Mobile CDI Solutions app for iPhone and iPad

**Welcome to the 1st mobile CDI (Clinical Documentation Improvement) app!
**Updated to include changes to the 2012 MS-DRG MCC & CC lists!
This app was generated by physicians in an effort to educate other physicians & healthcare providers, residents and students about improving clinical documentation. Mobile educational tools such as this have been lacking within the healthcare industry. Improving clinical documentation to clarify nonspecific, conflicting, or imprecise provider documentation will more accurately reflect a patients severity of illness and resource utilization. This has many benefits, including improved coding and assignment of proper DRGs, more accurate reflection of severity of illness and risk of mortality, support of medical necessity, improved accuracy of physician and hospital quality metrics and profiles, as well as improved accuracy of reimbursement.
There are thousands and thousands of CCs and MCCs published every year. In our opinion, it is unrealistic for anyone to expect to memorize all of these terms and phrases and have them handy when making clinical or chart review rounds. Therefore, what we have done, based on our own clinical experiences & CDI knowledge, was to turn those thousands of MCCs and CCs into a handy, manageable, useful app whereby we selected 10-20 most common CCs and MCCs per major specialty and linked each of them to clinical definitions and clinical indicators.

Please note that the data contained in this app is provided for educational purposes only. We recommend that you consult with your compliance officer and CDI Director before using the information in this app in your institution.

The information in this app is based on the authors opinions and derived from their combined 35 years of clinical experiences. The educational suggestions herein may not be applicable to every physician in every institution and ultimately the treating or attending physician is solely responsible for his or her own judgment, diagnoses and clinical documentation.
Thank you for supporting this effort.
