CDI in Magnet Facilities
Couple quick questions for those of you who are performing CDI in Magnet-designated facilities:
To what department do you report?
Do you report directly to nursing leadership? Indirectly to nursing leadership? No reporting to nursing leadership?
Thanks so much!

Here at Medical University of South Carolina, MUSC, our CDI department reports to our Quality Department. We don't report to nursing leadership.
Thanks, Karen Bridgeman, MSN,RN,CCDS
Our organization is working toward magnet designation, we report to HIM.
Thanks,Jeff
We report to HIM and are a magnet hospital. Previously we reported to Nursing. This was not a good fit as our value as CDI specialist was overlooked.
