Although the term ‘papering the file’ is often associated with increased documentation efforts in preparation for litigation after a job has gone bad, it shouldn’t be. Effective communication and accurate recordation of those communications can keep the parties – and the project – on course and out of litigation. Should an irreconcilable dispute nevertheless arise, thorough project documentation facilitates the efficient resolution of that dispute. This program will help you to not only recognize the significance of various project documents, but also the true importance of the information recorded. The live audio conference will also explain what to document, when and how to record it, and who should take responsibility for preparing various project files. Attend this program and you will be armed with vital information on how to prepare and maintain a proper and complete job file.

The federal government’s increasing interest in fraud, waste and abuse heightens the awareness of physician practices, both large and small, of the increasing scrutiny of physician documentation to support billings. In the past, audits are performed and physicians were lectured but all too often little improvement was noted. How can practices efficiently and effectively audit physician services? If we audit and have a bad result, what are the next steps? This educational, live audio conference focuses on understanding the regulatory landscape, why the audit process is important, the factors that are important to the audit, documenting the audit and outcomes management.
