A question was recently asked of me by my admin office, and I'd really like any opinions/guidance anyone has to offer:
We've just started using our EHR (Centricity) a couple months ago. It was just noticed that several of our doctors, when creating their documetnation, go back and forth between lower case and ALL UPPER CASE text. Will this raise any red flags in an audit?
My opinion is that there shouldn't be any problems from a compliance/payer viewpoint. It's certainly not pleasant to read, but technically not wrong. I don't remember ever coming across anything stating otherwise.
Any input is much appreciated!!
