Note from the ACDIS Director

Don’t miss your last chance to take critical action—Vote in the ACDIS advisory board election

By Brian Murphy

I recently had someone tell me how much they loved our white paper, “How to conduct a medical record review,” enough to use it as a baseline for a policy in their own organizational policy. Another person mentioned that they found the position paper “Developing Effective CDI leadership” very helpful and inspiring. Neither was written without the efforts of the ACDIS advisory board.

The recent 2019 update to the ACDIS/AHIMA “Guidelines for Achieving a Compliant Query Practice” brief was written with help of an advisory board of volunteers, representing ACDIS and collaborating with volunteers from AHIMA.
