CFMA And SOAP Unite To Fill The Gaps In Clinical Documentation Improvement

Since many healthcare organizations are missing the right combination of clinical documentation subject matter expertise and supporting technology, CFMA and SOAP are uniting to bring the necessary blend of clinical consulting services and technology to market – all centered on clinical documentation to make all related processes more efficient and effective.   

With proven CDI programs, CDI and coding services, and integrated, closed-loop CDI and CAC (CACDIS) technology, CFMA and SOAP can fill the gaps in the clinical documentation improvement processes - directly resulting in increases in revenue, better patient care, and improved support services.

CFMA and SOAP are bringing to the healthcare industry unique products and services to enable providers and payers to have high quality clinical documentation with actionable data to enable efficiencies within various departments and functional areas.

• “One of the biggest problems in the clinical documentation improvement process is physician’s involvement.  Physicians do care, but they demand efficiency of themselves and others involved with patient care”, says David Raymond, President of CFMA.
• As a VP &CFO at one of CFMA’s clients proudly confirms, “Model and process are excellent; definitely not the usual coding review that was experienced in the past.  Coding and finance staff and MD’s were skeptical until the audit was complete; after the audit, feedback was glowing from all 3 groups.  CFMA’s model creates the missing bridge between coders and clinicians; this is clearly a big gap in virtually all organizations.”

“With the implementations of ICD-10, ACA, and Value-Based Purchasing, many executives are concerned about how they can do more with fewer people.  And since patient care is under scrutiny from a wide variety of sources and the impact on costs and revenue is dramatic, healthcare providers and payers alike are looking at ways to eliminate any gaps – cultural, financial, operational, etc.” states Dave LeBoeuf, VP of Business Development at SOAP.
