Note from the Associate Editorial Director

Celebrating HIP Week

by Linnea Archibald

It’s Health Information Professional (HIP) Week and that makes it the perfect time to celebrate the HIM professionals in our lives! Whether your CDI team includes HIM/coding credentialed individuals or not, CDI professionals by nature of their roles interact with these folks on a regular basis. CDI serves as the bridge between the clinical and coding worlds, so a good working relationship and appreciation for both sides of the house is essential. Plus, according to our most recent ACDIS data, more than a quarter of CDI departments report to the HIM/coding leadership and likely sit (whether in the office or virtually) next to their HIM peers every day.

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).
