Physician and CDI collaboration

The ACDIS Podcast

Today’s guest is Sharme Brodie, RN, CCDS, CCDS-O, a CDI education specialist for HCPro and ACDIS based in Middleton, Massachusetts. Today’s show is part of the “Conversations with Karla” series. In every episode of this series, ACDIS Editor and Product Coordinator Karla Accorto will be joined by a guest who’s behind one of our most popular and exciting ACDIS educational offerings to share their expertise. Our intro and outro music for the ACDIS Podcast is “medianoche” by Dee Yan-Kay and our ad music is “Take Me Higher” by Jahzzar, both obtained from the Free Music Archive.

Today’s sponsor: The Physician Documentation Integrity Pocket Card, which was recently reviewed and updated, helps you improve patient acuity and severity by focusing on common areas of vague and nonspecific physician documentation.
