Query: Clinical validation for respiratory failure diagnosis
Cheryl Ericson, MS, RN, CCDS, CDI-P, CDI education director at ezDI, donated this sample query to demonstrate how CDI specialists can use their queries as a method of clinical validation--to ensure the diagnosis documented in the medical record includes the necessary clinical indicators to support the diagnosis.
