    I used the study guide, my CDI Bootcamp notes, RAC information, and
    reviewed the AHIMA query process article.

    Was wondering if anyone out there uses EHR (Executive Health Resources) services and would be willing to share their thoughts about them…

    We use EHR here. Just started in March. If you would like to email me
    directly with your questions I'd be happy to share.

    We've used them for approx 1 1/2 years. We (the case managers) love
    them! Admin investigated changing to a comparable but cheaper service
    about 6 months ago but no one seemed to hold a candle to EHR. They are
    the gold standard!

    Great & essential tools that Robert mentions.

    *Also the AHIMA CDI program guideline.
    *Many of the blog posts are helpful (as I recall, Jennifer Love did a post on how she prepared and specifically mentioned reviewing blogs).
    *Review through the Journal & look at the monthly on-line article archives.
    *The Helpful resources page has a number of great links.
    *Make sure you review the ACDIS, HCPRO & Revenue Cycle white papers & benchmarking surveys (ACDIS ones are mixed in with the Journal, Rev Cycle -- http://blogs.hcpro.com/revenuecycleinstitute/white-papers/whitepaper-downloads/ )
    *Of course, the annual conference materials might be helpful for a variety of topics.
