AHIMA CDIP Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Sharing the mission of the CDI program should be done to ensure a clear sense of what CDI is and the CDI practitioner’s role within the organization. The mission statement defines the purpose, goals, and values of the CDI program, and how it aligns with the organization’s vision and strategy. The mission statement also communicates the benefits and expectations of the CDI program to various stakeholders, such as providers, executives, coders, quality staff, and patients. The mission statement can help establish the credibility, professionalism, and identity of the CDI practitioners, and guide their daily activities and decisions 2.

A noncompliant query includes querying the provider regarding gram-negative pneumonia on every pneumonia case, regardless of documented clinical indicators because it may lead to over-specification of a diagnosis that is not supported by the health record. A compliant query should be based on the clinical evidence and documentation in the record, and should not suggest or imply a diagnosis that is not clinically relevant or plausible. A query should also not be driven by reimbursement or coding factors, but by the need to improve the quality and accuracy of documentation. (CDIP Exam Preparation Guide)

The organizations that a clinical documentation integrity practitioner (CDIP) should monitor are Recovery Auditors (RAs), Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER), and Office of Inspector General (OIG). These organizations are involved in auditing, reviewing, and investigating the accuracy, completeness, and compliance of clinical documentation, coding, billing, and reimbursement practices of hospitals and other healthcare providers. The CDIP should monitor these organizations to stay updated on their policies, guidelines, findings, recommendations, and actions that may affect the CDI program and the hospital’s performance and reputation. [3][3] References: 1: [ 3][3]:
