The ACDIS 2025 National Conference marked a pivotal moment for e4health as we officially launched our e4health 360 Degree Auditing Approach, a comprehensive CDI auditing methodology powered by our proprietary tool e4auditor®. With a bustling booth and enthusiastic attendees, the excitement was palpable, and we’re eager to share how this innovative approach is set to transform Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) programs nationwide.
CDI is a complex and constantly evolving discipline, shaped by over 76,000 ICD codes and shifting industry standards. While coding professionals have long been subject to external audits, organizations are now extending similar scrutiny and improvement opportunities to the CDI team.
At e4health, we believe audits should be educational, empowering CDI teams to grow, remain compliant, and ultimately ensure organization receive the credit they deserve by showing an accurate clinical picture of each patient. By listening closely to feedback from our internal experts and valued customers, we officially launched e4auditor® for CDI—a powerful tool that captures the full scope of CDI audit data and translates it into actionable insights.
The e4health 360 Degree Auditing Approach
Built with both the CDS and CDI leaders in mind, e4auditor® for CDI delivers user-friendly, data-driven reports that support continuous improvement. Combined with our comprehensive auditing methodology, this solution represents a new standard for CDI excellence.
Our 360 Degree Auditing Approach includes:
- Comprehensive Record Reviews
Experienced, credentialed CDI auditors evaluate clinical documentation across all dimensions—including documentation gaps, clinical validation, query compliance, and documentation capture. - Alignment with Quality and Financial Metrics
We ensure clinical documentation supports both quality indicators (e.g., SOI/ROM, PSI/HAC) and financial outcomes, driving accurate reimbursement and improving reputational metrics like CMS Star Ratings. - CDI Education and Engagement
Through targeted rebuttals, feedback, and customized education, we equip CDI specialists with the insights needed to advance their expertise.
Powering Progress: e4auditor® at the Core
At the heart of our approach is e4auditor®, the robust reporting engine that makes real-time, data-driven CDI auditing possible. Key features include:
- Real-Time Data Dashboards
Track potential financial impact by facility, or CDS, giving CDI leaders immediate insight into performance. - Prioritized Reporting
Dashboards highlight metrics such as query opportunity and query compliance, helping teams focus on areas needed to advance their skillset - Cloud-Based Flexibility
As a SaaS solution, e4auditor® provides secure, on-demand access to dashboards and reports—anytime
With e4auditor®, raw audit data is transformed into strategic insights, enabling CDI teams to reduce denials, improve query compliance, and support accurate documentation and reimbursement.
Results that Speak for Themselves
At ACDIS 2025, we showcased how the e4health 360 Degree Auditing Approach, powered by e4auditor®, is already delivering measurable impact:
- One client identified an average of $700 in potential positive revenue per record reviewed, thanks to financial opportunities uncovered during the audit.
- Another organization achieved query compliance aligned with industry best practices, demonstrating the power of targeted education.
- Attendees were especially impressed by e4auditor’s trending capabilities, which allow audits and individual CDI performance to be tracked over time.
Why Our Approach Stands Out
Our success is built not just on innovative tools, but on partnership. As Staci Josten, SVP of CDI Solutions at e4health, shared:“Collaborating with our innovations team of software engineers to develop e4auditor® for CDI has been incredibly rewarding. By listening to both our internal experts and our clients, we created a solution that reflects the true needs of today’s CDI programs. What makes e4auditor® for CDI so impactful is how it pairs technology with the deep clinical and documentation expertise of our CDI auditors—transforming complex audit data into clear, actionable insights that help CDI Staff and leaders elevate performance and drive lasting improvement.”
