Remote CDI Again
Hi All,
Hope the holidays were enjoyable for you.
I need to get some details from people doing remote work. Is anyone willing to call me or let me call you. It would be helpful for me to be able to speak to two or three people in order to get a good sampling. In case it doesn't show my email is donna.kent@yahoo.com
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Donna

It's apparent that CA and MA have the highest percentages paying more than $110,000 annually. I currently work as a consultant doing interim work and feel I'm paid well. However, I'm seriously hoping to get a remote position. Other agencies tell me you're not paid aas well for them. I don't believe it frankly. You're doing the same work.

The other thing I think would be to look at opportunities that are not strictly CDI, if you are open to that. There are a TON of opportunities right now with I-10 and/or consulting agencies. Marny require some travel but I have recieved information many times on fully remote opportunities. These opportunities are most often in I-10 preparedness or helping new hospitals design their own programs as opposed to concurrent chart review but someone with CDI experience would be a good candidate for these roles.

-- Benefit to CDI RN: commute time/gas, comfort of home
-- Benefit to organization: office space
-- Benefit to community: work-life balance to employee, less carbon footprint (esp in California)
You do need to ensure:
- access to medical records via full EMR or hybrid EMR
- specific policies and procedures on "telecommuting"
- monitoring and PIP if CDRs not performing at standards established, to come back to office until performance improves
Also, you need to ensure atleast:
- once a month the CDRs come to office for education meetings, mgr 1:1 mtgs, IT updates
- once a month be on-site at hospital to educate physicians or share performance data to show impact of CDI program.
