Case Management Adds Clinical Documentation Manager

Case Management Adds Clinical Documentation Manager

Lima Memorial welcomes Melissa Windau to the case management team as a Clinical Documentation Manager. She has been a registered nurse for the past fifteen years and an LMHS Associate for the past nine.

The clinical documentation improvement program was created to initiate concurrent, appropriate and retrospective reviews of inpatient health records for conflicting, incomplete, or nonspecific provider documentation. The goal is to identify clinical indicators to ensure documentation accurately reflects the severity and complexity of inpatient cases and to confirm the diagnosis and procedures are supported by appropriate coding.
