As part of the second annual Clinical Documentation Improvement Week, ACDIS has conducted a series of interviews with CDI professionals on a variety of emerging industry topics.
With a theme of “Physicians and CDI: Joining Forces in Clinical Documentation Excellence,” CDI Week 2012 underscores the critical importance of the partnership of CDI and physician staff.

Following is an overview of the survey results and Kennedy’s commentary.
