CDI Management Essentials
Effective management of a CDI department is not for the faint of heart. It requires knowledge of audit and compliance initiatives, metrics, and the revenue cycle, balanced with the hard to learn “soft skills” of staff management, including onboarding and training, developing career ladders, and change management. It also requires knowledge of how to build a business case for smart expansion into new service lines. The CDI Management Essentials pre-conference event will help you learn the skills to become a better manager, improve hospital and department performance, and increase the satisfaction and retention of your valuable CDI staff reviewers.
