ACDIS update: Join us for a sepsis coding, documentation webinar on April 29!

Join us next week on Thursday, April 29, at 1 p.m. eastern for the Sepsis Coding & Documentation webinar. This webinar dives into the coding and documentation specifics of one of the most stubborn diagnoses that CDI professionals run into.

Sepsis continues to be one of the most common conditions sparking physician queries for CDI professionals. It causes nearly 300,000 deaths annually, and its conflicting clinical criteria, confusing coding instructions, and convoluted CMS regulations make capturing sepsis documentation critical.

Furthermore, throughout 2020, COVID-19 patients have experienced an immune response called cytokine storm, which in turn may lead to sepsis. So, how should CDI professionals be differentiating sepsis from a regular infection? The whole conflict boils down to this fundamental issue.

During this program, ACDIS Regulatory Committee member and renowned speaker Cesar Limjoco, MD, will walk participants through the various definitions of sepsis and help them create a plan for effective and compliant query practices.
