Telling the Complete CDI Story: Leadership Buy-In and Meaningful Metrics

Meaningful metrics can help leaders paint the picture of their department’s worth to organizational leadership, building the case for departmental expansion over time. Managing the data, however, could be a leader’s full-time job. The Association of Clinical Documentation Integrity Specialists’ (ACDIS) recent CDI Leadership Council survey, produced in partnership with SmarterDx, explored the metrics leaders track, the process of sharing that data with stakeholders, the platforms they leverage for data analysis, the ways they assess their staff’s competency, and the expansion plans for their department.

Several Council members were then asked to take a closer look at the survey data and discuss how CDI leaders and specialists can navigate the complicated business of data and analytics. In this industry report, readers get a full inside look at the ways leaders approach metrics and securing buy-in.
