Membership update: Quarterly conference call focused on clinical validation posted

“The CDI specialist is uniquely positioned to unify efforts to report claims data that accurately reflects the clinical scenario and the provider’s intent within the constructs of the ICD-10-CM/PCS code set. To fulfill this role, the CDI specialist must understand the role of clinical validation as it relates to payment denials and quality measure performance validation,” according to the new ACDIS white paper, “Clinical validation and the role of the CDI professional.”

Last week, ACDIS members were invited to join the ACDIS Advisory Board for the Quarterly Membership Conference Call, which focused on the new clinical validation white paper.

The call took place August 17, but members can listen to the recorded call now by visiting the call archive page on the ACDIS website or clicking here.

Should you have any questions about the paper or call, please email Associate Editorial Director Melissa Varnavas at mvarnavas@acdis.org.

Please note that this is an ACDIS membership benefit and only available to ACDIS members.

Note: This call qualifies for one (1) continuing education credit for Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) holders. To obtain this credit you must complete the KeySurvey link which will be available shortly following the call.
