Collaboration between the CDI team and the coders was key to ensuring accuracy and success with audits in 2014 as well as this year.

Lueck, BSN, RN, who adds that the two groups have continued to work as a team via regular meetings, training courses, and procedure coding exercises by way of conference calls every other month.
