004 | Erin Kreider RN NP CCDS | Shaping the Future of Documentation: Nursing to CDI + UM Product


Listen Later

If you've ever wondered why documentation matters beyond checking boxes, felt crushed by the emotional toll of bedside care, or been curious about the clinicians building the tools that shape everything in healthcare, this conversation will open your eyes.

👋 This episode covers:

  • The weight of being an empath in healthcare (and why it drives career transitions)
  • What CDI, MS-DRG, UM, and ICD-10 actually means for clinicians who've never touched revenue cycle
  • How your incomplete documentation haunts patients long after your shift ends
  • Whether you can burn out in non-clinical roles (yes, but differently)
  • Why AI tools aren't just nice-to-have anymore—they're necessary for clinician survival
  • How an NP becomes a product lead without losing her clinical identity

Erin Kreider MSN APRN NP-C CCDS spent years as a bedside nurse pouring her heart into patient care—and felt the weight of it. She grasped an opportunity to help build and implement a CDI program from scratch, learning the ins and outs of what makes “good” documentation and what gets hospitals paid.

After a few other career stops in Case Management and Utilization Review, and returning to NP school, Erin is THE swiss army knife of care delivery, patient navigation, and high quality billing and documentation.

Now, she's the CDI and Utilization Management Product Lead at Ambience Healthcare, bringing her depth of knowledge to build cutting-edge proactive AI tools to fix the documentation chaos she experienced firsthand and supercharge clinicians.
