AHIMA offers more CDI ethics advice
As the financial tug-of-war continues, with government and private payers on one side and healthcare providers on the other, it can be difficult for CDI staff to know where the bright white line of ethical behavior begins. This is one reason AHIMA released its Ethical Standards for Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists—to act as a guide to help CDI professionals stay on a principled path. The release is the final piece in a series of AHIMA publications aimed specifically at CDI staff. It joins a library that includes AHIMA's Code of Ethics and the Standards for Ethical Coding, as well as ACDIS’ own Code of Ethics.
