Book excerpt: Clinical Documentation Improvement (CDI) Made Easy is a great resource and reference that every Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist/Professional (CDIS/CDIP), coder, physician champion/advisor, and others involved in the CDI must have. The book is a compendium of sound clinical knowledge and experience, clinical documentation expertise, and quality, which will help the CDIS/CDIP and others maximize their potentials in performing their core duties. Whether you are a new CDIS trying to learn CDI or an experienced CDIS hoping to stay current with CDI world, or involved in the CDI, this book will be very valuable to you. Remember, accurate and quality documentation is a reflection of great patient care. "If it wasn't documented, and documented accurately, it never happened." This book clearly explained various query opportunities by Major Disease Classifications (MDCs) with some sample queries. It defines and analyses different disease processes, creates CDIS awareness and what to look for under various MDCs, ICD-10-CM/PCS, explained current CMS Pay for Performance (P4P), and the CDI responsibility under P4P, explained some pertinent coding guidelines, 2016 Official Coding Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, AHIMA/ACDIS practice brief for queries and compliance, and much more. I have no doubt in my mind that this book is a concise but a comprehensive tool and reference that anyone involved in CDI should always have at his/her side. The Author Anthony O Nkwuaku, RN, PHN, MSN, CPHQ, CCDS is very knowledgeable and experienced as a clinician, clinical instructor, and Clinical Documentation Improvement Specialist.
