Happy Clinical Documentation Integrity Week 2023
Published on
Wednesday, September 20, 2023
We are mid-way through a week of celebrating Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists. This year marks the 13th annual Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) Week. The Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) theme for 2023 is CDI Success Stories: Writing your next chapter!
Like the detective in a good who done it book, CDI specialists review records to make sure all the key elements are in a patient’s “story.” They look for clues (clinical indicators) without a documented diagnosis and documentation without supporting clues and then work with physicians to make sure the record reflects the patient’s complete story.
MMP would like to wish all the hard-working CDI Professionals that we have the privilege to work with a happy CDI week. To help you prepare for the new CMS fiscal year, while celebrating this week, here are links to key documentation needed for a successful October 1st start of the 2024 CMS fiscal year.
