This compact reference guide is essential for any new or experienced CDS, coder, physician advisor, and any others involved in CDI.

What’s NEW in 2016?

ICD-10! You’ll find all sections of the guide updated with the ICD-10-CM Official Coding Guidelines, Coding Clinic, ICD-10 codes, tips, and strategies to ease the transition from ICD-9.

In addition to ICD-10, we have added new clinical references, including accidental puncture and laceration, injuries and fractures, peritonitis, and more. Our expanded comorbid conditions section includes secondary diagnoses with high impact on MS-DRGs and APR-DRGs, as well as quality and CMS pay-for-performance outcome metrics.

You’ll find updated citations of medical literature and other authoritative sources to support diagnostic definitions, criteria, and guidelines, in addition to strategies for integrating CMS pay-for-performance initiatives into your CDI program.

“My CDI Pocket Guide is an invaluable tool! I reference it daily in my reviews, writing queries and educating physicians regarding documentation opportunities. I would be lost without it!”
