CDI WORKSHOP 2.0: 
Bullet-Proofing Documentation For Denial Prevention And Appeals

This workshop will include a study of the underlying causes, clinical indicators, and treatment of three target diagnoses: Sepsis, Encephalopathy and Malnutrition.  Each section integrates these concepts into the identification of query opportunities to bullet-proof documentation against an audit, and instruction on documenting the CDI thought process into a well-organized note to support a denials appeal.  This workshop will include breakout sessions, and Chart review practice.

Objectives:

  2. Compare clinical indicators and treatment to general payer requirements and OIG work plans.
  3. Integrate clinical evidence into a well-organized thought process to support a denials appeal.
  4. Demonstrate the ability to identify query opportunities and formulate a compliant, concise query.
