Risk adjustment has traditionally lived downstream of the patient visit, reconstructed after the fact through chart review, queries, and coding. This session explores what changes when documentation integrity becomes part of the clinical conversation itself, not a separate process layered on afterward. A moderated discussion with clinical and CDI leaders across health systems will unpack what’s actually shifting in workflow and governance, where the friction points are, and what health system leadership should be watching as risk adjustment moves closer to the point of care.
Learning Points:
• Why retrospective risk adjustment is structurally disconnected from care delivery, and what’s changing now
• How health systems are rethinking documentation support and governance as it moves closer to the point of care
• Early, honest signals from CDI and clinical teams navigating this shift day to day
• What friction points and open questions leadership should be prepared for
