note = "Clinical documentation is the key determinant of inpatient acuity of illness and payer reimbursement. Every inpatient hospitalization is placed into a diagnosis-related group (DRG) with a relative value based on documented procedures, conditions, comorbidities, and complications. The case-mix index (CMI) is an average of these DRGs and directly impacts physician profiling, medical center profiling, reimbursement, and quality reporting.",
