Description
Join us for CDI malnutrition essentials! Malnutrition is one of the most frequently targeted diagnoses in audits and payer reviews, making accurate documentation and clinical validation essential. This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of malnutrition in both adult and pediatric populations from a Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) perspective, with a focus on documentation requirements, diagnostic standards, and compliant query practices.
Participants will review the ASPEN and GLIM diagnostic criteria, identify key clinical indicators and documentation challenges, and explore CDI strategies to support accurate malnutrition reporting.
The session emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, provider engagement, and clinical validation query strategies that strengthen documentation and reduce denial risk across adult and pediatric care settings.
Objectives:
- Describe malnutrition and its impact on patient care, documentation quality, and audit risk within the clinical documentation integrity process for both adult and pediatric populations
- Identify clinical indicators and documentation elements necessary to support a diagnosis of malnutrition, including required severity levels in both adult and pediatric populations
- Differentiate between ASPEN and GLIM diagnostic criteria and their application within organizational documentation practices
- Apply CDI strategies to evaluate records for potential malnutrition documentation gaps and determine when provider clarification is warranted
- Construct compliant clinical validation queries for malnutrition that incorporate appropriate clinical indicators, treatment plans, and interdisciplinary documentation
