2. Assign Accurate Diagnostic and Procedural Codes
Apply established coding principles and guidelines to assign precise diagnostic and procedural codes using encoder software, ensuring every code reflects the clinical reality documented in the patient record.

3. Optimize MS-DRG Assignment and Sequencing
Identify the appropriate principal diagnosis and sequence all secondary diagnoses and procedures according to MS-DRG reimbursement system guidelines. Leverage your knowledge of optimization strategies to ensure accurate DRG assignment for all patients.

4. Ensure Medical Record Completeness
Verify the completeness of medical records within the electronic medical record system and promptly report any discrepancies to your supervisor to maintain data integrity.

5. Complete Discharge Abstracts
Compile comprehensive discharge abstracts by gathering pertinent patient stay data and integrating coded diagnostic and procedural information into our database systems.

6. Maintain Compliance and Professional Standards
Stay current with applicable Federal, State, and local laws and regulations. Uphold our Organizational Integrity Program and Standards of Conduct, demonstrating honest, ethical, and professional behavior in all coding activities.
