Northern Illinois CDI Network meets Nov. 5

Our friends in Northern Illinois have been gathering regularly for more than two years now, and

St. Alexius Medical Center is the site of tomorrow's IL meeting.

were a tremendous influence in the organization of the larger Association of Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialists.

I would be remiss if I didn’t give them a “shout out” about their meeting tomorrow. I am sure that the gathering at St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, IL, will be just as successful as all the earlier Prairie State meetings.

Here’s a copy of the agenda:

• Donna Kennedy- Compliance issues affecting CDI process
• Jonathan Becker- Monitor/measuring CDMP program
• EHR- Electronic Health Record- Impact on CDI
• RAC- discovery of clinical documentation queries
• Linnea Thennes and Colleen Stukenberg-ACDIS local chapter
• Working process between CDS and Coders working from home
• Misc
