Note from the Certification Coordinator

Commonly heard recertification questions and comments

By Penny Richards

While there is a wealth of information related to the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) and CCDS-Outpatient credential programs available on the ACDIS website, I get a few questions repeatedly. Usually, these questions come from folks who are up for recertification for the very first time who are nervous and in need of some assistance.

Here are a few of the more frequently asked questions. I hope it helps make your recertification process a bit smoother.

Blog Highlight

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).
