## Resource

Health information management conferences expose a massive continental divide: US teams fight endless billing complexity while Canadian facilities struggle to capture basic clinical facts. Structural differences in healthcare funding alter the daily operational reality for professionals on each side of the border. Healthcare IT Today sits down with Jodi McMullin, CEO of ScoJo Consulting, at the eHealth26 conference to unpack how distinct funding models dictate the daily reality of clinical coding. You will discover how portfolio funding versus multi-payer commercial models impacts code volume, and why both systems face severe data accuracy challenges. Learn how clinical documentation improvement programs protect patient safety, reduce claims friction, and secure stable resources. 🔔 Subscribe for more great interviews with Health IT leaders.
