The first ever Clinical Documentation Improvement Week is being held this week, Sept. 18–24. This is a national week of recognition for clinical documentation improvement (CDI) specialists. Just like nurses, coders, and other professions have their own day or week of recognition, now the same can be said for the CDI profession. Clinical Documentation Improvement is a relatively new role in healthcare and one that is increasingly critical for accurate code assignment, reimbursement, quality scores, patient safety initiatives, and much more.
