"RAC in the Real World" Panel Discussion Video Now Available
In October, during AHIMA’s Product World meeting in Seattle, HealthPort brought together an expert panel to discuss “RAC in the Real World,” real-world advice on RAC Preparedness.
In partnership with Nancy Hirschl, RHIT, CCS-P, President, Hirschl and Associates, the panel shared experiences from the demonstration project with an emphasis on how organizations can prepare for auditors, mitigate their risk for revenue reduction, and manage the administrative burden of RAC. Panel members include Ms. Carol Richardson, MA, RHIA, Director of Health Information Management and Corporate Policy official from Adventist Health in California; Mr. Lane Edenburn, Executive Vice President and General Council of Health Data Insights (HDI); and Mr. Stanley Padfield, RHIA, HIM Director for Lee Memorial Hospital. HDI is one of the four original RACs that participated within the pilot program and was chosen to be part of the permanent RAC expansion.
