). To qualify for a given type of decision making, two of the three elements in the table must be either met or exceeded.Number of diagnoses or management optionsAmount and/or complexity of data to be reviewedRisk of complications and/or morbidity or mortalityType of decision makingMinimalMinimal or noneMinimalStraightforwardLimitedLimitedLowLow ComplexityMultipleModerateModerateModerate ComplexityExtensiveExtensiveHighHigh ComplexityNumber of Diagnoses or Management OptionsThe number of possible diagnoses and/or the number of management options that must beconsidered is based on the number and types of problems addressed during the encounter, thecomplexity of establishing a diagnosis and the management decisions that are made by the physician.Generally, decision making with respect to a diagnosed problem is easier than that for an identified but undiagnosed problem. The number and type of diagnostic tests employed may be an indicator of the number of possible diagnoses. Problems which are improving or resolving are less complex than those which are worsening or failing to change as expected. The need to seek advice from others is another indicator of complexity of diagnostic or management problems.For each encounter, an assessment, clinical impression, or diagnosis should be documented. It may be explicitly stated or implied in documented decisions regarding management plans and/or further evaluation.General Documentation Guidelines for Recording Management OptionsFor a presenting problem with an established diagnosis the record should reflect whether the problem is: a) improved, well controlled, resolving or resolved; or, b) inadequately controlled, worsening, or failing to change as expected.For a presenting problem without an established diagnosis, the assessment or clinical impression may be stated in the form of a differential diagnoses or as "possible", "probable", or "rule out" (R/O) diagnoses. The initiation of, or changes in, treatment should be documented. Treatment includes a wide range of management options including patient instructions, nursing instructions, therapies, and medications.If referrals are made, consultations requested or advice sought, the record should indicate to whom or where the referral or consultation is made or from whom the advice is requested.Amount and/or Complexity of Data to be ReviewedThe amount and complexity of data to be reviewed is based on the types of diagnostic testing ordered or reviewed. A decision to obtain and review old medical records and/or obtain history from sources other than the patient increases the amount and complexity of data to be reviewed. Discussion of contradictory or unexpected test results with the physician who performed or interpreted the test is an indication of the complexity of data being reviewed. On occasion the physician who ordered a test may personally review the image, tracing or specimen to supplement information from the physician who prepared the test report or interpretation; this is another indication of the complexity of data being reviewed. General Documentation Guidelines for Recording Data Reviewed If a diagnostic service (test or procedure) is ordered, planned, scheduled, or performed at the time of the E/M encounter, the type of service, eg, lab or x-ray, should be documented. The review of lab, radiology and/or other diagnostic tests should be documented. An entry in a progress note such as "WBC elevated" or "chest x-ray unremarkable" is acceptable. Alternatively, the review may be documented by initialing and dating the report containing the test results.A decision to obtain old records or decision to obtain additional history from the family, caretaker or other source to supplement that obtained from the patient should be documented.Relevant finding from the review of old records, and/or the receipt of additional history from the family, caretaker or other source should be documented. If there is no relevant information beyond that already obtained, that fact should be documented. A notation of "Old records reviewed" or "additional history obtained from family" without elaboration is insufficient.The results of discussion of laboratory, radiology or other diagnostic tests with the physician who performed or interpreted the study should be documented.The direct visualization and independent interpretation of an image, tracing or specimen previously or subsequently interpreted by another physician should be documented.Risk of Significant Complications, Morbidity, and/or MortalityThe risk of significant complications, morbidity, and/or mortality is based on the risks associated with the presenting problem(s), the diagnostic procedure(s), and the possible management options.General Documentation Guidelines for Recording Risk Comorbidities/underlying diseases or other factors that increase the complexity of medical decision making by increasing the risk of complications, morbidity, and/or mortality should be documented. If a surgical or invasive diagnostic procedure is ordered, planned or scheduled at the time of the E/M encounter, the type of procedure, eg, laparoscopy, should be documented. If a surgical or invasive diagnostic procedure is performed at the time of the E/M encounter, the specific procedure should be documented.The referral for or decision to perform a surgical or invasive diagnostic procedure on an urgent basis should be documented or implied.The following table may be used to help determine whether the risk of significant complications, morbidity, and/or mortality is minimal, low, moderate, or high. Because the determination of risk is complex and not readily quantifiable, the table includes common clinical examples rather than absolute measures of risk. The assessment of risk of the presenting problem(s) is based on the risk related to the disease process anticipated between the present encounter and the next one. The assessment of risk of selecting diagnostic procedures and management options is based on the risk during and immediately following any procedures or treatment. The highest level of risk in any one category (presenting problem(s), diagnostic procedure(s), or management options) determines the overall risk.Level of RiskPresenting ProblemsDiagnostic Procedure(s) orderedManagement Options SelectedMinimal? One self-limited or minor problem (cold, insect bite, tinea corporis)? Laboratory tests requiringvenipuncture? Chest x-rays? EKG/EEG? Urinalysis? Ultrasound(echocardiography)? KOH prep? Rest?

Emergency major surgery (open, percutaneous orendoscopic)? Parenteral controlledsubstances? Drug therapy requiring intensive monitoring fortoxicity? Decision not to resuscitate or to de-escalate carebecause of poor prognosisDocumentation of an Encounter Dominated by Counseling or Coordination of CareIn the case where counseling and/or coordination of care dominates (more than 50%) of the physician/patient and/or family encounter (face-to-face time in the office or other outpatient setting or floor/unit time in the hospital or nursing facility), time is considered the key or controlling factor to qualify for a particular level of E/M services. If the physician elects to report the level of service based on counseling and/or coordination of care, the total length of time of the encounter (face-to-face or floor time, as appropriate) should be documented and the record should describe the counseling and/or activities to coordinate care.DQ 4: Deliverable CDQ 4: Accuracy between Medical Record and Encounter DataQuarter 3 Template Due: July 31st, 2016If your organization did not achieve an 80% accuracy compliance rate on the May 2016 DQ4 report, please complete the following template and upload to Wufoo with your Quarter 3 materials.
