質問 # 55
The clinical documentation integrity (CDI) manager has noted a query response rate of 60%. The CDI practitioner reports that physicians often respond verbally to the query. What can be done to improve this rate?
- A. Require physicians to document responses in charts
- B. Allow physician to respond via e-mail
- C. Permit CDI practitioners to document physician responses in the charts
- D. Have CDI manager teaming with coding supervisor to monitor physician responses
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
According to the AHIMA/ACDIS Query Practice Brief, one of the best practices for a compliant query process is to require physicians to document their responses to queries in the health record1. This ensures that the documentation is consistent, accurate, and complete, and that the query and response are part of the permanent record. Verbal responses are not acceptable, as they do not provide a clear audit trail and may lead to errors or discrepancies in coding and billing1. Therefore, the CDI manager should educate the physicians on the importance of documenting their responses in the charts and monitor their compliance. The other options are not recommended, as they may compromise the integrity of the documentation or violate the query guidelines1. References:

質問 # 56
The ultimate purpose of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) expansion and growth is to
- A. create synergy between clinical education and CDI principles
- B. promote CDI functions so that physicians view the CDI staff as value-added service
- C. provide community education to healthcare consumers
- D. show a direct relationship between clinical documentation and quality patient care
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
The ultimate purpose of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) expansion and growth is to show a direct relationship between clinical documentation and quality patient care. According to the web search results, CDI programs aim to improve the quality and efficiency of clinical documentation by ensuring that it is accurate, complete, and consistent. This in turn leads to better health care data, which is vital for capturing the appropriate indicators used for health care facility and provider profiling, reimbursement, risk adjustment, and quality scores12. CDI programs also focus on patient safety, by identifying and resolving any documentation omissions, discrepancies, or adverse events that may affect the patient's outcome or care3. Therefore, CDI programs demonstrate how clinical documentation can impact the quality of patient care and the performance of health care organizations.
質問 # 57
In order to best demonstrate the impact of clinical documentation on severity of illness and risk of mortality, which of the following examples is the most effective for physicians in a hospital?
- A. Explanations on how severity of illness and risk of mortality impact reimbursement
- B. The latest Medicare Provider and Analysis Review data
- C. Emphasize the Medicare requirements for documentation
- D. Examples from the hospital's actual cases
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
In order to best demonstrate the impact of clinical documentation on severity of illness and risk of mortality, examples from the hospital's actual cases are the most effective for physicians in a hospital. Examples from the hospital's actual cases can show how specific documentation elements, such as diagnoses, procedures, complications, comorbidities, and present on admission indicators, can affect the severity of illness and risk of mortality scores of the patients, as well as the hospital's performance and reputation. Examples from the hospital's actual cases can also provide feedback and education to the physicians on how to improve their documentation practices and standards. References: :

質問 # 58
Which of the following may make physicians lose respect for clinical documentation integrity (CDI) efforts and disengage?
- A. Inconsistent clinically relevant queries
- B. CDI practitioners sending multiple queries to hospitalist physicians
- C. The physician advisor/champion's interventions with noncompliant physicians
- D. Providing many lectures, newsletters, tip sheets, and pocket cards for physician education
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Inconsistent clinically relevant queries may make physicians lose respect for CDI efforts and disengage because they may perceive them as irrelevant, redundant, or contradictory. Clinically relevant queries are those that affect the quality of care, patient safety, severity of illness, risk of mortality, or reimbursement.
Inconsistent queries may result from lack of standardization, conflicting guidelines, poor communication, or lack of clinical validation. To avoid inconsistency, CDI practitioners should follow best practices such as using evidence-based criteria, adhering to query policies and procedures, collaborating with coding and quality staff, and seeking feedback from physicians and physician advisors 2.

