Get Ready for a Career in CDI! Perhaps you’ve heard of the growing field of clinical documentation improvement but aren’t sure if your professional background represents a good fit for the role. A few stalwart CDI professionals offered their thoughts on this topic in a recent discussion string on the ACDIS Forum, a members-only discussion string. “CDI is a unique profession and not everyone, whether they are a nurse or a coding professional, is fit for it,” wrote Advisory Board member Irina Zusman, RHIA, CCS, CCDS, director of HIM, coding, and CDI initiatives at NYU Langone Health in New York City. “The most important attributes for the profession are critical thinking, excellent communication skills, and an ability to learn.” The ACDIS CDI Apprenticeship Certificate Program includes the top topics and clinical conditions new CDI specialists need to learn in order to hit the ground running, as well as the principles they must master to ensure compliant practice. This program will help you assess whether your own skill set supports a transition into the field and identify what additional tools and education might be needed to help you take the leap into this exciting field. One of our happy customers said, “I really like how interactive the interface is and how each item has been placed under well-thought categories. The study material kept me engaged and helped me understand.” |
