Physicians and Other Clinicians

CDI Specialist and Coder Training - Pinson and Tang
Your medical staff are the foundation of a successful clincial documentation integrity (CDI) program, yet they are the most stressed of all groups in healthcare. How can you convey the necessary information without putting undue pressure on already overly full schedules?

Simple: Our CDI for the Clinician® microlearning modules for physicians and other healthcare practitioners are quick, clear, and painless. In just 3 to 5 minutes, each diagnostic “skill” teaches the documentation terminology, definitions, and supporting evidence-based criteria for the diagnoses to ensure accurate and compliant documentation for both the physician and hospital. 

For the physician, the on-line training tool is self-paced, convenient, timesaving, and evidence based. The tool zeroes in on the most clinically important 50+ clinical diagnoses that provide the greatest challenges in practice, and delivers essential, authoriative diagnostic criteria. Physicians can access these skills any time, from any device. 

CDI education for clinicians should be painless: this is the way to do it!
