How UHHS achieved rapid ROI with CDI transformation

Join clinical documentation integrity leaders from University Hospitals Health System (UHHS) as they share how a disciplined, data-driven CDI transformation helped deliver significant financial, quality and productivity outcomes in the first year and beyond.

In this session, UHHS CDI leaders will discuss how they transitioned from reviewing every inpatient admission to an intelligent, high-impact prioritization model powered by clinical evidence, analytics and workflow optimization. Learn how the organization leveraged CDI technology to improve productivity, strengthen risk adjustment capture, enhance quality performance and generate a compelling return on investment.

Hear firsthand how UHHS:   

• Accelerated CDI performance through a structured implementation approach and data-driven decision making
• Improved financial outcomes, complication or comorbidity/major complication or comorbidity (CC/MCC) capture, severity of illness (SOI), risk of mortality (ROM) and Patient Safety Indicator (PSI) metrics through targeted CDI workflows and technology adoption
• Increased CDI productivity by using natural language understanding (NLU) to reason over 100% of cases upfront and prioritize the highest value opportunities for CDI specialists   
• Enhanced quality outcomes through proactive identification and resolution of hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) and PSI opportunities before final coding and billing
• Sustained results through analytics-driven continuous improvement, strong CDI-coding collaboration and ongoing optimization
