SCCM Resource Library-The Future Is Now: Creating a Critical Care Organization at Your Institution

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript discusses the importance of assessing workforce competencies in critical care organizations, the role of nursing leadership and advanced practice providers (APPs), and the need for gender equity in medicine. The first speaker emphasizes the need to assess physicians and APPs' competencies and explains different methods for doing so. The second speaker highlights the importance of including APPs as part of the critical care team and stresses the need for clear role expectations, collaboration, and support. The third speaker addresses gender disparities in medicine and highlights efforts to promote gender equity. Overall, the video stresses the importance of assessing competencies, promoting diversity and inclusion, and addressing gender disparities in creating effective and inclusive critical care organizations.<br /><br />Another section of the video discusses the benefits of a central billing office (CBO) in hospitals. A CBO streamlines billing processes, negotiates reimbursement with insurances, and provides customer service for patients. It automates revenue cycle processes, reduces labor-intensive work, and decreases accounts receivable days. To improve billing practices, dedicated billers who work closely with providers are crucial, as well as proper education and training for physicians on documentation practices. Real-time communication between billers and physicians can also help address coding questions or issues. Collaboration and teamwork between providers and advanced practice providers are essential for accurate and comprehensive documentation, which can be fostered through open and honest communication. The overall goal is to have a strong CBO, dedicated billers, proper education and training, and open communication to improve billing practices and documentation in healthcare organizations.