質問 # 59
Combination codes are used to classify two diagnoses, a diagnosis with a manifestation, or a diagnosis
- A. with an associated complication
- B. with a sequelae or late effect
- C. that is an integral part of a disease process
- D. with an associated procedure
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Combination codes are used to classify two diagnoses, a diagnosis with a manifestation, or a diagnosis with an associated complication. A complication is a condition that arises during the hospital stay that prolongs the length of stay by at least one day in approximately 75 percent of cases1. Complications may affect payment and severity of illness and risk of mortality classifications. Examples of combination codes that include a diagnosis with an associated complication are:
I50.23 Acute on chronic systolic (congestive) heart failure
K57.21 Diverticulitis of large intestine with perforation and abscess with bleeding O34.211 Maternal care for incompetent cervix with cerclage, first trimester A diagnosis that is an integral part of a disease process is not a valid option for combination codes, because it does not represent a separate or additional condition that needs to be coded. For example, chest pain is an integral part of acute myocardial infarction and does not require a separate code.
A diagnosis with an associated procedure is not a valid option for combination codes, because procedures are coded separately from diagnoses using ICD-10-PCS codes. For example, appendicitis with appendectomy is not a combination code, but rather two codes: one for the diagnosis (K35.80 Acute appendicitis without perforation or gangrene) and one for the procedure (0DTJ4ZZ Resection of appendix, percutaneous endoscopic approach).
A diagnosis with a sequelae or late effect is not a valid option for combination codes, because sequelae or late effects are coded separately from the original condition using the appropriate code from category B90-B94 Sequelae of infectious and parasitic diseases or category I69 Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease, followed by the code for the specific condition2. For example, hemiplegia following cerebral infarction is not a combination code, but rather two codes: one for the sequelae (I69.351 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side) and one for the original condition (I63.9 Cerebral infarction, unspecified).

質問 # 60
Which of the following should an organization consider when developing a query retention policy and procedure?
- A. How the query will be formatted
- B. Who should be queried
- C. If the query is considered part of the health record
- D. What the escalation process will be
正解:C
解説:
Explanation
One of the factors that an organization should consider when developing a query retention policy and procedure is if the query is considered part of the health record or not. According to the AHIMA/ACDIS query practice brief1, a query is considered part of the health record if it meets any of the following criteria:
It is used to clarify documentation that affects code assignment or other data elements It is used to support clinical validation of a diagnosis or procedure It is used to support medical necessity or quality indicators It is used to communicate clinical information between providers If a query is part of the health record, it should be retained according to the organization's health record retention policy and procedure, which should comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The query retention policy and procedure should also address issues such as:
The format and location of the query (e.g., paper, electronic, hybrid)
The security and confidentiality of the query
The accessibility and availability of the query
The ownership and custodianship of the query
The legal implications and evidentiary value of the query

質問 # 61
Which of the following can be evidence of physician-hospital alignment?
- A. A high clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) query rate
- B. A high physician response rate
- C. A low physician agreement rate
- D. A high physician agreement rate
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
A high physician agreement rate can be evidence of physician-hospital alignment because it indicates that the physicians are supportive of the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) program and its goals, and that they are willing to provide accurate and complete documentation in response to CDI queries. A high physician agreement rate also reflects a positive relationship and communication between the CDI team and the physicians, as well as a mutual understanding of the benefits of CDI for patient care, quality reporting, and reimbursement.

Tracking denials within the clinical documentation integrity program is important to
- A. determine coding inaccuracies and educate as necessary
- B. identify documentation improvement opportunities and educate as necessary
- C. file a timely appeal if the medical center disagrees with the RAC findings
- D. confirm reimbursement was appropriate
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
Tracking denials within the clinical documentation integrity program is important to identify documentation improvement opportunities and educate as necessary because it helps to analyze the root causes of denials, improve the quality and specificity of clinical documentation, and reduce the risk of future denials. Denials can also provide feedback on the effectiveness of the CDI program and the areas that need more attention or intervention. (CDIP Exam Preparation Guide) References:

