Exclusive: AHIMA Reveals New CDI Brief

The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has just released a new practice brief focused on prospective clinical documentation integrity reviews and query alerts.

Being revealed for the first time during the next edition of Talk Ten Tuesdays, the practice brief was developed by AHIMA through a workgroup of clinical documentation integrity (CDI) industry experts. The free practice brief explores the need for prospective reviews and the impact they have on the CDI industry. The publication also provides information on the provider perspective and how to manage the data obtained in prospective reviews. Every CDI professional will benefit from the practice brief by recognizing the compliance standards that should be followed when performing prospective health record reviews.

• Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will have the broadcast’s Coding Report, and its weekly Listeners Survey.
