ACDIS update: Webinar provides insight for developing systemwide clinical definitions
Some of the most commonly queried diagnoses become focus areas simply because different physicians have different clinical definitions for what constitutes a given condition.
To help reduce confusion, CDI professionals can bring coding, quality, and clinical teams together to conduct research and create systemwide, universally accepted criteria for these conditions. Join former ACDIS Advisory Board Member Tamara Hicks, RN, BSN, MHA, CCS, CCDS, ACM-RN, CCDS-O, and Joseph Cristiano, MD, FACP, for CDI Efforts in Crafting Systemwide Clinical Definitions: Making Clinical Indicator Definitions Actionable for Providers on Friday, August 21, 1-2:30 p.m., EST, where they’ll share the process developed at Wake Forest Baptist Health in North Carolina and provide tips for organizations to begin developing definition standardization projects.
