Note from the ACDIS Director

ACDIS is getting engaged! (With physicians. You know what we mean.)

by Brian Murphy

Provider/physician engagement (pick your synonymous term for the person who diagnoses and provides medical care) has always been a core function of CDI. CDI specialists don’t just review records and issue queries to the provider. They also teach them the why behind the need for accurate, complete, and specific documentation.

In recent years, however, some organizations have noticed a change in that relationship. Remote CDI, which has been a boon for attracting and retaining CDI reviewers and is now an industry standard, has in some cases led to an erosion of the provider/CDI relationship.

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).
