Coding Improvement Project: Resident Education on Documentation

NCT04538196 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2020-09-04

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Most General Surgery program directors have expressed the necessity to educate residents on the business aspect of medicine. However, the literature review did not produce any interventional studies directly addressing coding and documentation in General Surgery Residents. The purpose of this study is to address specific coding and documentation mistakes as identified by surgery coding analysts in the surgical department. Through this examination, we hope to provide residents with the necessary tools and framework for adequate documentation throughout their surgical careers.
