What part of your ACDIS membership means the most to you?
by Rebecca Hendren
Recently, ACDIS celebrated an exciting milestone as we welcomed the 5,000th member to our association. Our profession has grown enormously in the last decade—and so has ACDIS—and we are thrilled that, as our rosters grow, we are able to expand the amount of educational offerings we provide and the networking opportunities members can enjoy.
The occasion of the 5,000th member got me thinking about members both old and new. Some of you have been members for many years, and have seen ACDIS grow and expand. Others have only recently joined, and may still be poking around the website trying to determine what materials will be most useful for you.
I would love to hear which part of your ACDIS membership means the most to you and what you find most valuable. What can’t you live without? Is it the bimonthly CDI Journal, filled with analysis of the latest regulatory developments and best practices for CDI challenges? Is it the discount on the annual conference? Or is it the ACDIS Forum, which you can log in to at any time, day or night, and ask your peers how they handle a situation?
Please drop me a note at rhendren@acdis.org and let me know.
Your comments will help us as we plan ways to enhance membership and help everyone make the most of the many benefits this close-knit community offers.
Some of your responses may also help me with the most fun part of my role with ACDIS, which is that to develop new education and training products that will help CDI professionals and their organizations stay up-to-date on changing requirements, train new CDI professionals, or help educate providers and others on the importance of documentation integrity. I look forward to hearing from you!