質問 # 63
A patient was admitted with complaints of confusion, weakness, and slurred speech. A CT of the head and MRI were performed and resulted in normal findings. Daily aspirin was administered and a speech therapy evaluation was conducted. The final diagnosis on discharge was transient ischemic attack, and cerebrovascular disease was ruled out. What is the correct diagnostic related group assignment?
- A. 066 Intracranial Hemorrhage or Cerebral Infarction without CC/MCC
- B. 069 Transient Ischemia
- C. 948 Signs and Symptoms without MCC
- D. 093 Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a neurological event with the signs and symptoms of a stroke, but which go away within a short period of time. TIA is assigned to DRG 069, which is a medical DRG. Cerebrovascular disease was ruled out, so it cannot be coded as a secondary diagnosis. The other options are incorrect because they do not reflect the principal diagnosis of TIA.
質問 # 64
A 100-year-old female presents to the emergency department with altered mental state and a 3-day history of productive cough, shortness of breath, and fever after a witnessed aspiration 3 days ago. The patient lives in custodial care at a nearby skilled nursing facility. Patient was treated with Augmentin at the facility without improvement. Exam is notable for Tc 38.9, blood pressure 142/78, respiratory rate 28, pulse 91. There is accessory muscle use with breathing.
Patient is moaning and disoriented but
otherwise the neurologic exam is nonfocal.
Labs notable for sodium 126, creatinine 0.5. white blood count 17.5, hemoglobin 13, platelet 200. venous blood gas 7.44/32/45/-3 Chest x-ray shows bilateral lower lobe infiltrates and dense right lower lobe consolidation.
Patient is placed on bilevel positive airway pressure and given vancomycin, pip/tazo, levofloxacin.
Discharge Diagnosis: health care associated pneumonia (HCAP), respiratory distress, altered mental status, low sodium Which list of diagnoses require a post-discharge query that will result in a more specific principal diagnosis with the highest level of severity of illness and risk of mortality?
- A. Aspiration pneumonia, hyponatremia, septic encephalopathy, and sepsis with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
- B. Severe sepsis, hypernatremia, delirium, pneumonia
- C. Sepsis with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, hyponatremia, pneumonia
- D. Coma, stroke, HCAP, hypernatremia
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
A post-discharge query is needed to obtain a more specific principal diagnosis with the highest level of severity of illness (SOI) and risk of mortality (ROM) for this patient. The discharge diagnosis of health care associated pneumonia (HCAP) is not specific enough to capture the etiology, site, and severity of the pneumonia. Based on the clinical indicators in the case scenario, such as the history of aspiration, the chest x-ray findings, the elevated white blood count, the fever, and the antibiotic treatment, a more specific diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia would be appropriate. Aspiration pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that occurs when foreign material, such as food or vomit, is inhaled into the lungs, causing inflammation and infection. Aspiration pneumonia has a higher SOI and ROM than HCAP because it is associated with more complications and poorer outcomes 1.
Additionally, the discharge diagnosis of altered mental status is vague and does not reflect the underlying cause or severity of the condition. Based on the clinical indicators in the case scenario, such as the fever, the low sodium level, the moaning and disorientation, and the venous blood gas results, a more specific diagnosis of septic encephalopathy would be appropriate. Septic encephalopathy is a type of delirium that occurs when sepsis affects the brain function, causing confusion, agitation, or reduced consciousness. Septic encephalopathy has a higher SOI and ROM than altered mental status because it indicates a systemic inflammatory response and multi-organ dysfunction 2.
Furthermore, the discharge diagnosis of respiratory distress is also vague and does not reflect the underlying cause or severity of the condition. Based on the clinical indicators in the case scenario, such as the shortness of breath, the accessory muscle use, the respiratory rate, and the bilevel positive airway pressure treatment, a more specific diagnosis of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure would be appropriate. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is a type of respiratory failure that occurs when there is insufficient oxygen exchange in the lungs, causing low oxygen levels in the blood. Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure has a higher SOI and ROM than respiratory distress because it indicates a life-threatening condition that requires mechanical ventilation or oxygen therapy 3.
Finally, based on the clinical indicators in the case scenario, such as the fever, the elevated white blood count, and the antibiotic treatment, a diagnosis of sepsis should also be included in the query. Sepsis is a serious complication of infection that occurs when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection and causes widespread inflammation and organ damage. Sepsis has a high SOI and ROM because it can lead to septic shock or death if not treated promptly 4.
Therefore, a post-discharge query should ask the provider to confirm or rule out aspiration pneumonia, hyponatremia (low sodium level), septic encephalopathy, and sepsis with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure as possible diagnoses for this patient. These diagnoses would result in a more specific principal diagnosis with the highest level of SOI and ROM for this patient.

