Director’s Note: Conference lineup set; poster applications and CDI Professional of the Year nominations sought
January 17, 2013
CDI Strategies - Volume 7, Issue 2
This year’s ACDIS Conference takes place May 21–23, 2013 at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
Take a second look at those dates—we have expanded this year’s conference to two and a half days to accommodate more than 30 great speakers and sessions and we’ve kept the price of the conference the same.
What types of sessions will you find at the conference? Here’s a sample:
- A case study from a lawyer who successfully defended a hospital against allegations of alleged improper physician queries
- A review of the new ASPEN malnutrition consensus guidelines and implementation strategies
- A panel presentation regarding results of a large-scale study, conducted by the University HealthSystem Consortium, regarding Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Patient Safety Indicators
- A session focusing on the different types of encephalopathy and capturing brain-related severity of illness
- A number of ICD-10 sessions, from specific documentation requirements under the new coding system to assessing vulnerabilities and developing educational action plans
- Sessions on merging CDI processes and procedures with electronic health records

Poster session applications
We’re also bringing back our popular poster session. The poster session is an informal way for hospitals to share their CDI-related successes with each other, network, and exchange ideas and information.
