Welcome to Clinical Documentation Improvement Week 2023 (18 to 22 September).
This is a week where we celebrate the contributions of our Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Professionals to Monash Health. They play a vital role by improving patient safety, enhancing the quality of healthcare data, and ensuring the financial sustainability of health services.
What do CDI Professionals do?
