Note from the ACDIS Director

It's time for outpatient CDI to step out on its own

By Brian Murphy

We knew it was going to happen.

Eventually, the ACDIS Conference was going to get so big that we couldn’t give every CDI topic justice or the full coverage it deserved. Outpatient CDI was one of those topics. Enter the ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI.

Membership Update

Radio Recap: New resources for secondary diagnoses, cardiology available

Community is a huge component of ACDIS. Part of what it means to be in community is sharing resources with others—something that’s always been a hallmark of the ACDIS membership experience. This past week, following the July 12 episode of ACDIS Radio, guest Deborah Dallen, BSN, RN, CCDS, clinical documentation manager for the Einstein Healthcare Network in Philadelphia/Montgomery County, shared some resources for the broader ACDIS family.

CCDS update: Website changes, flowcharts simplify CCDS information

For those of you who’ve visited the CCDS pages on the ACDIS website before, you likely did a lot of reading. To keep the the information on the pages is correct, current, and comprehensive, the ACDIS team recently gave the CCDS pages a facelift.

Local chapter updates: Summer-time meetings offer opportunities for quick insight

Local chapter leaders sometimes struggle with knowing just when their members want to meet. ACDIS encourages chapters and networking groups to meet at least four times per year but the scope and format of those events can change to meet the need to the local membership.
