CDI Insider

Hello colleague,

I hope you're enjoying these final weeks of summer and finding time to relax with family and friends. It's hard to believe how quickly this season passes. Before we know it, the backpacks are packed, the routines return, and we're wondering where the summer went!

As I've settled into my new role as Vice President of CDI Operations, one thing has become even more apparent to me: what makes this profession so special isn't just the work we doโ€”it's the people we have the privilege of partnering with. Every conversation with a customer, every discussion with our CDI leaders, and every opportunity to collaborate reminds me how passionate this community is about continuously improving patient care, documentation quality, and program excellence.

With CDI Week just around the corner, I'm especially excited to celebrate the incredible work of CDI professionals across the country. In recognition of CDI Week, we're also pleased to offer a complimentary ACDIS CEU through our upcoming CDI Roundtable focused on Query Compliance. Whether you're looking to strengthen your query practices, stay current with industry guidance, or simply connect with peers, we hope you'll join us. You'll find additional details and registration information in this month's CDI Insider.

As always, if there's anything our team can do to support your CDI initiatives, please don't hesitate to reach out. Whether you're looking for a sounding board, exploring new ideas, or working through a challenge, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect and share what we're seeing across the industry.

I hope you enjoy this month's edition of the CDI Insider!

Warm regards,

Alyson Swinehart