質問 # 65
The facility has received a clinical validation denial for sepsis. The denial states sepsis is not a clinically valid diagnosis because it does not meet Sepsis-3 criteria. The facility has a policy stating it uses Sepsis-2 criteria.
What is the BEST next step?
- A. Appeal the denial because all payors must use the hospital's sepsis criteria when reviewing their claims.
- B. Have the contracting department work with payors to obtain agreement on how sepsis will be clinically validated.
- C. Remove sepsis from all claims where the diagnosis is not supported by sepsis 3 criteria.
- D. Query physicians when Sepsis-3 criteria is not met so they can provide additional documentation to support the diagnosis.
正解:B
質問 # 66
Which of the following falls under the False Claims Act?
- A. Unbundling services
- B. Missing modifiers
- C. Missing diagnosis codes
- D. Missing charges
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Unbundling services falls under the False Claims Act because it is a form of coding fraud that involves billing separately for components of a related group of procedures or tests that should be billed as a single code. For example, if a provider performs a comprehensive metabolic panel, which is a blood test that measures several components of the blood, such as glucose, electrolytes, and liver enzymes, and bills for each component individually instead of using the single code for the panel, that is unbundling. Unbundling services can result in overpayment by the government and can violate the False Claims Act, which prohibits submitting false or fraudulent claims for payment to the government, including the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Violators of the False Claims Act can face civil penalties of up to three times the amount of the false claim plus an additional $11,000 per claim 23.

質問 # 67
The best approach in resolving unanswered queries is to
- A. notify the coding team of the physician's unanswered query
- B. contact the physician repeatedly until he/she responds to the query
- C. notify the physician advisor/champion that the physician has not responded to the query
- D. review the facility's query policies and procedures
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
facilities must develop an escalation policy for unanswered queries and address any medical staff concerns regarding queries1. If a query does not receive an appropriate professional response, the case should be referred for further review in accordance with the facility's written escalation policy2. The escalation policy should address when the issue is brought to the physician advisor, the department director, or administration with defined actions as to the responsibilities at each level1. The policies should reflect a method of response that can realistically occur for the organization1. Therefore, reviewing the facility's query policies and procedures is the best approach to ensure compliance and consistency in handling unanswered queries.
The other options are not advisable because they either involve skipping the escalation policy, notifying the physician advisor/champion without proper review or feedback, contacting the physician repeatedly without respecting their time or availability, or notifying the coding team without resolving the query issue.
質問 # 68
Reviewing and analyzing physician query content on a regular basis
- A. helps to calculate query response rate
- B. aids in discussion between physician and reviewer
- C. facilitates physician data collection
- D. assists in identifying gaps in skills and knowledge
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
Reviewing and analyzing physician query content on a regular basis assists in identifying gaps in skills and knowledge of the clinical documentation integrity practitioners (CDIPs) and the providers. By evaluating the quality, accuracy, appropriateness, and effectiveness of the queries, the CDIPs can identify areas of improvement, education, and feedback for themselves and the providers. Reviewing and analyzing physician query content can also help to ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices, as well as to monitor query outcomes and trends2 References: 1:

