Our Journal is the Premier Publication for CDI Professionals! The number one resource ACDIS members cherish is the bi-monthly, online, 40+ page publication CDI Journal. In fact, in a January 2018 survey, 78% of respondents said they find the CDI Journal beneficial.
“There is always quality, useful information available and the benefit of getting a continuing education credit for the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist credential just for reading something that helps me perform my job to the highest of standards makes it even more worth the effort,” wrote one respondent...And no, we didn’t pay her to write that!

Each edition of the CDI Journal includes several feature articles where ACDIS Editor, Linnea Archibald, weaves interviews from various CDI professionals to illuminate important opportunities for program enhancement. For example, in the article “With big health systems come big responsibilities,” published in the July/August edition, Tonya Motsinger, MBA, BSN, RN, System Director of CDI at Ohio Health in Columbus, and Mel Tully, MSN, CCDS, Vice President of CDI clinical services and education at Nuance, based in Atlanta, share their insights on how to manage CDI programs across large health systems.
“The job of unifying a distributed team can seem daunting and even the most stalwart of leaders may not quite know where to start. The best way to begin is by assessing the current cultural landscape across the system—establish a baseline,” Motsinger says, in the article.
