Note from the Director of Programming

Exciting changes for ACDIS—but your membership benefits remain the same!

by Rebecca Hendren

You may have seen this week’s exciting news that HCPro, the parent company of ACDIS, has been acquired by the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), and you may be wondering what that means for ACDIS. The good news is that nothing is changing with our leadership and staff, with our membership benefits or education offerings, with the CCDS and CCDS-O certifications, or with our mission and vision for the association. Laurie Prescott, ACDIS interim director, and I will continue to run ACDIS, along with all the wonderful people you know and love, including our best in the world instructors and editors.

You can read the full announcement in the ACDIS Updates section of today’s CDI Strategies, but I wanted to take a minute to answer some of the questions you may have.

Advisory Board guidance 

Did you know that ACDIS members have access to advocacy and leadership from a peer elected ACDS Advisory Board? This guidance includes peer-reviewed position papers and white papers!  

Position papers are the association’s official, consensus stance on an issue, and are available to both members and non-members. They set a recommended standard for the CDI industry to follow. They advocate on behalf of a certain position or offer concrete solutions to a particular problem. You can find the latest position papers by clicking here. 

White papers discuss CDI best practice, advance new ideas, increase knowledge, or offer suggestions for administrative simplification. They are less formal than a position paper, but still peer reviewed. You can find the latest white papers by clicking here.
