Note from the Instructor

Compliant query practice

by Laurie Prescott, RN, MSN, CCDS, CCDS-O, CDIP, CRC

I love to debate. I think when two people disagree a respectful discussion will result in one or both individuals learning something new. Interpretation of the ACDIS/AHIMA query practice brief published in 2019 often leads to some healthy debate. Of course, there are always shades of black and white, but with most examples of regulatory guidance you will find differing shades of grey, too.

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).
