With 25 years’ experience in medical/surgical, critical care, and emergency department medicine, Tonya Motsinger has seen her share of crises.
COVID-19 was a crisis of a far larger scale.
The pandemic wreaked havoc not only on patients, but her CDI department, resulting in staff shortages.
Today OhioHealth’s System Director of Clinical Documentation Integrity has come out on the other side stronger. You might even call her, a survivor.
We discuss lessons on staff retention, remote onboarding, and some great work she’s done to improve her organization’s Vizient clinical quality rankings. On this show we cover:
OhioHealth’s CDI department including basic KPIs and department objectives, and Tonya’s role as System Director.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and department staffing devastation
Putting things back together: Salary increases and short-term weekend coverage plan
Challenges of remote orientation for new CDI staff
All things Vizient: New Vizient calculator, CDI review nuances, and impact on actual organizational quality
Onboarding a new hospital that’s never had a CDI program (I know, such places apparently still do exist)
Being a new grandmother and her addition to the Off the Record Spotify playlist
