Calling all managers and directors!

krushlau@hcpro.com

Hi everyone!

I am hoping to get in touch with some new folks for the CDI Journal. I am looking to speak with managers and directors about the importance of creating a CDI mission statement. If you or someone you know would be willing to speak with me, please contact me here or via e-mail at krushlau@hcpro.com. I appreciate it!


Thank you so much,
Katy

I'd love to get involved in this conversation too. We are a start-up CDI dept (from 10/1/15) and need to start making things official.

Cari,
Hi I'm Karen and working on a start-up CDI dept. I am the only person in the department, and I don't have any coding experience. I was an ED nurse when I transferred to the Quality department. It was decided that they wanted to start a CDI program and the girl who was starting it quit. I fell into the position. I just wanted to reach out since we are both new. Maybe we can help each other.

Have a great afternoon!

I am the Interim Manager for Legacy Health Systems CDIP program. We have had a Mission statement for a few years now, updated it once. I'm looking to review it again this year and would be interested in others Mission Statements and how the new Health Care measures impact our Mission.
Thanks
