Five wonderful reasons to attend ACDIS 2018
If you’re still on the fence about the 11^th annual ACDIS conference May 21-24 in San Antonio, TX, we have five good reasons why you should join more than 1,500 of your peers for the can’t-miss CDI event of the year.

Malnutrition: Will the OIG Be Coming to See You? Following on the heels of its kwashiorkor audits, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) tested the waters on severe malnutrition at Vidant Health, which had implemented a clinical initiative aimed at improving patient outcomes by applying ASPEN guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of malnutrition. Discover what happened to one of the institutions selected for the OIG’s test audits. Learn how the process works, the auditor rationales, and how Vidant responded to OIG investigations.
Our closing day keynote Allison Massari will send you home energized and inspired. Hailed by audiences worldwide as “life-changing,” “riveting,” “extraordinary,” “bold,” and “deeply moving,” Massari’s message of courage, kindness, and resilience resonates with participants long after an event has finished.
Is CDI the Secret to Success? How the Top Ranked Hospitals Outperform Peers in Quality: Advance your CDI program and your personal review skills with this featured session. A recent study found that 93% of hospitals with clinically focused CDI programs outperformed their peers in overall mortality ratings. In this session, participants will learn about the inextricable link between patient outcomes, hospital rankings, and hospital reimbursement to the quality of care that is delivered, documented, and measured. To view a complete listing of our sessions, check out our conference brochure.
Networking, atmosphere, and fun: All attendees attend our opening night reception in the exhibit hall, with a chance to meet with friends old and new over drinks and appetizers. For 2018 we’ve added a Closing Night Awards Reception; for just $25 additional join your peers and the 2018 ACDIS Achievement Awards winners in a beautiful indoor-outdoor venue. Plus we’re right on the scenic Riverwalk, and San Antonio is loaded with great restaurants and shopping.
Making your mark on the “One Thing” wall. Our theme this year is “One Thing.” We guarantee you will leave the ACDIS conference with at least one actionable takeaway, whether it’s in one of more than 50 sessions, or from one of 40+ poster presenters, or from the best peer-to-peer CDI networking opportunities around. We’re encouraging all our attendees to leave their own “One Thing” behind on our writeable “One Thing Wall.” It’s going to be inspiring and fun!
