Hot-button Tuesday: Is CDI part of the clinical care team? For Robin Jones, the answer is yes—at a remove. No, Adventhealth West’s CDI professionals aren’t providing bedside care or “laying hands on the patient.” But because they’re required to spend a couple days per week onsite and round with physicians in their assigned unit, they’re immersed in clinical conversations that can and have impacted courses of treatment. “When they’re attending multidisciplinary rounds (MDRs) on their floor, they can contribute to MDRs. Whether that’s case management asking them about the geometric mean length of stay (GMLOS), or a physician talking about a change in the plan of care. Or maybe it’s realizing that something happened overnight with the patient. And so, they’re part of that bigger conversation.” I wrote about this topic a couple years ago and am linking to an article that appeared on the blog of Libman Education. As I wrote in that piece: A concurrent query for possible sepsis based on clear clinical indicators (elevated temperature, elevated white blood cell count, etc.) can bring clarity to a busy physician who hasn’t rendered that diagnosis. Noticing a medication without an associated diagnosis during a chart review, and asking a clinically relevant question, can result in the same. As can the simple act of directing a provider’s attention to a relevant clinical indicator in a mass of EHR documentation/cloned notes, serving as a second pair of eyes. Sort of like a librarian, but rather than pulling the right book, serving as a curator of clinically relevant information. *** I hope you enjoyed the recent episode with Robin—and if you haven’t yet listened, the link is below. I’m staying in my CDI roots with a new episode tomorrow, featuring a new guest to the show who has made data and analytics his true north.

Veteran Resource Fairs are impactful because they offer vital services to our veterans & families. Here are a few examples: 1. 🧐Centralized Access to Resources: Veteran resource fairs bring together a wide range of services & organizations under one roof, making it easier for veterans to access the support they need. This centralization is particularly beneficial for those who may be unaware of the various resources available to them. 2. 🌿Holistic Support: These fairs offer comprehensive support addressing various aspects of veterans' lives, including healthcare, employment, education, housing, & mental health. This holistic approach ensures that veterans receive well-rounded assistance tailored to their diverse needs. 3. 📑Employment Opportunities: Veteran resource fairs often feature job fairs where veterans can meet potential employers, learn about job openings, & receive assistance with resumes & interviews. This is crucial for helping veterans transition to civilian careers & gain financial stability . 4. 👩🏼‍⚕️Healthcare & Mental Health Services: Access to healthcare professionals & mental health services at these fairs can help veterans address both physical & psychological issues. Many veterans struggle with conditions such as PTSD and depression, & having immediate access to counseling and medical advice is invaluable . 5. 🌐Networking & Community Building: Veteran resource fairs provide opportunities for veterans to connect with each other & build a support network.
