Recent changes in Medicare coding requirements have caused hospitals to suffer from lost revenues, penalties and forfeiture of reimbursements due to inadequate documentation. Founder Dr. Jon Elion, who earlier created the highly successful Heartlab imaging software, tackled this problem with an expert team. The result was the company`s premiere product, ChartWise:CDI, which is the first-to-market Computer-Assisted Clinical Documentation Improvement (CACDI) software system designed to improve precision in quality clinical documentation to support revenue assurance. In February 2014 ChartWise launched an upgraded system, ChartWise 2.0—redefining CDI with powerful new features and an advance new user interface. The program is easy for medical professionals to understand and use, has a light IT footprint, and offers hospitals a way to mitigate risk, maximize reimbursement, and gain insight into their medical documentation improvement efforts. No other program is as robust, or addresses the clinical documentation challenges, the way ChartWise 2.0 does.
