Study Summary
Clinical documentation which omits significant medical details negatively affects communication among physicians and impedes the diagnostic process. Clinical documentation may be improved by using compensation incentives. Therefore, compensation incentives are a compelling mechanism to promote documentation of significant medical details to improve the diagnostic process. The investigators' proposed project will use physician compensation incentives to improve documentation of clinically significant details for six common diagnoses in outpatient general internal medicine. The investigators will choose clinically significant details which more accurately represent patient complexity, improve the diagnostic process, and have potential to improve patient outcomes. To determine whether compensation incentives improve documentation of clinically significant details, the investigators will compare physicians' baseline documentation to incentivized documentation. The purpose of the investigators' project is to improve communication of clinically significant diagnostic information among physicians, thereby reducing suboptimal treatment plans, overuse, medical error, and cognitive burden upon physicians.
