Symposium spotlight: Brewery tour winners announced, free outpatient CDI stats available

All those who registered to attend the ACDIS Symposium: Outpatient CDI by the early bird deadline (September 20) were entered into a drawing for one of four free tickets to an Austin Brewery tour. The winners (drumroll, please) are…Sara Burns, Chris Braun, Kristen Cummins, and Sheri Blanchard! Congratulations to our winners! We hope you’ll have a great time exploring Austin’s beer scene and getting to know each other.

Even if you missed the early bird (and therefore the giveaway) deadline, there’s still plenty of time to join the outpatient CDI fun and register for the event, which takes place November 14-15 in Austin, Texas. Remember, ACDIS members always get $100 off their conference admission.

Outpatient reviews are quickly becoming the norm for healthcare organizations. In fact, roughly 40% of respondents to this year’s CDI Week Industry Survey currently review outpatient records. While there were a number of review focus areas represented by survey responses, most (roughly 47%) said they focus their reviews on hierarchical condition category capture.
