Note from the ACDIS Director

Signs of a strong CDI comeback

by Brian Murphy

A new and renewed place of prominence in the hospital revenue cycle. New hires and increased staffing. New job descriptions, focused on denials and quality. Merging with departments and creating a unified front against auditors, breaking down old and outdated silos.

Taken together these sound like the ideal state of CDI, and maybe a bit of a pipedream. But it’s what’s going on right now, according to a discussion that emerged from my recent meeting with the ACDIS Advisory Board.

Blog Highlight

Here's what's been published on the ACDIS Blog in the last week:

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) and Associate Editor Carolyn Riel (criel@acdis.org).
