This panel session will explore how a multi-disciplinary group of healthcare innovators and leaders have expanded their system’s CDI programs beyond revenue cycle and reimbursement. The panelists will share their organizations journey in leveraging CDI to break down functional silos, educate and engage physicians/internal teams, and leverage ICD-10 and technology tools to improve documentation and bridge the gap between clinicians and coders. The panelists will also share thoughts on the growing importance for outpatient CDI.

Session Objectives:

  • Learn about the evolving state of CDI programs at panelists’ healthcare systems—both inpatient and ambulatory—and the key success factors for taking CDI to the next level.
  • Learn about the measurable outcomes achieved by second-generation CDI implementations at the panelists’ healthcare systems.
  • Learn how CDI was fine tuned to ready panelist organizations for ICD-10 transition and value-based care.
  • Learn how physician resistance to CDI and silos were overcome through collaboration, training, and education deployed across panelists’ health systems.
