As our Revenue Cycle CDI Specialist, you will serve as a vital clinical partner dedicated to enhancing the accuracy and integrity of inpatient medical records. You will play a pivotal role in ensuring that provider documentation effectively captures the severity of illness, expected risk of mortality, and complexity of care for every patient. By bridging the gap between clinical teams, quality departments, and coding professionals, you will drive excellence in DRG assignment and support the overall financial health of CommonSpirit Health through compliant, high-quality documentation practices.
Every day you will conduct thorough medical record reviews for your assigned patient population, performing initial evaluations within 24–48 hours of admission and executing systematic follow-ups to maintain precise working DRG assignments. You will utilize your clinical expertise to formulate compliant provider queries that clarify missing or conflicting information while adhering to strict AHIMA and ACDIS guidelines. Additionally, you will serve as a front-line educator, providing guidance to physicians, nursing staff, and allied health practitioners to ensure continuous improvement in clinical documentation standards.
To be successful in this role, you will need a deep understanding of Official Coding and Reporting Guidelines, AHA Coding Clinics, and current CMS directives. You must be a proactive collaborator who excels at building professional relationships with HIM coding teams and providing constructive feedback to providers. Your ability to translate complex clinical data into actionable documentation, combined with your comfort in presenting to diverse groups and troubleshooting technical issues in a remote environment, will be key to your success and to the achievement of our enterprise-wide clinical documentation goals.
