Yuen, RHIA, CCS, CCDS, CDIP Page Knauss, BSN, RN, LNC, ACM, CPC, CDEO Find best practices and helpful advice for getting started in outpatient CDI with First Steps in Outpatient CDI: Tips and Tools for Building a Program. This first-of-its-kind book provides an overview of what outpatient CDI entails, covers industry guidance and standards for outpatient documentation, reviews the duties of outpatient CDI specialists, and examines how to obtain backing from leadership.

In the past decade, outpatient visits increased by 44% while hospital visits decreased by nearly 20%, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. However, just because physicians are outside the hospital walls doesn't mean they're free from documentation challenges.

This book will explore those opportunities and take a look at how others are expanding their record review efforts in the outpatient world. This book will help you: Target the outpatient settings that offer the greatest CDI opportunities Understand the quality and payment initiatives affecting outpatient services Understand the coding differences between inpatient and outpatient settings Identify data targets Incorporate physician needs to ensure support for program expansion Assess needs by program type
