2024 Mastermind Hot Topics, Part 2: Career ladders, provider engagement, UR collaboration, change management

A CDI leader’s role can be lonely, particularly if they are the sole CDI leader at their organization. Rather than facing their struggles alone, however, leaders can get much-needed advice, collaboration, and even commiseration by connecting with peers outside their organizations. The ACDIS CDI Leadership Council connects leaders nationwide for conversations about hot topics and industry trends, but the Mastermind group (a smaller subset of the Council) gives participants an opportunity for focused brainstorming and problem solving. 

This multitopic report, produced in partnership with Solventum, formerly 3M Health Care, shares takeaways from the second half of the 2023/2024 CDI Leadership Council Mastermind term. These conversations cover various leadership topics, including career ladders, provider engagement, CDI and utilization review/utilization management (UR/UM) roles, and change management. 

We hope that you’ll read the resource fully, but also that you can use it for focused guidance on topics central to your CDI program’s needs.
