Today’s guest is Katherine Parsley, MSN, RN, CPHQ, CCDS, CDI manager at Providence Health & Services in Oregon. Today’s show is hosted by ACDIS Associate Editorial Director Linnea Archibald, Director of Programming Rebecca Hendren, Editor and Product Coordinator Karla Kozak, and Associate Editor Jess Fluegel. The show provides a glimpse behind the scenes of all things ACDIS in a more casual, conversational format than our other podcast series. 

Our intro and outro music for the ACDIS Podcast is “medianoche” by Dee Yan-Kay and our ad music is “Take Me Higher” by Jahzzar, both obtained from the Free Music Archive.
