ACDIS update: Download the Leadership Council report on CDI and technology today
CDI work has evolved significantly over the industry’s history, particularly when it comes to technology and software solutions. CDI professionals have transitioned from paper charts to electronic health records (EHR), and now they’re making the leap to more advanced technology and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions such as computer-assisted physician documentation (CAPD), natural language processing (NLP), chart prioritization, and more.
While these solutions can increase productivity, free up time for education and complex reviews, and streamline workflows, CDI department leaders have the difficult task of making the case to organizational leadership for adopting new technologies. Once they’ve secured that support, they then must verify the tool meets their department’s specific needs and ensure a smooth transition for both their staff and the physicians at their organization.
In partnership with 3M, the ACDIS CDI Leadership Council asked several of its members to evaluate the results of a nationwide survey on advancing CDI with technology and to discuss their organizational approach to this topic. In this industry report, readers get a full inside-look at the expert CDI leadership conversation and the data surrounding the impact of technology on CDI work, budget planning, and more.
