This Could Be the Perfect Job for You
The overall improvement of healthcare records is critical for providers that strive to provide the best possible experience for their patients. And that’s why, today, there’s growing interest in Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI)—the process of elevating these records to ensure better outcomes, data quality, and accurate reimbursement. CDI specialists play a key role in facilitating this process by providing valuable insights in day-to-day reviews of patient health information and educating others in best practices. If you’ve got previous coding experience and now you’re looking to broaden your career opportunities, this path will set you up for more responsibility and a higher salary.Â
