ZHealth Documentation is excited to share that Etch has expanded its interventional radiology procedure support with six new additions: Nephrostogram, Ureteral Stent, Nephrostomy Catheter, Nephroureteral Catheter, Peritoneal Port, and Tunneled Peritoneal Catheter. This update is a direct reflection of what we hear consistently from IR teams: the tools they rely on need to keep pace with the full range of procedures they perform.

‍

Each of these procedures carries its own clinical, technical, and imaging considerations, and Etch workflows are purpose-built to capture all of them. Etch guides clinicians and documentation staff through exactly what each procedure requires, and the code engine handles the rest. Procedure-specific workflows like these are only possible when the software is designed from the ground up for interventional radiology. It is the difference between software that supports IR and software that understands it.

‍

Incomplete or inconsistent records remain one of the leading drivers of claim denials and audit risk in IR practices. As the complexity of IR procedures increases, so does the scrutiny around how they are documented and coded. The downstream effects, from delayed reimbursements to compliance exposure, place a real burden on teams that are already managing demanding caseloads. Etch addresses this directly, pairing structured procedure workflows with a code engine built to support accuracy at every step, giving IR teams the ability to move faster without sacrificing documentation quality or compliance confidence.

‍

ZHealth Documentation remains committed to expanding Etch's procedure library and deepening its capabilities across the breadth of interventional radiology. We believe that when clinicians have the right tools in place, administrative friction fades into the background and the focus returns to where it belongs: patient care. Every procedure in Etch represents a workflow thoughtfully designed around the realities of IR practice, not pulled from a generic template.

‍

If your practice is performing any of these newly supported procedures and you would like to see how Etch can improve your documentation and coding workflows, we would love to connect. Our team is happy to walk you through what is new and show you what Etch can do for your practice.
