Why Attend?
Most CDI teams believe their queries are compliant. Few have recent evidence.
This roundtable closes that gap. Rather than reviewing guidance in the abstract, our CDI leaders share what they find when they audit real queries at real organizations — and what separates the programs that hold up under review from the ones that don't.
You'll leave with a clear picture of where query practices most often break down, the criteria to evaluate your own queries against current ACDIS/AHIMA guidance, and specific changes you can bring back to your team. Live Q&A is included, alongside the chance to compare notes with CDI professionals nationwide.
