Carol E. Osborn, RHIA, PhD
Coding Quality Consultant, MIM - OSUWMC
After several false starts, the CDI program expanded to
16 FTEs to cover three facilities at the OSUWMC. This
session will discuss the goals of the program, how it
developed and qualities of effective CDISs. The major goal
was to improve the organization’s case mix index (CMI)
in order to truly represent the severity of illness (SOI) of
our patients. An internal scorecard is used to measure the
following: Medical and Surgical CMIs in selected MDCs,
CC/MCC capture rate, query rate, query response rate,
revenue impact, and the observed to expected mortality
ratio. The program also has had a positive impact on
University Hospital Consortium quality measures.
session, attendees will explore the new privacy and
security audit parameters with particular focus on HIM,
IT and compliance impacts. Ms. Bowen will define new
expectations for round two “desk” audits along with
specific OCR targets and penalties. Tips for shoring up
compliance with breach risk identification and mitigation,
policy implementation and enforcement, and securing
devices through encryption and strong BYOD practices
will also be shared.
ROI has been the front door to patient health information
access for decades. However, with the rapid expansion of
patient portals and need to meet Meaningful Use Stage 2
requirements, the ROI function is poised for change. This
forward-thinking session will explain how HIM Directors
can evolve their ROI staff, expertise and relationships
to better engage with patients and contribute to their
organization’s strategic patient engagement goals with
practical steps to get started today.

Don’t Miss This Wave! The 2015 OHIMA Annual
Meeting brings you sessions on a vast variety of
topics ranging from Change Management, Information
Governance, ICD-10, Document Integrity, ROI,
Emotional Intelligence, Meaningful Use, and much more!
You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn
to surf! Healthcare and HIM is an ever-changing field.
With a constant flow of new information, changes and
challenges, continuing education like the OHIMA Annual
Meeting can help you stay on top of the wave!
Take the Plunge… and take advantage of the many
networking opportunities at the 2015 Annual Meeting!
New this year, we will be hosting ‘Conversation Tables’
in the Exhibit Hall during Tuesday’s Wine & Cheese
Reception. Each table will host a discussion on the
current happenings in six different roles in HIM - Coding,
Compliance/Risk Management, Education, IT/Informatics,
Operations/Administration and the Revenue Cycle.
Also, each of Ohio’s 5 Regional Associations will have an
information table set up near Registration. Visit to learn
more about what’s going on in your area!
‘Seas’ every Opportunity! Plan to attend all 3 days
of our Annual Meeting & Trade Show – worth up to 16
CEUs! Plus, all active OHIMA Members who register for
all three days will receive a $60 discount! All sessions
have been approved by AHIMA for 5 CEUs each day
with 1 additional CEU if you attend the Exhibits for a
minimum of one hour. As a state branch of AHIMA, all
sessions are also approved for CE credit by the AAPC.
Stand Out from Your ‘Piers’. Due to its popularity
last year, the Student & New Graduate Track is back!
Take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about
the advantages of having a mentor, setting goals and
building a successful career in HIM.
The Tide is High. ICD-10 is approaching and the
2015 Annual Meeting offers a new format for Coding
Roundtables. CM (diagnosis coding) and PCS (procedure
coding) will be offered separately – so choose the session
where you need the most practice – or attend both!
Space is limited so register early to secure your spot!
Splish, Splash, Meeting App! Our App is back!
We will again offer a FREE mobile app to view the events
schedule, exhibitor floorplan and directory, and more!
Free Wi-Fi will again be available in all sessions to utilize
the app and stay connected.
Tidal Wave of Raffle Prizes! The Easton Gift Card
raffle will be held each morning and you will automatically
