ACDIS update: Upcoming webinar focuses on respiratory failure/insufficiency
You breathe in to get oxygen from the air into your blood. You breathe out to remove carbon dioxide. Just breathing—it’s a simple process so many of us take for granted.
Yet, the U.S. saw an estimated million-plus respiratory failure discharges in 2017, according to the Society of Critical Care Medicine. With complex clinical indicators, coding criteria, and various quality-of-care concerns related to respiratory failure, the diagnosis remains a challenge for CDI and coding professionals alike.
Join us on Thursday, July 29, 1-2:30 p.m. ET for a 90-minute webinar with trusted CDI expert William E. Haik, MD, FCCP, CDIP. During this program, he will provide a detailed look at the diagnostic underpinnings necessary for CDI professionals to craft compliant queries. He’ll also review coding and claim conundrums, and examine concerns related to patient safety indicators and other quality measures.
