The Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) is proud to sponsor the ninth annual Clinical Documentation Integrity Week. This week is a time to recognize CDI specialists for the critical role they perform within the healthcare industry. It's also a time for those working as CDI specialists to thank their partners in the documentation process, which include physicians, other clinicians, and HIM/coding professionals. This year’s theme is CDI Superheroes: The Heroes Hospitals Deserve. ACDIS has a number of resources available for your use during the week, including:

• 2019 CDI Week downloadable poster
• Daily Q&As with industry experts
• 2019 CDI Week crossword and word find puzzles
• A CDI Week fact sheet to help spread the news
• A list of suggested activities for your celebration
• ACDIS and CDI Week branded items for purchase
• A free webinar on Thursday, September 19

Now more than a decade removed from CDI programs’ widespread adoption, CDI professionals have an impact on nearly all aspects of healthcare—from reimbursement, to quality reporting, to denials prevention and appeal writing, to patient care. That’s what the 2019 CDI Week theme celebrates—“CDI Superheroes: The Heroes Hospitals Deserve.” This year’s Industry Overview Survey supports that claim to superhero-hood, showing just how much potential good CDI can bring to an organization.
