Hello.
In today's CDI Strategies regarding activities for CDI week, it
mentioned doing a CDI specialist exchange day where one shadows a CDI
specialist at another facility. Anyone interested in exchanging
information (via email/phone) about their CDI program, computer program
(especially if use Epic), and possibly shadowing at another facility
(local, state or nationally)? If so, please reply or contact me. Thanks!
:-)

    Hello,

    While I like the idea of shadowing a colleague in another facility, I think it would be very eye opening to engage some physicians by having them job shadow us for an hour or two. It would have to be a very special physician willing to learn and they would already be making the changes necessary to improve.

    Hi! I would love to be able to shadow someone. I have only been doing this for a year and really have had no one to follow up with!

    Hello,

    I have asked my management about the same thing. I helped start our program here 5 years ago, we had consultants come in to train us, we still do not have CAC, and we are supposed to get it this year?? But pretty much have been on our own. I would love to go to another facility or even have someone come here if you would like to shadow. We could certainly learn from each other.

    My boss would like for me to go to a Children's Hospital that uses EPIC
    as EMR and has an established CDI program with a CDI computer program
    (such as Peak, 3M, etc.) in place~ any one able to accommodate this
    (shadowing for a few days)? To be clear~ shadowing to see the structure
    of the program and day to day responsibilities of CDI staff, not about
    the pt population (respectful of HIPPA, etc. of course). We are still
    "forming" our program here so shadowing here may not be so helpful at
    this time, but most likely would be an option in the future when there
    is more structure in place.
