Note from the Advisory Board: Do your metrics really measure CDI impact?

by Cheryl Ericson, MS, RN, CCDS, CDI-P
What keeps healthcare chief financial officers (CFO) up at night? A recent article published by Becker’s Hospital Report covering CFOs’ top 2016 concerns found that many were worried about remaining profitable. How can this be?

According to a variety of recent surveys, more than 80% of hospitals now have CDI programs. However, even with the efforts of their CDI teams, CFOs are concerned about continued losses associated with treating CMS beneficiaries. It isn’t enough just to have a CDI program. Organizations need a robust CDI program, one that can evolve to navigate the ever-changing reimbursement landscape.
