Note from the ACDIS Editor | Resources for everyone’s favorite topic | by Linnea Archibald Pretty much every month, when I look through the ACDIS website analytics, the top search term remains the same. Month after month. Year after year. Sepsis takes the cake for the most search terms and therefore the number one topic for our members. Though it’s been several years since the release of the infamous and hotly debated sepsis-3 definition, this troublesome diagnosis remains front and center on CDI professionals’ radars. And for good reason. When asked about their top denied diagnoses on the 2019 CDI Week Industry Survey, nearly 70% gave sepsis the number one spot. It’s also CDI professionals’ top queried diagnosis when it comes to clinical validation, according to the survey. While this diagnosis may be giving CDI professionals some symptoms of altered mental status, ACDIS has a number of resources available to help you sort through the clouds of confusion. |

| Blog Highlight | Do you have a tip, story, or perspective to share with the broader ACDIS and CDI community? If you’re interested in writing a piece for the Blog, here are a couple guidelines for you: Length: Typically, 500-700 words. If your post is longer, we may break it into two posts for readability. Content: All things CDI (and coding too)! We love hearing about your experiences and the lessons you’ve learned about CDI along the way. Besides those two guidelines, all you have to do is submit your piece to ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org). | |
