ACDIS update: Last chance to apply to an ACDIS committee!

To every clock, there is a gear; to every machine, a part; and to every professional association, a committee. Committees are the motor of any organization: they are the networking interface responsible for the dissemination of knowledge, the formulation of policy, and the creation of professional events.

And at ACDIS, this is especially the case!

Currently, our own ACDIS committees are looking for volunteer applications until the end of the day on Friday, June 30. However, because we know this is a busy time of year, we will also accept applications if you get them in by the end of the day on Tuesday, July 4! Here are the list of committees still accepting applications:

• Events Committee members help plan the agenda for the ACDIS national conference and ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI, as well as choose the winners of the ACDIS Achievement Awards. For a more detailed list of responsibilities, read the Events Committee scope of work.
• Furthering Education Committee members maintain and award the ACDIS CDI Scholarship program. They also help plan CDI Week activities and festivities and contribute education to the celebration each year. For a more detailed list of responsibilities, read the Furthering Education Committee scope of work.
• Regulatory Committee members divide into three subgroups tasked with promoting better coding and clinical accuracy within the commentary period of the CMS IPPS rule-making process. They also monitor and provide guidance on quality regulations. For a more detailed list of responsibilities, read the Regulatory Committee scope of work.
• Diversity and Inclusion Committee members work to make CDI a community that embodies social responsibility through promoting a positive environment of greater diversity and inclusion across all cultures, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, and educational backgrounds. They also work to break the silence that accompanies discrimination and inequity, and to ensure that all feel valued, empowered, and welcomed. For a more detailed list of responsibilities, read the Diversity and Inclusion Committee scope of work.
• The Physician Advisor Committee is a brand-new committee looking for physician advisors to help craft guidance and best practices for other physician advisors in CDI! Among its tasks, the group will author a white paper on the role of the physician advisor in CDI and recommend best practices.
