- Mismatches with coding/coding conflicts: Experienced inpatient coders welcomed as presenters
- Legal issues in CDI: Speakers with legal background/credentials preferred.
- RAC defense and appeals

- Physician buy-in: Creative examples of increasing physician participation
- CDI in other settings—LTAC, outpatient, ED/observation, other units/settings
- Updates to the IPPS, MS-DRGs, CC/MCC lists
- Reviewing for quality measures/AHRQ
