Why Attend?
Most CDI programs still report productivity because productivity is easy to count.
But when leadership asks what CDI is worth, activity numbers don't answer the question. Volume proves the team is busy. It doesn't prove the documentation improved, the coding held up, or the program paid for itself.
This roundtable covers the components of a real CDI quality program, the metrics that actually demonstrate value, and practical ways to put measurement in place without adding staff. Live Q&A is included, alongside the chance to compare notes with CDI professionals nationwide.
