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.
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.
