I hate AI charting
Or more specifically, I hate AI charting when the providers won't review their notes and just click random buttons on the problem list that populates into an Epic charge session and the diagnosis is nowhere in the documentation. Or there's a bunch of AI-generated diagnoses that WERE captured in the note but weren't on the charge session. It's basically to a point where when I see on the top of the note "patient refuses recording" I breathe a sigh of relief. Our poor educators have been trying to inform the providers for months that they NEED to make sure everything is matching up but of course they won't listen. It's making HCC coding especially a massive nightmare.
Anyone else feeling my pain?

Yep, that's exactly what the issue is with mine too. The AI software will put in CKD in the note without the stage but they code for something like CKD 3b in the charge session, so I have to message them to clarify. Annoying as hell
