Pediatric CDI resources
Hi everyone!
What sorts of pediatric CDI resources are you always looking for? Is there something you'd be interested in seeing from ACDIS in the pediatric CDI space? We want to make sure we're keeping up with the members' needs!
Thanks!

Good morning, I have been searching high and low for a single book that covers the special documentation needs for Pediatric CDI and I can not find anything. I am a quality and education coordinator and a large hospital system and we are trying to start a pediatric CDI program. But there is so little information it is difficult to direct the specialist. If you are aware of any current training guides, or books, please let me know. Thank you.
There currently isn't a single resource for Pediatric CDI Programs. The CDI Pocket Guide by Dr. Pinson and Ms. Tang is a great resource for some common diagnoses. I would say the best resource at this point is the Forum. Feel free to post questions here as many of us have started up Pediatric CDI Programs "from scratch" and can probably help you. There are many seasoned Pediatric CDI's on the forum.
Please feel free to reach out to me via email and I will do what I can to answer specific questions. My email is jwmorris@health.southalabama.edu

I agree with Jeff. I also recommend the 2017 CDI Pocket Guide by Pinson & Tang as a resource and this forum is very helpful. Also ACDIS site has useful information under resources~ many different CDI specialists (adult and pediatric) have voluntarily contributed info for others to use or refer to. I advise all your CDIs be ACDIS members so they have full access to the site/resources/forum.

(Also, I believe you can contact anyone on the forum by clicking on their name above their post/comment and sending him/her a private message.)
Hi , unfortunately, at this time there is nothing out there. I agree that using this form and the conf calls are a great resource.

Thanks for the recommendation as well! It's always great to know of other resources out there, especially for pediatric diagnoses
I sent in my info for the APDIS website but have heard nothing back. Can someone advise.
