ACDIS update: Share your experience with managing a remote staff in a CDI Journal article

According to the 2022 CDI Salary Survey, 56.45% of respondents work 100% remotely, while another 30.2% work partially remotely, either with a set number of days on-site per week or with the option to go on-site as needed, and less than 10% of survey respondents work fully on-site. This stands in stark contrast to prior to the pandemic, when only 13.43% of survey respondents worked 100% remotely! As CDI leaders have managed this change, there are plenty of lessons we can learn.

For our upcoming May/June edition of the CDI Journal, ACDIS is focusing on CDI management and leadership topics such as best practice for managing remote staff in a CDI program as hybrid and fully remote positions have become the normal. What resources do you use to keep your department connected? What programs have you developed or modified to keep up education? What problems have you overcome, and how? These are just a few questions you could ask yourself if you decide to write on this topic!

We’d also love to hear from contributors with advice on homegrown tools developed for CDI success in general. Especially when you have to manage CDI on a tighter budget, what tools have you created or found to compensate? As always, we’re open to any topic you have interest in writing on as well. Your advice can provide other CDI professionals with inspiration and education that will propel them towards success in their own programs! Plus, Journal writers who publish with us can earn ACDIS CEUs.

To submit an article under the May/June edition, send your draft to be considered for publication to Associate Editor Jess Fluegel (jfluegel@acdis.org) and Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org). Also please include a short professional bio and headshot with your submission. All articles are due by Monday, April 3, to be considered for this edition!

To earn one (1) Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS)/CCDS-Outpatient (CCDS-O) CEU, writers need to have contributed a 700-1,500-word article published in the CDI Journal. Please note that each edition has limited space, so your article may be placed in a different publication as needed, and that only articles chosen for the Journal will be eligible for a CEU at the discretion of the ACDIS editorial team. Contributors published in the Journal receive 0.5 CEUs per 350 published words.
