In 2016, those sitting for the Certified Clinical Documentation Specialist (CCDS) exam face the biggest changes to the test yet. The updated exam has been expanded, and has a brand-new section on quality of care. In addition, it incorporates updates to the Official ICD-10-CM Guidelines for Coding and Reporting as well as critical information from the AHA’s Coding Clinic for ICD-10-CM/PCS guidance related to documentation and querying.
To help candidates prepare, we’re releasing the new CCDS Exam Study Guide in December. In addition to the content updates, the new Guide also comes with an online practice exam, allowing prospective examinees to get instant results.
