CDI's role in respiratory failure webinar March 21!

CDI Blog - Volume 10, Issue 32

Join us for a webinar discussing CDI's role in respiratory failure on March 21, 1 p.m. EST!

Hospital-wide clinical standards for respiratory failure and related diagnoses are a hard thing to come by. However, lacking these standards, CDI specialists will struggle to compose effective queries. To complicate things further, coding rules, assignment criteria, reimbursement rules regarding payment for Patient Safety Indicators, and other value-based purchasing and quality measures add to the chaos of proper code assignment.

To learn more, join speakers Robert Stein, MD, CCDS, and Jennifer Eaton, RN, MSN, CCDS, as they discuss the role CDI query and education efforts play in the accurate reimbursement and appropriate capture of the all-important quality measures for these common conditions. At the conclusion of this program, you will be able to: 

  • Articulate the impact of respiratory failure on value‐based quality outcomes
  • Explain the impact of respiratory failure on quality metric targets
  • Understand sequencing guidelines and coding principles
  • List criteria that qualifies a diagnosis to be considered as an “other” diagnosis
  • Discuss the role of compliant documentation in code assignment
  • Analyze clinical indicators of selected diagnoses to improve query opportunities
