Note from the ACDIS Editor

Join the Regulatory Committee and be a CDI advocate in public policy

by Jess Fluegel

CDI work never gets comfortable. While my work as an editor only gives me second-hand knowledge on all this profession requires, I’ve quickly become aware of this truth, and even experienced it in my own work. Just when I felt I had a basic understanding of record reviewing, querying, and engaging providers, I was asked to join as coordinator for something called the ACDIS Regulatory Committee. My very first question: “Is this the CDI police?”

No, as I’m sure most of you could have told me, the Regulatory Committee isn’t the regulation police! In fact, its members have been some of the CDI profession’s biggest advocates with participation in and promotion of needed changes in ICD-10-CM/PCS codes, severity levels, and DRG reassignments. And now, starting today, you have the chance to apply to be a part of this committee’s important work.
