Empowering CDI Excellence: Leading the Way with AI

CDI as a dedicated department gained traction in hospitals about 15 years ago, when MS-DRGs were first introduced. Since then, the list of DRGs has ballooned, mandatory quality programs were introduced, endless new technologies went live, and to top it all off, there was a global pandemic.

To put it mildly, it’s been a wild ride. And it’s taken a toll: According to the 2023 AHIMA Health Information Workforce Survey, two-thirds of survey respondents report understaffing and three-quarters report high burnout and employee dissatisfaction.

AI has sparked new hope, with nearly half of respondents reporting using AI or ML, but there are also questions: Will AI replace my CDI team? Is it as accurate? How do we fund it?

The team at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has been there: Join Terri Meier, CHFP, CRCR, LSSGB, assistant vice chancellor revenue cycle at UAMS, and Michael Gao, MD, CEO and co-founder of SmarterDx, to learn how UAMS answered those big questions about AI, as well as how AI can empower CDI teams to do their best work, reduce manual processes and accurately capture quality and revenue opportunities.
