ACDIS update: Weigh in on CDI staffing shortages

Do you feel like your CDI program is short staffed, too? With all three of CDI feeder professions feeling the strain of limited workforce, how does your program plan on nurturing and onboarding new employees? Has your CDI program implemented career ladders, step increases, or incentives to keep otherwise retiring staff employed?
