ROI beyond reimbursement: CDI quality reviews

by Carolyn Riel
Most CDI programs came into being with the primary focus of financial improvement and reimbursement accuracy: capturing CCs/MCCs to shift the MS-DRG placement to one with a higher relative weight. The impacts of these efforts were straightforward to demonstrate, and highlighting a return on investment (ROI) was as simple as showing the DRG shifts associated with CDI activities.
