Outpatient CDI is a fast-growing area of focus for those working in the field. In a recent member poll, 33% of our audience reported that they either have an outpatient CDI program or they are planning to launch one within the next 12 months.

This past month was a busy one on the ACDIS Forum. From outpatient CDI, to clinical and coding, to pediatrics, the Forum had a conversation for everyone in every type of CDI program.

Did you know you can access all the ACDIS networking tools in one place on the website?

Over the past week, ACDIS asked its members to choose a theme for CDI Week 2017. Every year, facilities across the country celebrate the efforts of their CDI programs for one week in September. This year’s event takes place September 18-22. To help facilitate the festivities, ACDIS chooses an annual theme.

ACDIS requires the Local Chapter leaders to sign and return an agreement form annually. Though it may seem like a hassle at first, the agreement form provides a valuable framework for a chapter’s structure and formalizes the relationship between ACDIS National and the Local Chapters.
