ACDIS update: What’s new on the ACDIS website?

As ACDIS gets ready to pull together a new team of volunteers to serve on the CDI Forms & Tools Committee in the new year, we wanted to take a few moments to remind you of some of the resources we’ve added in the second half of 2017.

If your CDI team is looking to revamp its educational efforts, policies, or add new positions in 2018, take a look at what we’ve added to the Resource Library to help you get started:

• Tip cards for physician and CDI education:
  
  • Respiratory Failure Clinical Criteria
  • Renal Failure Clinical Criteria
  • Renal Diagnoses Clinical Criteria
  • Adult Malnutrition Clinical Criteria
  • Sepsis Clinical Criteria
  • Malnutrition
  • Patient Safety Indicators Tip Card
  • Obesity documentation tips
• Job descriptions:
  
  • Physician advisor
  • Clinical documentation consult
• Policies and procedures:
  
  • Unanswered query escalation policy

As always, if you have a CDI tool you’re willing to share with the ACDIS community, please contact ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas (mvarnavas@acdis.org) and Editor Linnea Archibald (larchibald@acdis.org).
