Pediatric/Childrens CDI Programs

Are there members out there that would be willing to discuss their CDI efforts in the area of pediatrics? I would be interested in developing some contacts.

    I would be interested as well. I'm sure we will be adding the Women's and children's population to our census soon & I have let it be known I wouldn't mind covering it as I seem to be the most familiar w/coding & reviewing those charts.

    We have a very high M'Caid population in our Women & Children's area - so if anyone has any APR DRG tips for documentation I would be greatly interested.

    Thank you,

    I am interested as well. Especially in regards to APR’s. We have a high Medicaid population and Az Medicaid is moving to APR’s in October.

  • We actually have a pediatric/children's networking group that has met a few times and a large show of pediatric interest at the ACDIS conference. We are in the process of setting up a separate "listserv" for the group and expect to start more formal networking meetings in August. Please email me directly if you'd like me to add you to list.
