Attend one of the following boot camps: CDI for Outpatient Boot Camp (NEW!)
Nashville, TN - March 16-18, 2020 San Diego, CA - September 14-16, 2020
CDI for Outpatient Boot Camp provides tools for outpatient CDI professionals to practice in the outpatient setting and understand the impact of CDI functions. While outpatient CDI is still in it’s infancy, ACDIS is taking the lead in defining roles, focus, and establishing standards and core competencies, which are covered in this course. The boot camp examines diagnoses impacting hierarchical condition categories (HCCs), record review and query, medical necessity documentation, CDI role in charge capture, and ethics and compliance.
Risk Adjustment Documentation and Coding Boot Camp
Sterling (Dulles), VA - July 20-22, 2020 Des Plaines (Chicago), IL - November 16-18, 2020
The Risk Adjustment Documentation and Coding Boot Camp reviews both inpatient and outpatient coding guidelines and their application to the CMS-Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) methodology, and includes detailed instruction on the individual HCCs and identification of opportunities for improved documentation. Clinical scenarios are used to demonstrate concepts and validate learning.
This Boot Camp goes beyond just knowing how to code for a condition. It explores where coding information may be obtained as well as where to look for documentation deficiencies to improve overall risk scores. Similar to how implementing clinical documentation integrity (CDI) departments improves documentation for DRG assignment, this Boot Camp uses the same principles to improve documentation for risk adjustment. Clinical Documentation Integrity Boot Camp
Davidson (Charlotte), NC - April 27-30, 2020 Schaumburg (Chicago), IL - June 8-11, 2020 Portland, OR - August 3-6, 2020 Miami, FL - Novmeber 9-12, 2020
Improve your CDI know-how with ACDIS-endorsed best practices for medical record review and compliant physician querying. Learn the ins and outs of Medicare’s IPPS methodology and how it relates to short-term acute care hospital reimbursement, which is often a focus of CDI efforts. Specifically, participants learn about MS-DRG methodology, including how MS-DRGs are assigned and how documentation affects code assignment and sequencing.
A majority of the Boot Camp is dedicated to exploring diagnoses typically in need of clarification for proper code assignment and MS-DRG assignment. Armed with this knowledge, CDI specialists can credibly query physicians to ensure accurate claims data and reimbursement. |
