Medical Record Documentation Review 2023
Empower Healthcare Solutions is starting our annual, state-mandated provider Medical Records Documentation Review (MRDR) in 2023. As one of Empower’s Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives, the MRDR contributes to improving member care and treatment outcomes.
Empower’s goal is to help you, the Provider, help Empower’s members. The purpose of the MRDR is to identify areas for improvement in medical records and confirm compliance with state and federal regulations as well as best practices.
Your medical records for Empower’s members are the key to this process.
