CDI for Case Management
-
Our CDI specialists help physicians clarify documentation of diagnoses in patient charts to appropriately reflect the severity of patients’ conditions. Documentation accuracy influences the predicted mortality rate and reimbursement for care.
-
When a patient is admitted to an acute care setting, our CDI specialist reviews the chart for clear documentation of the principal diagnosis that necessitated admission. This review supports the medical necessity of the admission and provides case managers a clear picture to share with insurers.
