Ms. Russo outlines the basic concepts of clinical documentation improvement (CDI) as they apply to the outpatient setting, and covers regulatory, licensure and legal implications for outpatient documentation.

She closes with a discussion of CDI methods and implications in each of the four outpatient settings in focus: the ED, diagnostic testing, ASU, and observation. Ms. Russo, co-founder and CEO of HP3, Inc., has designed documentation improvement programs for acute care hospitals and documentation training programs for physicians and clinicians throughout the health care continuum.
