CDI Staffing Info Questions
I know we have discussed this issue in the past but would like to hear updates - especially what you are doing to prepare for ICD-10.
1. What is your hospital bed size?
2. How do you determine staffing? Number of CDI/bed, CDI/Adjusted Admit, CDI/Discharge, or other?
3. Total number of reviews/day goal (include new and follow-ups)?
4. Do you have plans to change your staffing due to ICD - 10 if so how?
5. Do you review all payers or selected payers?
6. Do you only do "pure" CDI or do you also handle hospital acquired condition review process, PSIs, UR, Case Management or other functions?
I appreciate your response as we budget for the new year with the ever changing reimbursement challenges.
