We want you to present at the 2017 ACDIS conference... apply today!
ACDIS recently opened up speaking applications for the 2017 ACDIS conference. Our 2017 program, which takes place May 9-12, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, marks the 10th annual ACDIS conference. We hope you can join us, and we’d love to have you share your ideas, insight, and expertise on the podium!
Speaking at ACDIS has many benefits, including:
- Personal and hospital recognition. You’ll be visibly sharing your ideas and have a great addition to your resume and portfolio of accomplishments
- Additional CEU opportunities. Earn credits towards your CCDS (two CEUs for each half-hour of presentation time)
- Free admission to the conference for you and your co-presenters
Our 2017 ACDIS Conference Committee compiled a “must-have” list of recommended sessions to help you shape your submission. You can view those here. But if you don’t see your idea listed, that’s just fine: We also welcome creative, out-of-the-box applications as well.
The ACDIS conference offers basic sessions for profession newcomers, as well as sessions for those at an intermediate and advanced levels. This year the committee particularly wants enough advanced sessions on the podium to satisfy those with 8-10 years (or more) experience in the CDI profession. While we are accepting sessions at any level, advanced sessions will be given additional consideration by the committee. How are we defining “advanced,” you ask? It’s as follows:
Advanced CDI sessions are those that include information that benefit established CDI programs and the experienced CDI professional. This content includes statistics and data obtained after implementation and evaluation of new and advanced processes, second level review, collaboration with ancillary departments, identification of query opportunities beyond CC/MCC capture, and advanced management processes. Advanced coding/clinical sessions should include complex case examples.
The speaker application period closes Monday, September 12. Speaker selection will be made by the Conference Committee and applicants will be notified of their decision in late October/early November.
In short, attend the conference and please apply to speak—sharing ideas and celebrating success are what ACDIS community and networking are all about.
