Interesting and Funny Insights Into EHR and Health Information Management

Last week I had the chance to attend the Craneware Summit in Las Vegas. It was a really interesting event where I had the chance to meet and talk with a wide variety of people from across the spectrum of healthcare. I love getting these added perspectives.

One of the sessions I attended was an E&M session which provided some really interesting insights into the life of an E&M coder and how they look at things. There’s a lot more to their job, but I tweeted these comments because they made me laugh and illustrated part of the challenge they face in a new EMR world.


I thought these immediate responses to the question were interesting. They came from a crowd of HIM and coding professionals. Overall, they were quite supportive of EMR it seemed.


Many doctors don’t understand this. That’s why so many coders still have jobs.


Too funny.


Said like a true coder.