質問 # 69
A 90-year-old female patient was admitted to emergency room c/o nausea and vomiting x2 days. Vital signs:
BP 130/72, P 86, R 22, T 99.8F, O2 sat 94% on room air. Patient has a history of cerebral vascular accident (CVA) and difficulty swallowing. CXR revealed right lower lobe infiltrate. Labs: WBC 12.0 with 71% segs. Physician documents patient with a history of CVA and difficulty swallowing. CXR revealed right lower lobe infiltrate, diagnosis: pneumonia.
Aspiration precautions and IV Clindamycin
ordered. Patient was discharged 3 days later with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Clarification is needed to determine which of the following is clinically indicated.
- A. Pneumonia, a sequela of CVA
- B. Aspiration pneumonia
- C. Simple pneumonia
- D. Complex pneumonia
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
Aspiration pneumonia is a type of pneumonia that occurs when food, saliva, liquids, or vomit is breathed into the lungs or airways leading to the lungs, causing an infection or inflammation. Aspiration pneumonia is more likely to occur in people who have difficulty swallowing, such as those with a history of CVA2. In this case, the patient has a history of CVA and difficulty swallowing, and presents with nausea and vomiting, which are risk factors for aspiration. The CXR reveals a right lower lobe infiltrate, which is a common finding in aspiration pneumonia3. The physician documents pneumonia as the diagnosis, but does not specify the type or cause. Therefore, clarification is needed to determine if aspiration pneumonia is clinically indicated, as it would affect the coding and reimbursement of the case. Aspiration pneumonia is coded as ICD-10-CM code J69.x Pneumonitis due to solids and liquids, with a fourth digit required to specify the inhaled substance4.

質問 # 70
The third quarter target concurrent physician query response rate for each physician in a hospital gastroenterology department was 80%. Nine physicians met or exceeded this metric; however, two physicians had third quarter concurrent physician query response rates of 19% and 64%. What is the best course of action for the clinical documentation integrity (CDI) physician advisor/champion?
- A. Schedule a group meeting with all physicians
- B. Schedule individual meetings with each low-performing physician
- C. Schedule a meeting with the chair of the gastroenterology department
- D. Schedule individual meetings with each physician
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
According to the ACDIS Practice Brief, a query escalation policy should describe how to handle situations in which an answer is not received, an inappropriate answer or comment is provided, etc. The escalation policy should address when the issue is brought to the physician advisor, the department director, or administration with defined actions as to the responsibilities at each level. The policies should reflect a method of response that can realistically occur for the organization1. In this case, since two physicians have significantly lower query response rates than the target, the CDI physician advisor/champion should schedule individual meetings with each low-performing physician to provide feedback, education, and support. A group meeting with all physicians may not be effective or efficient, as it may not address the specific barriers or challenges faced by the low-performing physicians. A meeting with the chair of the gastroenterology department may be helpful, but it may not be sufficient to resolve the issue without direct communication with the low-performing physicians.

質問 # 71
The clinical documentation integrity (CDI) manager is reviewing physician benchmarks and notices a low-severity level being measured against average length of stay.
What should the CDI manager keep in mind when discussing this observation with physicians?
- A. The query rate is too high while the agreement rate is low.
- B. The indicator is a key factor of measurement for quality reports.
- C. The diagnosis with a higher degree of specificity has a lower severity of illness.
- D. The query response rate directly correlates to quality reports.
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
According to the AHIMA CDIP Exam Preparation Guide, one of the CDI metrics and statistics that CDI managers should track and interpret is the severity level measured against average length of stay (ALOS)1. This indicator reflects the complexity and acuity of the patient population and the quality of care provided by the hospital2. A low-severity level with a high ALOS may indicate under-documentation or under-coding of the patient's condition, which may affect the hospital's reimbursement, risk adjustment, and quality scores3. Therefore, the CDI manager should keep in mind that this indicator is a key factor of measurement for quality reports when discussing this observation with physicians, and educate them on the importance of documenting and coding accurately and completely to reflect the patient's true severity of illness. The other options are not correct because they do not address the issue of severity level measured against ALOS, or they are not relevant to the CDI manager's role or responsibility. References:

