This webinar will walk attendees through the basics of risk adjustment and the history of how and why we use risk adjustment. We will review some practical tools from everyday life that we use with our providers to alert them to potential diagnosis gaps as they are seeing and treating patients. And finally, we will look at different examples of documentation and evaluate the relative strengths or opportunities for improvement with a risk adjustment focus.
