Note from the ACDIS Editor
CDI Journal focuses on technological changes

By Linnea Archibald

Often, it feels like technology changes over night. Just when you master one element, it’s out of date and a new solution is coming down the pike. The March/April edition of the CDI Journal seeks to ease some of the consternation caused by technology’s evolution and the changes in workflow required to handle it.

Within this edition, readers will learn about the common pitfalls of electronic health records (EHR) and how CDI can help improve the situation, best practices for working with computer-assisted coding/natural language processing, and how to build a DIY outpatient tracking solution.
