AHIMA held a clinical documentation improvement (CDI) summit on July 31–August 1, 2017. The summit is an annual AHIMA event that brings together speakers with expertise in advancing the documentation journey in today’s complex healthcare environment.

Additional topics focused on program improvement efforts and leadership, outpatient CDI, physician engagement and education, coding and CDI synergy, clinical validation, CDI in specialty areas, and regulatory issues. The summit is an excellent venue for the sharing of best practices, challenges and issues affecting CDI oversight and management.
