“As healthcare organizations continue to utilize data that is becoming increasingly complex, it is essential that the data is captured and documented properly. Clinical documentation improvement (CDI) helps ensure that the events of the patient encounter are captured accurately and the electronic health record properly reflects the services that were provided.”
“Successful clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs facilitate the accurate representation of a patient’s clinical status that translates into coded data,” the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) explains on its website. “Coded data is then translated into quality reporting, physician report cards, reimbursement, public health data, and disease tracking and trending.”
