ACDIS update: ACDIS poll reveals percentage “unable to determine” query answers
Ever wonder how your CDI program ranks in terms of physician query responses? Wondering if your facility is the only one that struggles to reduce the number of doctors who habitually answer “unable to determine” as a means to bypass supporting CDI?
According to a recent ACDIS poll, most CDI programs seem to have fairly low “unable to determine” response rates. Here are the results:

ACDIS periodically runs polling questions sent by ACDIS members to help benchmarking their programs. If you have a CDI question you’d like answered, send it to ACDIS Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org). The ACDIS team is happy to do some digging for you!
