  8. Process • Clinicians love $ and once on board stay on board • They circulate and discuss their gains • Audits can be targeted or based on documentation queries. Standard audit - MVH • When coding coders complete a documentation query form and place in relevant Unit folders • Coders sit with clinicians and make the change and regroup online and view the outcome • Distribute results
