Chicago, Ill. – January 6, 2025– HCPro is proud to announce the official launch of its groundbreaking Provider Education Microlearning Series, set to debut on January 6, 2025. This innovative series is designed to deliver essential training on clinical documentation integrity (CDI), coding, and revenue cycle management to healthcare providers in a focused and convenient format. 

Authored by esteemed experts Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC, and Dr. James Manz, MD, FAAOS, CCDS-O, from Mayo Clinic, the series comprises over 30 state-of-the-art microlearning modules that cover critical topics for both inpatient and outpatient providers.  

“Our Provider Education Microlearning Series is a game-changer for healthcare professionals,” said Chelsea Brookes, Director of eLearning at HCPro, LLC. “By providing targeted, bite-sized training, we empower providers to enhance their documentation skills, ultimately leading to improved quality scores and reduced denials.” 

The microlearning experience is enhanced with exclusive features designed to boost provider engagement and achieve meaningful results: 

• Downloadable Tip Sheets: Providers will have access to quick-reference takeaways for effective implementation of learned concepts. 

• Physician-to-Physician Guidance: Engaging audio vignettes featuring Dr. James Manz will help providers understand the rationale behind the education. 

• Evaluation Questions: Strategically placed within each module, these questions allow providers to earn Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits during the learning process, eliminating the need for a time-consuming final exam. 

• ACDIS Certificate of Documentation Integrity: Participants can earn a certificate of completion, demonstrating their competence in documentation. 

• Continuing Education Credits: The series offers Category 1 CMEs, ANCC, CCDS, NAHRI, and AHIMA credits. 

 

The Provider Education Microlearning Series aims to teach providers the importance of proper documentation, helping to reduce the number of queries sent to them, improve quality scores, and ultimately minimize denials.
