Clinical Docs
Audit clinical notes for billing compliance, documentation gaps, and coding quality
What You Can Do
This skill audits clinical notes against documentation standards, billing/coding requirements, and quality benchmarks. You extract de-identified notes from Epic or Cerner, and Claude flags missing HPI/ROS/PMH elements, E/M level indicators, medical necessity gaps, timing compliance issues, and clinical inconsistencies. It's designed for compliance reviews, billing optimization, clinician training, and audit preparation without exposing PHI.
Features
identifies missing or incomplete elements that impact billing accuracy and code assignment
reviews HPI, ROS, PMH, assessment/plan for missing sections and vague language
detects medical necessity gaps, underdocumentation, and coding support deficiencies
flags countersigned note delays, addenda rule violations, and documentation window issues
catches clinical contradictions, missing justifications, and unclear clinical reasoning
processes plain text only; supports batch review without PHI exposure
compatible with Epic Chart Review and Cerner Reporting Workbench exports
Example Output
Example 1: E/M Documentation Gap
- Note Type: Office Visit—Established Patient
- Flag: ROS incomplete—only 2 systems reviewed (requires 10+ for MDM-2)
- Impact: Supports 99214 max; consider 99215 with full ROS
- Recommendation: Document all systems reviewed or document number explicitly
Example 2: Medical Necessity Missing
- Note Section: Assessment—Hypertension control
- Flag: No justification for frequency of follow-up (no exam findings, labs referenced)
- Impact: May deny as not medically necessary
- Recommendation: Link plan frequency to exam findings or labs
Example 3: Timing Compliance Issue
- Flag: Countersignature dated 4 days post-encounter (policy allows 24 hours)
- Impact: Potential compliance risk; may affect billing submission
- Recommendation: Escalate to provider for policy review

You can systematically generate ranked differential diagnoses for presenting complaints (chest pain, dyspnea, abdominal pain, headache, joint pain, fatigue) by applying evidence-based clinical decision rules and risk stratification. The skill helps you identify red flags that change management priority, justify test selection to supervising physicians, and document diagnostic reasoning in the medical record while reducing anchoring bias and ensuring comprehensive consideration of serious diagnoses.

You conduct comprehensive pre-operative risk stratification using ASA classification, Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), and procedure-specific risk tools to quantify operative risk across physiologic systems. You systematically identify modifiable risk factors—anemia, hypertension, glucose dyscontrol, cardiac dysfunction—and implement targeted optimization protocols to reduce preventable complications. You generate objective, evidence-backed assessments that strengthen informed consent discussions, support case selection decisions, and create defensible documentation for shared decision-making with patients and surgical teams.

You'll systematically evaluate patient risk factors, stratify perioperative risk using evidence-based frameworks, and generate detailed anesthesia plans that address specific comorbidities and procedural requirements. This skill helps you synthesize complex patient data—medical history, physical exam findings, lab work, imaging, and medication profiles—into actionable risk mitigation strategies that optimize patient safety and guide technique selection, drug choices, and monitoring protocols.

You can rapidly develop theoretically-grounded case formulations that integrate diagnostic findings, historical context, and clinical observations into a coherent narrative. The skill systematizes your conceptualization across multiple therapeutic modalities (CBT, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, systemic) and generates structured treatment plans with specific goals, interventions, and prognostic considerations—ideal for supervision presentations, case conferences, documentation, and complex diagnostic scenarios.

You can systematically document refraction findings for low vision patients and generate prescriptions optimized for specific functional tasks like reading, mobility, and facial recognition. The skill calculates appropriate magnification ratios, predicts realistic visual outcomes, and creates comprehensive documentation that prioritizes quality of life over distance acuity—transforming conventional refraction into patient-centered, task-driven prescriptions.

You can rapidly analyze multifaceted surgical presentations—including revision cases, comorbidities, and combined pathology—to develop defensible pre-operative plans and detailed operative notes. The skill synthesizes clinical findings with imaging data, stratifies surgical risk, selects technique-specific approaches, and produces documentation that withstands peer review and quality audits.

You can rapidly assess complex obstetric histories, identify and weight competing risk factors, and stratify patients into appropriate risk categories that determine surveillance intensity and referral needs. The skill generates evidence-based care plans tailored to each phase of pregnancy, documents your clinical reasoning in formats that meet professional standards, and produces handoff documentation that clearly communicates risk level and management strategy to physicians and care team members.
