RE: [MARKETING] malnutrition
When I put my malnutrition query form together, I involved the dieticians from the beginning to make sure the criteria was appropriate. It also gave me an opportunity to educate them on the CDI role and process. Like everyone has said, we don't make a diagnosis, we are simply presenting information which may or may not, depending on the providers interpretation, indicate the presence of a diagnosis.
