CDI for the Clinician® is a micro-learning training application that caters to the needs of busy physicians to quickly master the logic, principles, and essential facts that ensure clinical documentation integrity (CDI).
HOUSTON, May 16, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pinson & Tang, LLC, authors of the best-selling original CDI Pocket Guide®, have launched CDI for the Clinician® in partnership with ImplementHIT. Using a microlearning approach, this training application caters to the needs of busy physicians to quickly master the logic, principles, and essential facts that ensure clinical documentation integrity (CDI).
Since writing the first CDI Pocket Guide® back in 2008, Pinson & Tang have continued to pioneer innovative training tools for healthcare professionals to optimize reimbursements while clarifying the reasoning and clinical benefits behind best documentation practices. In addition to updating the Pocket Guide® each year to stay on top of changes in regulations as well as the clinical landscape, they have again set a high bar: CDI for the Clinician® uses ImplementHIT's technology to present their expert clinical and CDI content in bite-sized chunks that give physicians and other healthcare providers complete control over how they learn and how much they learn at a given time, whatever device they are using—computer, pad, or smart phone.
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 or "skills" that provide the greatest challenges in practice, and delivers essential, authoritative diagnostic criteria based on Pinson & Tang's decades of real-life practice experience.
For the healthcare organization, the training tool incorporates robust completion tracking, automated reminders, and CME credit to improve training outcomes. The result is greater learner satisfaction and acquired competency.
As Cynthia Tang, RHIA, CCS, CRC, shares, "What physicians like most about this tool is that it is self-paced and laser-focused on only the essential information they need--there are no frills such as time-consuming videos or voice-overs or disruptive advertisements that plague many other training platforms. In just 3 to 5 minutes, each diagnostic 'skill' teaches the documentation terminology, definitions, and supporting evidence-based diagnostic criteria to ensure accurate and compliant documentation for both the physician and hospital."
The training tool was designed with unobtrusiveness, speed, and simplicity in mind, making it suitable for use anywhere, anytime. Moreover, the learning process is sustained through a post-training performance mobile app, Pinson & Tang's CDI+MD app for iOS and Android devices. These 30-second versions of the five-minute skills presented in the training content provide an essential mechanism for refreshing the learned material and keeping one's knowledge current.
