Conference corner: Check out the agenda for our physician advisor pre-conference event

Just before the annual conference kicks off, join us for The Physician Advisor’s Role in CDI from May 7-8 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, where you can engage in two days of education delivered by the country’s leading physician advisors!

With two tracks on day 1, this event is perfect for new and veteran physician advisors alike. Track 1, Physician Advisor 101: Core Skills and Responsibilities, led by Trey La Charité, MD, FACP, SFHM, CCS, CCDS, breaks down the key responsibilities of the physician advisor, building a strong foundation for those new to the role.

Track 2, Expanding and Innovating the Role of the Physician Advisor, is designed for those who have been in the role for some time, featuring intermediate and advanced-level presentations from physician advisors on the forefront of the profession. The two tracks come together on day 2 to cover topics such as mortality scores, hierarchical condition categories, clinical validation denials, and more.

Across these two days you can expect in-depth education on topics such as leveraging metrics to demonstrate return on investment, using a peer-to-peer process to improve denial rates, creating a physician advisor dashboard to track metrics, decreasing DRG denials through specific strategies, and engaging providers in documentation efforts from the start.
