The Provider Query Toolkit: A Guide to Compliant Practices

This resource will provide readers with:

• Foundational knowledge for new CDI specialists of query processes and an awareness of compliance concerns.
• Support for those expanding their reviews (and therefore queries) to a new area, such as outpatient or clinical validation.
• Guidance for managers/directors to establish compliant query practices and provide policies to stay updated on current regulatory changes.
• Assurance that processes and compliance standards are being met regardless of setting (e.g., short-term acute care, long-term acute care, children’s hospital, rehab facility, or physician practice).
