Director’s Note: What makes a good CDI specialist?

I’ve received a few phone calls lately from people interested in the CDI profession. They want to know: Who are CDI specialists? Are they qualified to become one? It’s a difficult question to answer. Many  hospitals require an RN licensure. Others use nurses in combination with HIM/coding professionals, and still others use quality professionals or hospitalists to perform this function. There is no one right answer for which professional to use in the role of CDI specialist.

 

Not a member? Let's fix that!
