This webinar provides a comprehensive review of Clinical Documentation Integrity (CDI) concepts related to diseases, disorders, and procedures of the gastrointestinal system. Participants will examine common gastrointestinal conditions, including gastrointestinal hemorrhage, bowel disorders, infectious and inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal malignancies, and digestive system procedures.

- Identify documentation deficiencies, diagnosis specificity requirements, and compliant query opportunities to support accurate clinical documentation and code assignment
- Recognize clinical indicators, complications, comorbid conditions, and underlying etiologies that impact severity of illness (SOI), risk of mortality (ROM), DRG assignment, and quality outcomes
- Develop a systematic CDI record review process that supports compliant provider queries, complete documentation, and accurate representation of patient acuity
