1. Look at the past through a historical claims analysis to identify gaps and risks.
2. Get deeper than a DRG-level analysis and examine each encounter for documentation opportunities.
3. Prioritize charts associated with high financial and operational risk.
4. Look at ICD-9 and take advantage of any insights that can improve current documentation and coding.
5. Remember ICD-10 coding is a continual process that will require constant improvement.
