Membership Update: 2018 speaker application deadline Monday 9/25
The Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists (ACDIS) is currently seeking speakers to present at the 2018 ACDIS 11th Annual Conference, to be held May 21-24 in San Antonio, Texas at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center. The deadline for submissions has been extended due to the devastation brought by hurricanes Harvey and Irma. The new deadline is September 25. Please note that teh speaker application period is now closed.
We seek speakers to present on all aspects of clinical documentation improvement (CDI). Advanced CDI sessions geared for mature programs are particularly welcome and will receive additional consideration but the 2018 Conference Committee also seeks to meet the needs of those new to the profession and those at an intermediate level.

CDI and/or HIM/coding professionals typically present at ACDIS, but we also welcome practicing physicians, case management and quality personnel, healthcare auditors, lawyers, and other professionals with a tie to or an interest in CDI. Accepted speakers and co-presenters will have their admission fee waived.
Based on the learning needs identified by participants of the successful 2017 ACDIS Conference, several topics have emerged as areas of great interest within the ACDIS community, including two new tracks—outpatient CDI and pediatric CDI.
