Note from the ACDIS Director

Why you should take ACDIS’ new CCDS-O certification exam

By Brian Murphy

We here at ACDIS have (affectionately) taken to calling outpatient CDI the “wild west.” The idea took root during our 2017 CDI Week due to its The Wild West: New Frontiers in CDI theme. But it’s quite apt.

In case you hadn’t noticed, there are many opportunities in outpatient CDI, ready to be tapped. Healthcare is increasingly shifting to outpatient settings and services, driven in part by the growth of Accountable Care Organizations, Medicare Advantage, and risk-based payer contracts. CDI is following suit, with CDI specialists working to clarify documentation in emergency rooms, clinics, and physician practices.

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).
