2023 CDI Leadership Council Research Series Recap

December 7, 2023

Years of growth have allowed CDI programs to put down deep roots and establish themselves as an indispensable part of an organization’s overall health. CDI programs are an invaluable piece of a healthy healthcare organization’s ecosystem, and their impact can be felt in far reaching areas, but CDI leaders must choose priorities judiciously to avoid scope creep and staff burnout. According to members of the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council, just under 33% have a mission statement specifically for their CDI department to help hone their focus.

In collaboration with 3M Health Information Systems, ACDIS issued a survey in January 2023 to members of the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council to gauge the ways CDI programs are making a difference for their organizations and shaping their practice in response to shifting priorities. The survey gathered data on the current state of CDI involvement in the denials management and clinical validation process, the ways in which CDI teams impact quality metrics, and how CDI teams are optimizing their practices to make a comprehensive difference for their organizations.

Now, ACDIS is pleased to partner again with 3M to share the results of this survey with the broader CDI community and highlight the implications for all CDI professionals—both those in leadership and staff-level positions.

Join ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald, members of the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council, and a special guest panelist from 3M for a free webinar on Thursday, December 7, 1-2:30 p.m. eastern, featuring an in-depth discussion of the priorities and challenges leaders face and an open question and answer session.
