Personalize Sched by creating a custom schedule based on the sessions you are interested in attending using the Sched website or mobile app. You can view your schedule as a simple list, detailed view, or grid view; sort by venue or session type; and identify each activity at a glance with Sched’s useful color-coding system. Once you are headed to or arrive at the convention, you can print or sync your schedule to your smart phone for easy viewing!
The ACE Sched even highlights friends and contacts also attending, so after you create a Sched profile, connect using your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Foursquare accounts to network ahead of time.
Current information as of 7-23-2013; schedule subject to change.
Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) programs are being implemented throughout healthcare environments in a multidisciplinary effort to have documentation more accurately and appropriately reflect the clinician's complete interaction with a patient so that it provides the relevant information necessary for the wide range of its uses. These include clinical care, care management, administrative and financial purposes, quality improvement, research, and reimbursement. A major impetus for the development of CDI is the introduction of ICD-10 into the US. With more than 137,000 more codes than ICD-9, it requires more detailed patient data.
Attendees will learn what clinical documentation improvement is and its goals; how CDI programs are designed and managed; how CDI programs are impacting documentation; the job description, required experience and education, and responsibilities of CDI specialists; and how medical transcriptionists, coders, and others can participate in CDI programs.
