Book excerpt: Clinical Validation Reviews for CDI Professionals tackles the nuances of a critical concern for CDI professionals and provides expert guidance for meeting challenging chart reviews head-on. With government auditors frequently denying claims due to lack of clinical indicators for documented diagnoses, CDI professionals are left asking whether they should simply code a clinically unsupported diagnosis or query the physician. While the answer may seem clear, querying can lead to productivity reductions, additional education outreach, and a call for broader policies governing query escalation and reconciliation. This brand-new book leverages its authors' expertise to help CDI professionals effectively and efficiently navigate these issues during a necessary query process. By understanding clinical validation concerns, CDI staff can become better translators and storytellers--clarifying the medical record without appearing to question the physician's medical judgment.
