The next ACDIS quarterly conference call will be held on Thursday, February 16, from 1-2 p.m. ET. ACDIS members will receive dial-in instructions on Tuesday, February 7.

What are ACDIS quarterly conference calls?

ACDIS quarterly conference calls are one hour live telephone conference calls offered as a means for ACDIS members to network with one another and to discuss any clinical documentation improvement related issues with the Advisory Board. They are offered as part of ACDIS membership.

ACDIS members receive dial-in instructions via e-mail. ACDIS director Brian Murphy and a few ACDIS Advisory Board members are on the calls to help spark discussion and networking. Members are encouraged to dial in at any time with their comments, thoughts, and questions, and may do so by pressing *1 on their telephone keypad.

We want your ideas and tough questions!

If you have any suggestions for discussion on our next call, please e-mail ACDIS Director Brian Murphy at bmurphy@cdiassociation.com. Conference calls are a great way to ask a question, air any and all concerns, or gather input on a policy or procedure at your hospital. Although we cannot guarantee getting to all the questions/discussion points, we will try to work as many in during the call as possible.
