Medical necessity app

Following on the recent discussion about mobile apps (I never could get the mobile CDI app to show up in iTunes), I'm just sharing an app that I found when looking for information on admission criteria. It's called Standard Hospital Admission Criteria, and it can be bought for $6.99. There are several ways to get it, but I am using a 14-day free trial through a free app called Skyscape. Skyscape also comes with some free resources and lots of others available for purchase. I'm not shilling for the product, just thought some people who look at documentation for medical necessity might be interested.

    The CDI App (according to the people who created it)isn't available right now due to "making some changes". Maybe if they get several emails, they may make it available again. The email address is dangleben1969@gmail.com.

    A response I received from the CDI App guy after emailing my interest to him:

    "Why..when it was available, no one bought it. I don't see why the sudden interest."
