Construct a clinical documentation improvement (CDI) oversight committee to help ensure your clinical documentation improvement program is meeting its goals. Along with a representative(s) from CDI, include physician champions, the medical director, chief financial officer, the HIM director, coding manager, and compliance staff, says Jean Clark, RHIA, director of health information services at Roper St. Francis Healthcare in Charleston, SC.
Meet quarterly to review your program's progress and its benchmark data to ensure your program is on track.
