Association for Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists

Need to brush up on issues critical to documentation improvement? We've created a series of online courses, complete with CE credits and interactive "test your knowledge exercises," to meet your needs.

Our courses currently offer Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS), coding, and case management CE credits, which are available upon taking a 10-question quiz at the end of each course. This valuable benefit helps ACDIS members maintain their certifications. Two of our courses (Major Complications/Comorbidities, and Renal Failure Coding and Physician Querying) also offer nursing CEUs.

We will post additional courses to the ACDIS library over the coming year.

At this time we offer courses on the following topics:

Hospital Acquired Conditions
Present on Admission: Reporting Strategies for Compliance and Quality
Inpatient coding: Physician queries
Inpatient coding: The respiratory system (new!)
Major complications/comorbidities (MCCs)
Speaking the physician language: Strategies for coders to obtain complete documentation
Understanding and applying the 2011 ICD-9-CM codes
2011 IPPS MS-DRG update
Renal failure coding and physician querying (new!)
