Coders and others who perform queries have waited seven years for AHIMA to update its 2001 practice brief, "Developing a Physician Query Process," and now, the wait is finally over. On September 29, AHIMA published "Managing an Effective Query Process," which continues to focus on compliant queries, but with a timely twist that reflects recent operational and regulatory changes, including clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs, concurrent queries, and EHRs.