質問 # 72
When writing a compliant query, best practice is to
- A. direct the physician to a specific diagnosis
- B. include all relevant clinical indicators
- C. use a yes/no query format for specificity of a diagnosis
- D. use the term "possible" to describe a condition or diagnosis when uncertain if the diagnosis is present
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
One of the best practices for writing a compliant query is to include all relevant clinical indicators from the health record that support the need for clarification and the query options. Clinical indicators are objective and measurable signs, symptoms, laboratory results, diagnostic test results, medications, treatments, and other documented findings that are related to a specific diagnosis or condition. Including clinical indicators helps to provide the rationale for the query, avoid leading or suggesting a desired response, and ensure that the query is based on evidence and not assumptions. The other options are not best practices for writing a compliant query.
Directing the physician to a specific diagnosis is leading and noncompliant. Using the term "possible" to describe a condition or diagnosis when uncertain if the diagnosis is present is vague and imprecise. Using a yes/no query format for specificity of a diagnosis is discouraged, as it limits the provider's choices and may not capture the true clinical picture.
質問 # 73
The key component of the auditing and monitoring process to ensure provider query response is to
- A. audit individual providers to indicate improvement in health record documentation
- B. make sure that the language in the query is not leading or otherwise inappropriate
- C. have a process in place for ongoing education and training of the staff involved in conducting provider queries
- D. review queries retrospectively to ensure that they are completed according to documented Policies and procedures
正解:D
質問 # 74
Educating physicians on severity of illness and risk of mortality is best accomplished by utilizing
- A. the DRG Expert
- B. case studies
- C. the case mix index
- D. physician report cards
正解:B
解説:
Explanation
Educating physicians on severity of illness and risk of mortality is best accomplished by using case studies that demonstrate how documentation affects these indicators and how they impact patient care, quality outcomes, and reimbursement.

質問 # 75
Which of the following diagnosis is MOST likely to trigger a second level review?
- A. Pneumonia
- B. Heart failure
- C. Malnutrition
- D. Acute kidney injury
正解:C
解説:
Explanation
Malnutrition is a diagnosis that is most likely to trigger a second level review because it affects the severity of illness (SOI) and risk of mortality (ROM) of the patient, as well as the reimbursement and quality measures of the hospital. Malnutrition also requires clinical validation and clear documentation of its etiology, type, degree, and duration2 References: 1:

質問 # 76
Which of the following is considered a hospital-acquired condition if not present on admission?
- A. Blood incompatibility
- B. Diabetes with hypoglycemia
- C. Stage I and II pressure ulcers
- D. Air leak
正解:A
解説:
Explanation
Blood incompatibility is considered a hospital-acquired condition if not present on admission, according to the CMS Hospital-Acquired Conditions (HAC) Reduction Program. This program reduces payments to hospitals that have high rates of certain conditions that are acquired during the hospital stay and could have been prevented by following evidence-based guidelines. Blood incompatibility is one of the 14 HAC categories that are included in the program, and it refers to a patient receiving a blood transfusion with incompatible blood type or Rh factor, which can cause serious adverse reactions such as hemolysis, anemia, renal failure, or death 23. Blood incompatibility is a preventable condition that can be avoided by proper blood typing and cross-matching before transfusion, and by following strict protocols and procedures for blood handling and administration 4.

質問 # 77
Identify the error in the following query:
This patient's echocardiogram showed an ejection fraction of 25%. The chest x-ray showed congestive heart failure (CHF). The patient was prescribed Lasix and an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI). Is this patient's CHF systolic?
- A. The query contains irrelevant information.
- B. The query is unclear.
- C. The query does not contain clinical indicators.
- D. The query is leading.
正解:D
解説:
Explanation
A leading query is one that suggests a specific diagnosis, condition, or treatment to the provider, or implies that a certain response is desired or expected. A leading query can compromise the integrity and accuracy of the documentation and the coded data, and may also raise compliance and ethical issues. A query should be non-leading, meaning that it presents the facts from the health record without bias or influence, and allows the provider to use their clinical judgment to determine the appropriate response.
The query in the question is leading because it implies that the patient's CHF is systolic by asking a yes/no question that only offers one option. A non-leading query would ask an open-ended question that offers multiple options, such as "What type of CHF does this patient have?" or "Please specify the type of CHF:
systolic, diastolic, or combined."
