About: Did you know that nearly 57% of CDI departments are involved in the denials management or appeals process? Did you know that roughly 68% of CDI programs offer staff at least partial remote work options?

The data found within this year’s CDI Week Industry Survey can offer CDI professionals insight not only into their own professional careers but also into the direction of their CDI programs compared to their peers, and trends within the broader CDI industry.

Each year, the Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists (ACDIS) surveys CDI professionals nationwide to take the pulse of the CDI industry. This year, respondents answered questions regarding denials management, technology, physician engagement, quality, and outpatient expansion.

During CDI Week 2019, ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald, Johanne Brautigam, BSN, RN, CCDS, Terry Simmons, MSN, RN, CCRN-K, CCDS, and Kaycie LeSage, MSHCM, RHIA, CCS, CDIP, CPC, offered this free 60-minute webinar featuring an in-depth discussion on the state of the CDI industry. This program was sponsored by 3M.

CCDS CEU information: This program was approved for one (1) CCDS continuing education credit through ACDIS. Listeners had until September 19, 2020, to take the survey and receive their free credit.
