Why do physicians push back during education?

It isn't always because they disagree.

More often, resistance is driven by time pressure, workflow disruption, change fatigue, or frustration with documentation demands that seem disconnected from patient care.

The most effective physician educators don't focus on winning the argument. They focus on understanding the reason behind the resistance, building trust, and helping providers make meaningful, lasting improvements.

In this week's Spotlight, discover why the best physician educators don't fight resistance, they understand it, building stronger relationships and better educational outcomes.

What does accurate HCC coding really require?

It's more than selecting diagnoses that map to risk categories. It requires documentation that clearly demonstrates the patient's current clinical status, supports medical decision-making, and accurately reflects the complexity of care.

Our latest blog, "HCC Coding: More Than Just a List of Diagnoses," explores why risk adjustment is about telling the patient's story, not simply checking boxes. Learn how stronger documentation improves compliance, supports audit defensibility, and ensures risk scores align with clinical reality.

A special thank you to Amy Wheeler for sharing her expertise and helping bring this valuable resource to the auditing community.
