In the ever-evolving world of Outpatient Therapy (OPT), understanding compliance trends is crucial for identifying risk and improving documentation quality and patient care. That’s where data becomes incredibly powerful.
To showcase how data-driven insights can support Therapy Providers, LW Consulting, Inc. (LWCI) conducted an in-depth analysis of over 7,500 OPT documentation audits performed over the past five years using ChartVerify®—a powerful documentation auditing tool designed to track, analyze, and identify trends.
What We Found
By diving into years of audit data, LWCI was able to assess scoring patterns across key Documentation Audit Risk Elements. The analysis identified which specific audit questions were consistently the most challenging for providers and offered valuable insight into why.
Why It Matters
Understanding why these questions are problematic helps providers be more proactive. Addressing these challenges head-on can significantly reduce audit risk, whether due to vague guidance, inconsistent documentation practices, or time constraints.
LWCI provides some valuable insight on these questions: why are these questions the most challenging, and what should Therapy Providers be aware of?
