This form contains a proposal for mandatory physician education regarding facility CDI practices. Created by Rebecca "Ali" Williams, RN, BSN, CCDS, this document can be adapted and brought forward to your facility's medical staff director or your program director to foster the ongoing training of incoming physicians.

Hospitals and physicians are transitioning from ­paper and hybrid medical records to EHRs. Because physicians are also requesting electronic versions of other information, such as newsletters, consider keeping them informed about documentation and coding through the use of e-blasts: mass emails sent to physicians.

Use these examples of brief e-blast messages pertaining to CDI from HCPro’s CDI Toolkit to create your own messages.
