Discuss Clinical Documentation Improvement and how it increases revenue and/or severity of illness.

With cover page and references, I suppose the essay can be 4 pages, although, it was not stated.

I selected the topic in red.
Please select one of the following for your term paper. This paper will be done APA style. A tutorial will be posted on this page and I strongly suggest you view it.
•Clinical Documentation Improvement and how it increases revenue and/or severity of illness.
•ICD-10 – how much has been spent? Will there be a coder shortage?
•Electronic Health Records – Has the Affordable Care Act, Meaningful use and incentives helped? Where are we with EHR compliance? Meaningful Use?
•Medicare – If you select this narrow it down to Managed Care, Full Medicare, Recovery Audit Contractors or any other item that interests you.
•Office of Inspector General – Corporate Integrity Agreement? What are they and why are they used?
•Affordable Care Act and HealthCare.gov. Where are they now? Are the insured paying premiums? Is it working?
•Hospital Owned Medical Practices – are they working? If so how? If not why?
•Corporate Compliance – defining a plan, what is a CIA?, what is in a Compliance Plan?
