Which factors are important to include when refocusing the primary vision of a clinical documentation...

A CDI program’s vision should reflect its purpose, values, and goals, and align with the organization’s overall vision and mission. Value and mission statements help define the CDI program’s role, scope, and objectives, and communicate them to stakeholders. Reporting and the use of technology are important tools for a CDI program, but they are not part of its vision. Benchmarks and case mix index are performance indicators that measure the CDI program’s outcomes, but they do not reflect its vision. Diagnostic related groups and revenue cycle are aspects of reimbursement that may be affected by the CDI program, but they are not the primary focus of its vision.
