How Does Clinical Documentation Audit Work?
Clinical documentation audit with ChartWhisper works in three simple steps: First, ingest charts from your EMR system with HIPAA-compliant processing. Second, our AI validates E/M elements, checks ICD specificity, and reviews compliance against current guidelines in seconds. Third, receive actionable insights including compliance scoring, smart phrase recommendations, and exportable audit trails. This automated process reduces manual review time by 75% while improving documentation quality and ensuring audit-ready compliance for medical groups.
