CDI Educator
Saw a job posting recently on ACDIS Job board (copied below).
Also heard from another hospital "We are in the process of hiring an ICD-10 educator for CDI/coding and everyone else."
Looks like a very interesting role, and I would love to hear how it works out (as well as why it is being launched in the first place & more detail information about the plans for the role).
Anyone else have these type of dedicated positions?
