Clinical Documentation Improvement FAQs
Clinical documentation improvement (CDI), also known as “clinical documentation integrity”, is the best practices, processes, technology, people, and joint effort between providers and billers that advocates the completeness, precision, and validity of provider documentation inherent to transaction code sets (e.g. ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS, CPT, HCPCS) sanctioned by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act in the United States.
Accurate clinical documentation is a description of the patient that accurately reflects their condition, abilities, and environmental situation at that point in time. Clinicians must be sure documentation supports the developed plan of care, accurately describes patient outcomes, and reflects clinical competence.

Put simply, a CDS has to make sure all the information gathered and recorded is accurate and detailed. They may go through every piece of paper and every line of medical code for each patient’s case. When it seems like information is missing, or there is conflicting data, it’s often up to a CDS to fill in the blanks. These situations require the CDS to communicate with various departments to make sure a patient’s records are as accurate and in-depth as possible.
