ACDIS update: Resource Library Committee seeks submissions to fill gaps in library offerings

The ACDIS resource library features sample educational tools, job descriptions, policies and procedures, and query forms that are contributed by and for ACDIS members. These materials are then reviewed for compliance, helpfulness, and accuracy by our Resource Library Committee!

Upon convening for the 2023 committee term, the Resource Library Committee’s first task was to review the older materials within ACDIS’ Resource Library to ensure samples posted to the website were still relevant to today’s CDI professional. During the course of their reviews, the committee removed several materials that were no longer useful and identified gaps in our current offerings. Now, the committee is looking for submissions from the ACDIS members in the following areas:

• Sample tip sheets on
  
  • Sepsis
  • Acute renal failure
  • Congestive heart failure (CHF)
  • Debridement
  • Body mass index
  • Malnutrition
  • Pneumonia
  • Complications
• Job descriptions for denials management specialists
• Policies for career ladder steps
• Pre-hire assessment questions for new hires
• Query policies and procedures
• Telecommuting and flex schedule policies
• Staff orientation checklists
• Chart review worksheets
• Escalation policies
• Query and staff audit tools
• Sample queries for
  
  • Kidney disease
  • Debridement
  • Signs and symptoms
  • CHF
  • Cerebral artery infarction
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Ileus
  • Functional quadriplegia

Note that each and every tool in the ACDIS Resource Library is contributed by an ACDIS member and reviewed for helpfulness and compliance by the Resource Library Committee. The Library is built by members and for members. If you have any questions about the submission process or the committee’s work, please contact the ACDIS team at info@acdis.org.
