Welcome to the 2016th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations. The 16th year of the 3rd millennium. When you put it like that, doesn’t it seem almost mystical? Like anything could happen this year?
So let’s start the year off right with today’s launch of the now weekly email newsletter CDI Strategies. You’ll get all the same information regarding ACDIS activities and industry news as before only now you’ll get more of it!
Special thanks to ACDIS Editor Kathrine Rushlau who celebrated her one-year work anniversary with us this week for her efforts to help this new initiative take flight.
You can help, too! If you have an idea for an article or would like to share your facility’s CDI experiences email Katy at krushlau@acdis.org. As always, ACDIS’ strength comes from its amazing community of dedicated documentation improvement professionals who offer their insights freely for the benefit of us all.
Here’s to all the sharing, growth, and learning we’ll accomplish together in 2016!
