Ensuring accurate documentation, capturing a true clinical picture, and pushing quality objectives are always front of mind for CDI teams.

Key takeaways: According to survey respondents, the three most popular measures to show CDI process effectiveness are query rate (81%), response rate (79%), and review rate (77%). When asked how valued their CDI department is for contributing to financial performance, more than half (58%) of respondents said they feel extremely valued.
