We’re Dr. Richard Pinson and Cynthia Tang, and we think we make a pretty great team. Dr. Pinson has spent over 20 years as an emergency medicine physician; he’s board certified in internal medicine and emergency medicine, and an incredibly gifted teacher.
Cynthia Tang has spent her career building documentation improvement programs; she’s intimate with coding and spent many years consulting for hundreds of hospitals (where she met Dr. Pinson).
After consulting together for several years, and being frustrated with the poor quality of information available, we took matters into our own hands. We rolled up our sleeves, distilled our encyclopedic knowledge down to the essentials, and put it all together in a format guided by our practical experiences as both teachers and learners.
The resulting CDI Pocket Guide® became a runaway hit and is now in its 17th edition. A comprehensive CDI resource tool for coding professionals, clinical documentation specialists, and physician advisors, we’ve been privileged to watch it change the way many specialists - and hospitals - work.
The CDI Pocket Guide® is also available online as the CDI Pocket Guide® Unbound Edition, and as an app for your phone.
For over two decades, we’ve taught healthcare professionals how they can achieve clinical documentation excellence. We can help you discover powerful success drivers for your CDI program, so you can ensure patients get the right care at the right time.
